Essays on Tradition

Le Prix du pardon forms the base in a book that was written by Mbissane Ngome, who, with similar characteristics to Wade, forms the coast of Senegal, where the background of the story is set. The Story of Ngome relies on an oral narrative tradition that the people with whom he is related to and Le Prix du pardon have similarities to this (Groof 200). Due to the respect he had for his oral tradition, Wade decided to be a narrator accompanied by everyday functions and all the supernatural events. This visual technique that Wade employs, as a feature ...

Introduction

In The Anxious World of the Slaveowning Patriarch and The Effects of Paternalism Among Whites and Blacks, written by Kathleen Brown and Philip Morgan respectively, it was put forward that the patriarchal authority was as a necessary element in maintaining the slavery institution. The patriarchal society was a tradition that was brought forth by the European colonizers, and this system has been the basis by which to impose the code of practice, not only in the family, but also in the societal, political and legal institutions in Virginia during that time. In her essay, Brown denotes that the master’ ...

The theme of Tradition change in “The Lottery” and “The Destructors."

Change in traditions is a topic that both Shirley Jackson's The Lottery and Graham Greene’s The Destructors. Although written in different historical times and using different settings to pass the messages, the two short stories share a common theme of change. While Greene creates his chief antagonist in T (Trevor), who is determined to destroy the only house that reminisces tradition in London after the bomb attack, Jackson uses the event of a village lottery to indicate the changing society, but barbarism is persisting. In both stories, the theme of tradition erosion is presented to the audience. The ...

Many people agree that the period of chivalry was probably the most interesting and fascinating. The word chivalry is mainly associated with knights and is usually described as institution of knighthood. It is also believed that chivalry presupposes such traits as courtesy, valor and generosity. It also presupposes helping the weak (such as women and children). It is clear that nowadays the concept of chivalry has become archaic. However, its examples may be still found in fiction and in modern life. For example, William Faulkner in his work “A Rose for Emily” and James Joyce in his work “Araby” ...

The eighth and ninth Byzantium was one of the most unfortunate in the history of art and architecture. The growth of art and architecture was partially stunted due to the desire to attain political correctness. In that period, political correctness meant following the edicts issued by the emperor. During that time, the emperor issued an edict banning the use of icons. One of the icons that would have drawn a lot of controversy in the eighth and ninth-century Byzantium is the icon of the Virgin and Child Enthroned between Saints and Angels. The Icon is found in the Monastery ...

Introduction

The commencement and ending of Homer’s epic poem the Iliad depict a rational existence of humans before and after the interference of the immortal beings respectively. The middle passages are different as they present a palpable yet gradual build up of human emotions that warrant an alliance with the gods and goddesses in the text. In turn, a paradox emerges in the depiction of the relationships between the mortals and the immortals in the Homeric poem: the gods are necessary for Homer’s presentation of the humans, but they are also to blame for the unstable attitudes and ...

We first hear Symphonie Espagnole during the introduction to the Cantor, and the relationship he has with his son, Jakie. The Cantor laments his son’s absence on the Day of Atonement as he prays for Jakie to return and sing Kol Nidre, which is traditionally sung in Jewish synagogues on the Day of Atonement. The dense string arrangements here are heavy with longing and further exacerbated as the Cantor finds out Jakie has been seen singing ragtime songs at a local bar. In this entire sequence, Symphonie Espagnole accompanies this friction between the Cantor and Jakie. These two ...

The argument for subjecting students to virginity tests is based on the desire to maintain a particular normative behavior. In consideration of this idea it seems evident that pursuing legislation that would focus on such ends would indeed be a profound violation of personal liberties. For this reason, if a similar proposal had been made in the Singapore Parliament today, I would not have supported this proposal. The proposal is a violation of basic human rights. The individual rights that should be ensured for people in society dictate that this would not be the best course of action to ...

Introduction

Social control theories emerged in the early 1900s which questioned why not all humans commit crimes. Unlike the criminology theories that examine why an individual commits criminal activity, the social control theories focus on how certain individuals refrain from it. There were several notable sociologists who expressed their ideas on how the society and its traditions can ensure that an individual will conform to a law-abiding lifestyle. They identified two types of controls in their theories. Informal and formal control. The informal control mechanisms are family, friends, or their individual social circles. The formal control is from the Government ...

