The pre-Aryan Harappan civilization in the Indus valley seems to have had many feminine and egalitarian qualities, but unfortunately, without writing, little is known of their history and beliefs. Floods and over-grazing may have made them more vulnerable to conquest. The invasion of white-skinned Aryan conquerors of the dark natives in India is documented in the Vedic scriptures of the Hindus. Powerful religious beliefs similar to the Iranians' were used to justify the establishment of a caste system based on skin color and occupations. Hindu society was dominated by the Brahmin priests and Kshatriya warrior-kings, supported by artisan, merchant, and farming Vaishyas, all of whom exploited the labor of the natives. Aryan ways were patriarchal and violent. Yet somehow in India the western religion combined with the eastern methods of yoga and meditation to develop a remarkable spiritual philosophy and ascetic way of life based on inner awareness and renunciation of the world. The sages of the Upanishads left teachings that written would inspire millions with their mystical wisdom. The doctrines of karma and reincarnation explained how spiritual justice transcends one lifetime, and the mystical methods offered seekers a path of liberation from the cycle. An ethical life of nonviolence was only the first step in such an awesome endeavor, while renouncing worldly success made the society more inward than other materialistic cultures.

Hosted By Name Description King David of Israel When David conquered Jerusalem around 1005 BC, he was a minor king subject to the Philistines. Israel`s first king Saul had been crushed at Gilboa by the Philistines, who resumed their customary dominance over the country. Instead of garrisoning the Hebrew towns they now preferred a policy of divide and rule. At Saul`s death Israel was split into tribal groups, Saul`s son Ish-Baal ruled most of the Eastern tribes and David in the hill country of the South. At this point David was still a retainer of the Philistines, he proved far to ambitious and capable to remain anyones vassal.

In The Shadow Of Angkor From the catalogue essay The Religions of ancient Cambodia by in Cambodiaas part of their general expansion into southeast asia, to Indochina, http://www.ovationtv.com/artszone/teachers/angkor.html
Extractions: Our web presentation of In The Shadow of Angkor emphasizes: It is possible that many students know little or nothing about Cambodia. Most Americans showed little interest in the country before it became strategically important during the Vietnam War. But many of us were horrified by the revelations of what has since been termed "genocide" under the Khmer Rouge regime of Pol Pot. Those students who read a daily newspaper will have been exposed to frequent stories since the summer (1997) of the political turmoil in the country, and the trial of Pol Pot.

Extractions: The General Education Program is a set of requirements for all students seeking the baccalaureate degree at Western Kentucky University. It is an integral part of the undergraduate curriculum that both complements and supports the students' preparation in their major field or specialization. The General Education Program helps students maximize their individual potential. Students develop understanding, appreciation, and acceptance of multiple ways of knowing (i.e., artistic, literacy, philosophical, historical, scientific) through the acquisition, organization, and analysis of specific bodies of knowledge. They are encouraged to acquire aesthetic and appreciative faculties, to explore and test their own values and ethical frameworks, and to demonstrate sensitivity to diverse perspectives and cultures. The General Education Program provides a foundation for professional success. Students learn to think critically, make rational decisions, and communicate effectively. These skills support their ability to acquire, evaluate, and use the specific knowledge in their major field or specialization and also ensure that they will be adaptable and flexible in the face of changing career plans and requirements.

Smith Anthropology is the science of humankind in all its diversity. It includes the study of human origins, physical characteristics, adaptations, distributions, customs, artifacts, languages, beliefs, and practices. Anthropologists divide their work among four subdisciplines. Cultural anthropologists live among and study contemporary peoples, their social institutions, and the creative products of their social lives. Archaeologists study material objects left behind by prehistoric and historic peoples and document stability and change in human behavior over long time periods. Physical (biological) anthropologists study living primates; the fossil record of primates and early humans; comparative anatomy and osteology; forensic anthropology; and the evolutionary and biological bases for cognition and culture in humans. Anthropological linguists study the evolution and structure of human language and the relationships between launguage, culture, and society.

Students electing this option will take a significant proportion of their course work in the College of Business. This option is intended to prepare students for a career that capitalizes on their knowledge of Asia. The undergraduate program in Asian studies is administered through the College of Social Sciences. As an interdisciplinary program, no minor is required, except in the case of the Asian studies/business option, in which the business course work constitutes a minor. Students interested in either of these degree program options should consult with the director of Asian studies.

Extractions: Artifacts on loan, courtesy of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, Hyde Park, New York By 1941 the only overland access to China was from India over the Himalayas on the hairpin mountain curves of the Burma Road. Japan controlled this route, so supplies to the Chinese army had to be flown in by a dangerous route known as "the Hump." It took years of bitter fighting in hellish terrain before the Allies were able to reclaim the Burma Road Even after the efforts of The Flying Tigers , all of Southeast Asia was under Japanese control by the time America officially entered the war. Chiang Kai-shek's forces - busy fighting the Communists - failed to stop the Japanese advance in Burma, and lost the one remaining overland supply route to China, the Burma Road. The Allies had to take to the skies over the Himalayan Mountains to supply Chiang's army.
