Balinese caste system. The Balinese caste system is a system of social organization similar to the Indian caste system.
However, India's caste system is far more complicated than Bali's, and there are only four Balinese castes. The four castes of Bali are: Shudras - peasants making up more than 90% of Bali's population. They constitute close to 93% of the population.[1]Wesias (Vaishyas) - the caste of merchants and administrative officialsKsatrias (Kshatriyas) - the warrior caste, it also included some nobility and kingsBrahmins - holy men and priests The members of the four castes use different dialects of the Balinese language to address members of a different caste. Nowadays, the caste system is used more in religious settings where the members of the lower caste would ask the members of the Brahman caste (the Pedandas) to conduct ceremonies. Most of the Kshatriya families in Java and Bali became extinct during the fall of the Majapahit and the numerous Javanese wars.
See also[edit] References[edit] History of Barbed Wire or the Thorny Fence. Life in the American West was reshaped by a series of patents for a simple tool - barbed wire - that helped ranchers tame the land.
Patents for improvements to wire fencing were granted by the U.S. Patent Office, beginning with Michael Kelly in November 1868 and ending with Joseph Glidden in November 1874, that shape the history of this tool. Thorny Fence Vs Wild West The swift emergence of this highly effective tool as the favored fencing method changed life in the wild west as dramatically as the rifle, six-shooter, telegraph, windmill, and locomotive.
Without fencing, livestock grazed freely, competing for fodder and water. Before barbed wire, the lack of effective fencing limited farming and ranching practices, and the number of people who could settle in an area. Why Use Wire? Wooden fences were costly and difficult to acquire on the prairie and plains, where few trees grew. Likewise, rocks for stone walls were scarce on the plains.

Mondragon cooperatives operate in accordance with Statement on the Co-operative Identity maintained by the International Co-operative Alliance.
History[edit] The determining factor in the creation of the Mondragon system was the arrival in 1941 of a young Catholic priest José María Arizmendiarrieta in Mondragón, a town with a population of 7,000 that had not yet recovered from the Spanish Civil War: poverty, hunger, exile and tension.[2] In 1943, Arizmendiarrieta established a technical college that became a training ground for generations of managers, engineers and skilled labour for local companies, and primarily for the co-operatives.[3] Before creating the first co-operative, Arizmendiarrieta spent a number of years educating young people about a form of humanism based on solidarity and participation, in harmony with Catholic Social Teaching, and the importance of acquiring the necessary technical knowledge.