Abstract:

St. Elizabeth of Hungary School is a Catholic run academic institution established on September 12, 1958 in Texas. At its inception, the school had a population of 27 students.

Every culture has traits, but each culture would express those traits differently. There are 18 traits in total. Some of them can be grouped together, and others are very complex by themselves. The United States is unique in its cultural expression because of its multiculturalism, but it still has its own traditions as well. First of all, every culture has belief systems. These beliefs are shaped up by the morals and values that people share. Values are taught to people through major religions that rule a specific country. The predominant religion in the US is Christianity, which is monotheistic ( ...

Describe the historical, religious, and financial significances of arranged marriage in the three main East Asian countries.

China. Arranged marriage in China used to be conducted on the principles of Confucianism. According to it, one should have married the person with another surname to close the connections between the community couple lived in. In addition, the parents of a bride or groom could arrange the marriage considering the wealth and the social status of the partner. Many unmarried people were not acquainted till the day of the marriage. ‘Three Letters and Six Etiquettes’ was the tradition kept for a long time in order to conduct a marriage. (Groom’s parents went to parents of a bride, ...

Different cultures have different ways of defining what they consider heroic. For example, in the 2016 campaign for the Democratic nomination for President in the United States, one candidate who has emerged as a hero for the Left is Bernie Sanders. His followers tend to praise his refusal to accept donations from corporations or to have anyone set up one of the gargantuan political action committees (called SuperPACs) that raise millions of dollars in money. They also tend to praise the fact that he has not changed many of his positions on matters of social justice, in an era ...

“One saying: the techniquereproduced object domain of tradition. By making for a unique existence. And in permitting object reproduced Benjamin is saying that reproductions reduce the integrity of the art because the product is no longer authentic. It seems to him that an object is only unique and interesting in its singularity and once it becomes too easy to obtain then it loses its allure. For example, the Mona Lisa it is considered by many to be a great piece of art and there is only one. Which makes it intriguing. Now if the look the woman had was ...

According to Seattle University’s website, the university offers numerous degree programs in many areas common to most higher education institutions; such as business, mathematics, education, science, etc. Emphasis within these broad subjects is also common to many other colleges and universities and include international, global, and national interests.

The university dedicates a page on its website focusing on the “Jesuit tradition.” Education at this university has the “Jesuit tradition” weaved into every course offered and makes earning an education at this institution very unique.

The United States has a secret competitive advantage over most other nation. The advantage, however, is not one that normally comes to mind in the public or is a focus of attention of the media or politicians. The advantage is that the U.S. attracts the largest number of immigrants in the world, and it has been doing so since its founding. Indeed, since the late 1700s, over 55 million people have immigrated to the U.S. and made it their home (ACLU). To be sure, except for the Native Americans, every other U.S. citizen is either an immigrant or a ...

What did you perceive to be the main concepts presented in the book Orbiting the Giant Hairball?

The concepts of the book concentrate around the critical points that kill creativity and innovation and what it might take a leader to achieve innovation. Among the concepts therein include the need for conformity in schools, corporate normalcy and traditional models (MacKenzie, 1996). The need for conformity in schools is branded as creative games in education whereby the most kids in the institutions are forced to conform; thereby killing their innovativeness. In corporate normalcy, the article implicates a top-down command which leaves no room for creativity of the employees. In addition, the article also denotes the negative side of ...

I. Introduction When Great Britain and Spain set out to colonize other regions, they both have goals that they wanted to accomplish in their conquest. The idea of taking over of other regions, considerably differ with each colonizer, but their goals were defended on the presumption that they wanted to civilize other places that they considered to have yet to experience the European progress. While the advancement of the Christian faith was said to figure prominently in Spain’s conquest, the Great Britain was said to have set its eye on seeking out better settlement. However, most historians claimed ...

