Many castes have been called untouchable, which subscribes to the social rule  that commands marriage exclusively within the caste community. Traditionally, the groups characterized as untouchable were people who worked on polluting activities, for example: (1) taking the life of animals for a living, for example, fishermen, (2) killing or disposing of dead cattle for a living, (3) practicing activities that included contact with emissions of the human body, such as feces, urine, sweat, and spittle such as sweepers and washer men, and (4) eating the flesh of cattle or of domestic pigs and chicken, a category into which many  indigenous tribes of India fell.

In general, the name was given to members of low-caste Hindu groups and people outside the caste system. The use of the term and the social disabilities associated with it were declared illegal in India in 1949 and Pakistan in 1953.

Untouchables were the people in society who were deemed as less than human. They were the people that cleaned up the streets, took care of dead bodies... They had to do what no one else in society wanted to do pretty much.

Based on your reading in the webtext, select one of the following thesis statements. Your response should be two to three paragr
patriot [66]

Answer and Explanation:

Revised statement: Despite the controversy surrounding the American government and their systematic exploitation of Native populations, ANCSA and the Native corporation system have created long-term favorable economic and financial impacts for Alaskan Natives.

The impact of this argument on the culture and history of the Native Alaskans is one of the arguments against the advantages of ANCSA. Although it can be argued that the ANCSA and Native Corporation have led to the cultural decline among-st the Alaskan indigenous population, it is also argued that the loss is the fault of the Alaska Natives themselves. An individual ethnicity is responsible for how it incorporates present and past cultures. While external sources may certainly be a part of a cultural collapse, it is important to stress that they are not solely responsible. Alaskan indigenous people are responsible for preserving the cultural identity and inspiring future generations to keep sharing this identity and to integrate it into modern life.

          On the other hand, ANCSA's policy and the Native Corporations program have discriminated against Native Alaskans ' education levels by creating jobs that are beyond their work and education, and allow Native people to be employed. Once, this claim against ANCSA is based on Native Alaskans ' obligation. With its grantees and the ability to create financial flexibility that did not exist before ANCSA, ANCSA has given several advanced education opportunities. Workplace discrimination is a topic that relates to the social responsibility to maintain an ethnic identity while seeking to assimilate into American ideals of education, especially in modern times when online post-secondary education allows for even more opportunities for younger and older generations alike to create work-oriented goals that rely on education.

Accordingly, 5.4 million dollars have been used since ANCSA came into effect for native students in scholarships, while Alaska Natives controls seven of the top ten Alaskan companies. Because of the structure of ANCSA, Alaska has economic and financial advantages. It is a personal choice how to use the ANCSA benefits. Always there are downsides to any program, but ANCSA is responsible for the economic stability most Alaskan indigenous people and non-indigenous people have today.
