Abstract
This paper discusses Patrice Lumumba, born in July 1925, who had a significant impact on Congolese independence and was the first elected Prime Minister of the newly independent nation of Congo. The paper looks at Lumumba's role in the liberation of the Congo from Belgian colonization. Additionally, the paper highlights the controversy surrounding Lumumba and his death.
From the Paper
"Lumumba was known for his brutal honesty. This ultimately would lead him to his rapid downfall. The infamous speech that he delivered at the official Congo Independence Day Ceremony on June 30 1960 proved to be a major catalyst for his demise. The speech contained inflammatory language that angered Belgian officials including the King himself. "Lumumba's determination was inflexible. No one on Earth could have stopped him that day from making his speech at that solemn session when independence was proclaimed" (Kanza 154). Lumumba felt he was not being treated as the Prime Minister of a nation should be treated by the Belgians. This enraged him, and when it came time for his speech, Lumumba refused to hold back his true feelings. The Belgian government officials would find that they had underestimated Lumumba's courage and determination."

Abstract
Cultural issues usually surface in a multicultural society like that of America?s because co-existence of people from various different ethnic backgrounds can lead to undesired and unexpected conflicts. The paper shows that these issues have also become important for those not living in a multicultural society because of the fact that world is rapidly turning into a global village. The closer the people of the world come, the more cultural issues they are likely to encounter. The paper discusses that for this reason, it is important to study the reasons why cultural clashes take place and find out how cultural differences affect our perceptions. The authors of the texts chosen for this paper have, according to the writer of the paper, skillfully and appropriately highlighted these issues. The texts analyzed are: Malidoma Patrice Some?s book "The Healing Wisdom of Africa" which highlights the cultural differences that exist between African tribes and American society; the book, "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down" by Anne Fadiman, which focuses on the challenges faced by immigrants residing in America; Stanley Grenz's "A Primer on Postmodernism" and the movie "Remember the Titans".
From the Paper
"While reading these texts and watching this exceptional movie, one wonders if cultural clashes arise only because of racial and ethnic differences. Stanley Grenz has an answer. He believes that world also encounters cultural problems as it progresses and enters new technologically and industrially advanced times. This means that when philosophy, art, literature, television and almost everything else changes and incorporates new values, theology and religious doctrines may clash with the new world views."

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the views presented in two works and then presents the personal opinions of the writer of this paper as to which work seems the most logical. The two books are Napoleon Chagnon's classic "Yanomamo: The Fierce People", which describes the culture of the Yanomamo and the conflict and the aggression that Chagnon states were common behaviors of the Yanomamo people. The other work is "Darkness in El Dorado" by author Patric Tierney and it argues that Chagnon's portrayal of the Yanomamo is completely erroneous and - worse - fabricated by Chagnon himself.