Different characteristics of living in the "fortress" that are discussed Counseling Military Families by Lynn K. Hall

The main characteristics of life of a military couple are frequent separations from relatives, geographical relocations, total dedication to the proposed mission of the county, early retirement, ability of the whole family to adjust to changes rapidly, feeling of detachment from the society and others. (Hall, 2008) While examining the military society, it becomes vivid that this group of people should be characterized as the warrior society, which has own rules and regulations of life. Living in the ‘Fortress’ represents the most frequent issues people face living with a military. The everyday life of a military family requires the ...

All over the world, we celebrate Valentine’s Day to celebrate the presence of romantic love in our lives. This is the day we buy gifts for our beloved partner to show how much we love and appreciate them. While this is a happy occasion for most of us, single people feel left out. There is no day to celebrate being single. This might be true for the rest of the world but not China. In China, there is a day dedicated to people who are single. Singles Day was first celebrated by students at Nanjing University in 1993 ...

Critical Analysis: Comparison of Arguments

The crisis affecting universities is a subject of earnest debate among academics and education theorists, as also social science researchers. Two outstanding articles on this subject were authored in 2012, one by Jeffrey J. Williams, “Deconstructing Academe: The Birth of Critical University Studies,” and the other by Hanke and Hearn, “Introduction: Out of the Ruins, the University to Come.” In outlook and response both are alike, but they differ in critical style and treatment. Both sets of authors agree that the “new global university,” which panders to the needs of global finance and neoliberalism, is a far cry from ...

Mysticism in religion has a long tradition that dates back to the early shamanism and continues existing and developing for centuries in different cultures. All of the mystical paths have something in common, but still it is difficult to choose one, because there is no easy path to achieve the aim of mystical experience – reaching the gap between the conscious and the divine and finding the heaven on Earth. Every religious path has similar features with the other paths, and I find some elements and ideas in each of them appealing and interesting. Still, the one I found the ...

Spirituality and religion are two concepts that most people would probably use interchangeably. From a personal perspective, however, these two concepts stand for two different things. For me, religion is an expression that signifies a tradition that is linked to our spirituality while spirituality is an innate aspect that signifies our faith. When our spirituality is expressed through tradition, like feasts or certain practices, we are living according to a specific religion. On the contrary, spirituality doesn’t necessarily require religion. Personally, as a Christian, my spirituality defines my whole being. My decision in life, ...

Religion and all its embodiments is one of the most widespread movements in the world since time immemorial. At times, it unites people as nothing else and gives us will and power to be merciful, kind and spiritually oriented. Among all the innumerable religious groups, I choose to stick to Druze, as it merges together the features of different traditions and opens a road to being a comprehensive human being. Apart from being a name for the religion, Druze is also a name of people in the Middle East, which has “has a unique historical, social and demographic structure” ( ...

Public Organizations

Public Organizations Governmental or public organizations and the people in them are greatly affected by the developments that occur in the governmental and political context where they operate.

Public citizens rely on the services provided by public organizations, making such services crucial.

The governments of different countries try to improve their government agencies’ performance and management by employing a pattern of “organizing, reorganizing, reforming, and striving” (Rainey, 2014, p.4).

The organization and management of public organizations are greatly influenced by political processes and authorities, laws, and constitutional provisions.

The management of public and private organizations is very different from each other. The study of organizational behavior originated from social and industrial psychology. It focuses on the behaviors of groups and individuals in organizations and analyzes the behaviors and attitudes of organizational members, ...

While researching texts written about Indian ritual tradition, I found a few articles which state the difference between the public rituals detailed in the Veda (called “shrauta’) and many other ritual practices in Hinduism. Shrauta tradition is based on the Vedas, and attaches great importance to ritual practices, which mostly consist of Yajna. Yajna are divided into two categories: Nitya-karma, Kama chi, Nitya-karma - these are the Yajna to be carried out every day or on special occasions. Kama-chi is a form of Yajna are committed with a purpose - rainmaking, multiply the number of cattle, gaining a high ...

