Assignment 3: Journal article plan
Due Friday 6 November 2020
In this final assignment, you will prepare a journal article. You will have chosen a research
question for your journal article, developed a plan for your paper, selected your three
‘worlds’, and you will likely have collected your 15 academic sources.
Below are some instructions for this assignment:
• Your journal article should be at least 3,000 words in length.

• You are not ‘locked in’ to the sources that you have chosen i.e. you can swap some
out as you write if you find better or more relevant sources, or your argument changes
from what you had originally envisaged.
• Similarly, you are also not locked into the question you have selected. You may
change, but only in consultation with your tutor or myself.
• You should include your abstract at the start of your paper. You should use italics to
distinguish the abstract from the rest of the article.
• The abstract does not count toward the word limit.

• Your paper must have a bibliography attached. It does not have to include the
annotations you submitted for Assignment 2.
• It’s probably a good idea to read some undergraduate research journal articles to get a
sense to see how undergraduates in other universities and countries approach this sort
of exercise. There are many such journals in existence, but just to get you started I
ecommend the journal Reinvention which is housed at the University of Warwick in
the UK, and which I helped to run for around 8 years.
• Apart from reading the articles themselves, you should also take note of the section
Information for Authors. All journals have such a section, and they provide
instructions on the conventions that the journal expects all submissions to adhere to –
for instance, accepted citation styles, when to use Arabic numerals as opposed to
spelling out numbers, how to integrate graphs etc.. In publishing circles, this is known
as the ‘house style’. This is a useful exercise for students, because in your
professional lives you will inevitably have to prepare documents that will need to
adhere to this ‘house style’. You will find that any serious publisher will outright
eject any submission that does not adhere to their house style (just like how your
oss may ask you to just redo a document that ignores your company’s or institution’s
conventions
equirements).
• For the purposes of this assignment, you do not have to adhere to any journal’s house
style. Your formatting and polish will contribute to your final grade, however.
You will greatly improve your chances of doing well in this assignment if you also take heed

Introduction
	There is no doubt about the fact that people with different cultures, when come in contact with each other, shape the cultures of each other in one way or the other. Civilisations all the across the world have been under cultural and social development in the past because they were exposed to different civilisations having different cultural values altogether. Civilisation in simple words can be described as a process, which helps society or place reach in an advanced stage of social and cultural development. There is no doubt about the fact that civilisations are not created in vacuum, rather human involvement through different contact mediums has shaped the cultural landscape of almost all the places across this globe. Cultural landscapes of almost all the regions of the world were affected, influenced or shaped once they came into contact with individuals from a different cultural landscape altogether. Civilisations that have come up across different regions of the world reveal different aspects of the cultural orientations and thus tend to influence the cultural values of people they meet. Through this article, the shaping of Indian, Australian and African culture will be discussed after they encountered the European culture, as they become colonies of the European powers. 
Literature Review
Shaping of the Indian Culture
	The Indians met the British after the establishment of the “British Raj” in India in the year 1858 and this marked the beginning of the cultural influences, which British had on Indians and vice versa. As stated by Tranas (2010), the civilisations, which came up across different parts of the globe have had a huge influence on the culture of other civilisations across the globe once they came in contact with each other primarily because one civilisation invaded the other and colonised it. Colonisation is one of the primary reasons behind the cultures we see in the recent times. Western minds brought a number of changes to the Indian culture for instance the notion of masculinity became stronger in India under the rule of the British. Undoubtedly, the European culture played a major role in shaping the culture of different regions. 
The British invaded India and therefore, a contact was established between the people of the European civilisation and the Asian Civilisation. As stated by Ramachandran (2019), this contact led to a transnational flow of physical cultures. The culture of Western Europe brought in physical education, concepts of modernity and several dance forms and learned practices of physical fitness like yoga from the Indians. Several areas of the Indian physical education and modern dance were affected during the colonial period. Gender roles also began to change in the society because of the influence of the western culture on the Indian culture. Race relations and national identity can be thought of as a product of the cross-cultural contact. Racism became a common practice in India as British started to spread the roots of their European culture and therefore, started to shape the culture of India. 
Once the Indians came in direct contact with the British considerable number of significant changes were observed in the Indian culture. Some of the most noticeable changes were in the fashion sense of the people and the language they spoke (Griffiths, 2019). The impact of the western culture was so strong on the Indians that the civilisation was almost diffused and therefore, shaping the culture of India as it is today. People started to wear modern clothes as the British wore and therefore, their cultures began to evolve with their clothing habits. The language people spoke in India also began to be inclined towards the English language and more and more people started to learn English. The culture of the Britishers was also impacted by the Asian civilisation of the Indians. British started making use of Indian spices and their eating habits changed drastically. 
The arrival of the British to India and the establishment of the British Empire transformed the Indian culture by almost reshaping it. One of the prominent changes were noticed in the language spoken by the people. English language soon turned out to be the medium of cultural invasion. As mentioned by Gangurde (2020), the Britishers used this language as medium to de-culturize the people from their own culture so that the British can take the maximum advantage of it. Education system of India was also affected by the growing popularity of the English language in India. This language soon turned out to be the most spoken language in India and continued to be an essential part of the culture of India we see today. 
English language also turned out to be a reason of biasness then and continued to be the same even today. People, who knew English as a language and used it to communicate with others, were considered superior to the ones, who did not and this continues to be the practice of the Indian culture even today. Therefore, it can be said that English language turned out to be a status symbol in India and people started following the speeches in English to bring a change into their own culture. The influence of this language was soon seen on the different art forms and communication media in the country. British English language slowly turned out to be an integral part of the Indian culture and the same still reflects in the culture of the country. 
As Indians came in contact of the British during the rise of the British Empire in the 18th century India, a number of cultural and social changes were brought to India. As stated by Kumar (2013), social evils such as a rigid caste system, female infanticide, discrimination against women and many more started to deepen their roots into the Indian culture. Discrimination in the education system was also clearly visible at that time.
