According to Dr. John Campbell Regional Course Coordinator, “It is a clouded term that is influenced by the things around us and the dominant culture that surrounds us. Civilization or Savagery is based upon how we perceive things and the criteria in which we judge different people or societies.”

I started this class innocently mislead, naive and unaware with the expectations of learning of many new and exiting topics in Caribbean history. Caribbean Civilization has not only taught me new things, but has also opened my eyes about events that I thought I knew even before taking this course. I begun this course referring to early settlers as "Caribs" and "Arawaks" and from the onset were were told of its falsehood. The correct terms being "Paleo Indian", "Meso Indian" and "Neo Indian".  I learned about the civilization of Caribbean people, and what was considered civilized as opposed to what wasn't. We were taught of West Indian Slavery and Caribbean Chattel Slavery and how they differed from each other. I also learned of Religion, Education and Family life and how they all act as "socialization agents" within Caribbean societies.  We as Caribbean people know that every Caribbean island expresses their culture in different ways, whether it be carnival, our genre of music, cuisine and several others. During this course I learned of other forms of cultural expression throughout the Caribbean region. We were taught so many new and exciting things about our Caribbean and ancestors. So many deceits were corrected and I if not anyone else, I have grasped so many new concepts and understandings of Caribbean history that I did not know before this course, and might have never known if I decided against perusing this particular course. 

Regards, 
A more culturally aware you. ]]> 2016-11-13 08:54:33 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/137174441 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/137215664 WE CAN ACHIEVE WHATEVER WE SET OUT TO DO!]]> 2016-11-13 18:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/137215664 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/137215890 2016-11-13 19:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/137215890 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/137539816 Think about how you use the term "civilized".

When going to school I was always taught that the Caribs were war like but, that was not so they were misunderstood. I also learned that Christopher Columbus was not the one who discovered the Caribbean, it was already inhabited by people.  In addition to that I learned that no civilization is better than the other, they are just different. civilization is an advanced state of human society, in which a high level of culture, science, industry, and government has been reached. However, my knowledge on slavery was expanded, because I never knew about the Chattel slavery, and the fact that black people were enslaved by black people. ]]> 2016-11-17 16:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/138469533 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/138581009 2016-11-17 22:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/138581009 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/138612897 2016-11-18 05:25:21 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/138612897 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/138613083 2016-11-18 05:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/138613083 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139114230 "This story speaks of a Rastafarian man (Darren) who uses his plot of land to plant and harvest marijuana for sale.

The struggles and transitions of growing produce for the slave masters .The way the slaved learned to communicate and build their culture.

Even the foods that we eat today like pepperpot, saltfish, roti were all passed down from our Caribbean ancestors through very prudent creations and intelligence. The Caribbean has been resourceful ever since and very diverse with its people living within its boarders and throughout the Diaspora. I've also learnt that cultural practices and traditions established in colonial and post colonial days still plays a vital part in maintaining the Caribbean identity today, influencing the way how Caribbean nationals live their lives. Caribbean Indentureship systems provided benefits and threats to the places where these groups settled, including the Chinese and Indians. One such benefit is that their migration brought an increase in population especially in islands such as Trinidad which means labour supplies increase and work continued, allowing the plantation workers to survive. Another benefit is that, it adds to the diversity of Caribbean indigenous people living in the Caribbean today. However one threat these system brought which was very impacting was competition. These group of people competed with the ones who settled their before them for their lands and properties.

When the queen was near to passing the law in order to abolish slavery in 1807, thus making the buying and selling of slaves from Africa illegal, they introduced Indentureship in 1806 when the abolishment of slavery was still pending. It was not until the 1st of August 1834 that slavery officially ended in the British Caribbean.

In the past women were only suppose to carry out certain assigned tasks that were expected of them and many people still live by that mindset. For example, In the past females were expected to take care of the home, sew, gather fruits and such delicate acts, whereas, males were expected to go out to hunt and fish in order to feed their families.  Much like today, a woman is seen as the caretaker for the children, the "stay at home mom" or house wife, however, men are expected to go out and earn money for his home and to feed his family. Many may say they are not the same, but the mindset of the past is still very prominent today. It even goes as far as many jobs in today's society are linked to a gender, much like those of the Neo-Indians. Delicate jobs like Nail/Hair technicians, Caretakers, Nurses, etc... are seen as feminine jobs. While, more technical or course jobs such as construction working, doctors, fishing etc... are seen as masculine jobs. Peoples are often looked at funny if they go outside of their "gender linked jobs.]]> 2016-11-22 02:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139247780 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139260126 2016-11-22 05:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139260126 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139260129 The indentureship that I have chosen is the immigration scheme. The opportunities that women had to face when working under the Immigration scheme is: Rice industries, Cocoa industries and the cultivating of cane and selling them were benefits. While, a threat is there was the hope that immigration would generate competition for the ex-slaves while helping to keep wages down. Ex-slaves demanded adequate remuneration, but the planters realized that they could suppress wages if they could introduce cheap, foreign labour. In essence, this would reduce the demand for the ex-slaves. Simply because if the ex-slaves refused the payment that was being offered, an immigrant would be very willing and capable to fill the position instead.]]> 2016-11-22 05:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139260129 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139689448 When I think of the term civilized, I would say it varies from culture to culture and what has been the practice in a particular region. It is the practices of what one country or region may accept as the norm or standard, as referred to by Dr. John Campbell lecture one.  For example, comparing the Caribbean region which I am a part of, and the Asian eating customs, one from the Caribbean may say that the eating customs of Asians are uncivilized and Asians may very well claim the same. However, according to the norms, beliefs, practices, traditions and customs, those are key features to distinguish whether a person is civilized or uncivilized. ]]> 2016-11-24 03:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139689448 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139689965 2016-11-24 04:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139689965 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139689982 2016-11-24 04:04:34 UTC https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139689982 shamaragage https://padlet.com/shamaragage/cgvh7e4dktl8/wish/139690074 Below is a picture of goat water, a popular Caribbean dish and a fried Asian delicacy, grasshoppers.  Which is a "civilized" or "uncivilized" practice?

A big reason for this is because the previous inhabitants did not record their version of history. They left no records and wrote no books. NO WRITING = NO HISTORY.