Documentary photography is often used as a synonym for photojournalism, and the documentarians are seen as a different species of the photographer. The idea of a film with a purpose and documentary character can be traced back to France (What Is Documentary Photography 2013). Documents were seen as a form of evidence to teach something or inform. However, even the most abstract photographic images carry an image. It is when a photograph is taken with the lens cap on to create a document of worth; one reaches an entirely different platform. Alfred Stieglitz and his photograph Steerage of 1907 ...

Religion is one of the most important facets of the human experience. Throughout the world, considering different areas of space and moments of time, different cultures have worshiped deities in one form or another. This usually includes the active adoration of these gods, for which a certain locational frame is typically rendered especially suitable. Thomas A. Tweed, in his essay “Space” seeks to examine the nature and characteristics of religious space. In it, he proposes that these spaces are a dialectical construction between the pious and the physical location. In order to define space, he uses five different characteristics: ...

Shrauta is a conservative ritualistic tradition in the Vedic religion, which is based on the sacred scriptures of Shruti. Shrauta is still practiced nowadays in some places in India, though it appears a somewhat scanty tendency in modern Hinduism. In Hinduism practice, shrauta represents a special Vedic immolations. These immolations proved quite enormous and exceeded the domestic immolations of Grihya-sutra in terms of scales. In substance, this conservative tendency holds the recitations of the Shrauta rituals, which were considered to go back to Shruti and have the character of collective feasts. With that, the Shrauta rituals are quite different ...

Although established in ...

The poem “The Race” by Sharon Olds and “In the Desert” by Stephen Crane are the poems chosen for the poetic analysis. The first one is a blank verse that in details describes the thoughts of the main hero, the second stands out as a perfectly concise dialogue, which encourages own independent self-analysis. They are unified with the similar topic, which depicts the importance of human soul and neglects everything material. Nevertheless, there are also a lot of differences in poetic form, linguistic and stylistic devices chosen. For sure, some of them are predetermined by the time when the ...

It is impossible to avoid those racy headlines or steamy news in the newspapers or television about a person or group of persons or a certain condition or situation that is a threat to societal values. The mass media has always played an important role in shaping the society and its views. The term “moral panic" was coined by Stanley Cohen in 1971 to illustrate responses of the public and media to the disturbances in the society. According to Cohen, those elements that deviated away from the core values of law abiding ...

The world had always been full of different religious beliefs, because there is probably no universal explanation of the origins of human creation. Since the ancient times, we all needed a symbol of faith and of the existence of the judge, who sees everything, thus, is always eager to price, or to punish. Depending to the extent to which we’ve followed his commandments. The two religions: Islam and Christianity are highly different, and their followers are people, whose worldview differs from the other. It makes the two different religions mystically connected, and creates a view of the existence ...

There are two ways in which a person might find themselves thrust into a great tradition of thought and philosophy – one, by accepting the basic ideas or propositions, and the two, by refuting them and breaking away. Admittedly, traditions that break away successfully amount to new traditions in and of themselves, but their roots are still in the past and this fact should not easily be forgotten. This description of breaks and recreation aptly describes the relationship between the Aristotelian tradition and Galileo Galilei’s scientific breakthroughs in the seventeenth century. This paper will attempt to trace the scientific ...

Traditionally, accounting standards have been developed by different countries on the basis of local legal, economical and cultural institutions frameworks (Elliott and Elliott, 2009, p. 158). As a result, the standard setting was very country specific. With the globalization process at work for the last 3-4 decades and increasing mobility of capital internationally accepted accounting standards have become necessary to facilitate cross border transactions and make financial reporting comparable between countries and companies thereby leading to a greater transparency for investors (Nobes, 2004). IASB has been set up as a private international standard setter with a mandate to create high quality accounting standards ...

In Christian theology, the term pneumatology has a somewhat different meaning, the study of the Holy Spirit. This includes studying the Holy Spirit as a person as well as the works of the Spirit.

Interrelation of Jerusalem and Mecca and of the Temple and the Ka‘ba in medieval Islam

Jerusalem and Mecca are two most renowned holy cities worldwide. Conspicuously, an enormous quantity of writing and scholarly treaties has been written about both cities.
