http://www.assignmentcloud.com/soc-315-ash/soc-315-week-2-dq-2-legacy-of-slavery-and-imperialism-in-africa
Read Historical Legacies: A Model Linking Africa’s Past to Its Current Underdevelopment . Between 1400 and 1900, the African continent experienced four simultaneous slave trades.

b. The Red Sea slave trade: slaves were taken from inland of the Red Sea and shipped to the Middle East and India.
c. Indian Ocean slave trade: slaves were taken from inland of the Red Sea and shipped to the Middle East and India.
d. The trans-Atlantic slave trade: slaves were shipped from West Africa to the Caribbean and the Americas.
The trans-Saharan, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean slave trades dated from the late Medieval period and acted as the basis for the more well known trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Assess how the legacy of the slave trade, and intervening imperialist ventures by European nations, has led to the relative underdevelopment of Africa today. How did these twin legacies affect African society, culture, and politics?

SOC 315 Week 2 Similarities and Differences between American and European Values
http://www.assignmentcloud.com/soc-315-ash/soc-315-week-2-similarities-and-differences-between-american-and-european-values
Different cultures have different values and reconciling these values is one of the most frustrating elements of foreign policy. Understanding and evaluating values is extremely important when it comes to influencing the conduct of a nation’s affairs. Even amongst cultures that share the majority of their values, such as the United States and the countries of Western Europe, there may be differences of opinion regarding the relative importance of particular values.
In November, 2011, the Pew Research Center conducted a poll based on American and Western European values.
After reading American Exceptionalism Subsides: The American-Western European Values Gap (http://www.pewglobal.org/2011/11/17/the-american-western-european-values-gap/), appraise the values of Europe and the U.S. when it comes to the following components:
a. the utilization of military
b. whether they should be engaged with and provide assistance to other countries or be isolated from other countries
c. their beliefs about being a superior culture
d. political beliefs, individualism, or the role of the state
e. the role of religion
f. beliefs about homosexuality

SOC 315 Week 4 DQ 2 Social Stratification Systems Caste vs Class
http://www.assignmentcloud.com/soc-315-ash/soc-315-week-4-dq-2-social-stratification-systems-caste-vs-class
India’s caste system, in which there are four major castes, or varnas, is a social construct that is ascribed and immutable: people are born into this system and cannot move between castes. In American society, class systems, of which there are five, are social rankings based largely on economic position. In America, unlike India, one can transcend class through economic or social success. After reading “Overlapping identities under liberalization: Gender and case in India”, assess whether or not an individual can transcend class in the United States.
As you respond to your peers, address potential factors that can affect class status in the US, especially considering the influx of skilled and educated workers coming from India.
