English is the main language of communication used in the East Asia as a lingua franca in all types of international contacts. It is, hence, not surprising that the problem of appropriate teaching of English in schools, colleges, and institutions occupies not only the minds of professional tutors and young students’ parents, but also politicians who understand the importance of English in the world. The internationally recognized status of English as the major language of worldwide communication has been formed by a number of historical and economical factors, including colonization periods in East Asia and the international importance of ...

The diversity has always been a distinguishing cross-cutting feature of the whole mankind. Consequently, the modern world has always been a multicultural one since the dawn of times and it is absolutely impossible to establish particular borders between the cultures, as such phenomena as cross-cultural communication has existed during the whole timeline. On this point, it is important to mention that the emerging of any culture first of all depends on the location of its carriers. In other words, it strongly depends on the geographical matters. That is why such rapid cultural differentiation appeared, which has manifested, first of ...

Religion has been a topic of debate for centuries. Religion is, in fact, one of the main arenas for wars, and it has been since the beginning of times. When one speaks about religion, it is not only about the spiritual sphere of the person that indeed is important and a holistic approach to education; this sphere has to be promoted for it to develop. The spiritual sphere of the person relates, but it is not equivalent to religion. The reason why I am making this distinction is that, from a Christian perspective, the spiritual sphere of the person ...

Abstract

Jade has been an important part of Chinese culture since Ancient times, when it was used to make various weapons and tools. The reason for this is because it is believed to have positive powers.

This is why jade was used in burial rituals, sacrifices and other religious ceremonies. Nevertheless, despite the importance of jade to the Chinese culture for many centuries only the very wealthy were permitted to own ...

In the modern world, there has been a trend to redefine the terms and acceptability associated with sexuality. This is perhaps best explicated by the presence of modern-day laws that advertently protect sexuality that is known from the basic laws of nature to be ‘unnatural’. Humanity in the contemporary world has seemingly yet very certainly so, changed the whole concept of sexuality to suit the status quo of modern-day sexuality. Additionally, there is quite a lengthy array of sexual misconduct accorded to humankind by God through the Bible, and that has apparently become a mere ‘conjecture’ to the present ...

Literature

Summary and analysis of The Lamb by Blake Introduction “The Lamb” by William Blake originally published in Songs of Innocence in the year 1789. The Lamb is among the 19 poems in the Songs of Innocence, and is one of the most widely read poems in English language.

In the poem, “the lamb” shows innocence and purity (Cunningham, Reich, and Fichner-Rathus 589).

Blake starts his poem with a pastoral ...

The ideology of domesticity

The women played an important role in the ideology of domesticity. Domesticity is an act of living together in a family and a home. The home life started during the 1800s and it was a time when people considered that women should stay and work at home instead of going outside. The women were expected to perform different tasks at home for other family members. Later educating women through different manuals and conventions changed the concept of domesticity. The women started the feminist movement and were informed that both men and women have equal rights. The paper investigates that ...

The differences between the Christianity and Judaism lie in the differences of understanding, evaluation and apprehension of the Old Testament and the New Testament. To understand what happens then, we must first take into account the fact that, originally, the nascent Christian movement is fully Jewish. Jesus himself is Jewish. His disciples were Jewish. And all the great figures of the first Christian generation, Jacques, Peter, and Paul, to name a few, are Jews. Thus, the Christian movement was born and began to grow within Judaism. However, that Judaism was soon through a terrible crisis, caused by the destruction ...

What is God? How do we understand God? Should we praise God? All these questions were being posed by humanity countless times throughout history. And there indeed always were more answer than questions. Some said that God is omnipotent, transcendent entity, others told that God is the reason for everything, the third suggested that God watches all of us, rewards the good and punishes the bad. And that is only a tiny bit of the explanations offered by different individuals, teaching, and religions. Indeed, such variety may be troublesome because it makes the task of deciding the true explanation. ...

How apocalyptic beliefs influenced the first European voyages of exploration

Apocalyptic beliefs which influenced the European exploration voyages were based on the belief that apocalypse would happen somewhere in the west very soon. The belief that apocalypse would happen soon emanated from the various signs that the people had witnessed such as war and earthquake. This belief motivated the explorers to make explorations to other parts of the world where they would convert people and find Gold that would help in recapturing the city of Jerusalem before apocalypse (Knight of Columbus). The kind of training and education that Christopher Columbus received, and which prepared him for his voyages in ...

Writings on Hinduism have been remarkably expanded in the past decade by anthropological research which focuses on the real nature of religious practices, including the underlying philosophy, and examines the setting or environment as well as the written literature. Edward Harper, in his article Ritual Pollution as an Integrator of Caste and Religion (1964), vividly showed that the hierarchical relationship of the concepts of 'purity' and 'pollution', which are the foundational elements of caste, is based on a paradigm of society wherein different groups are brought together by the common pursuit of religion or rituals for the gods. The ...

Vodka

Background Introduction

Vodka remains one of the most consumed alcoholic drinks in the world despite undergoing multiple reinventions. The drink is distilled from vegetables or grain mash fermentation. From the high proof fermentation, the alcohol content is measured. A half percentage of alcohol can be measured by a single proof degree. From these metrics, percentages of alcohol content in a bottle can then be established. For example, 100 level proof has 50% alcohol, 90% proof has 45% alcohol, and the rest follows proportionally. Distilled vodka sometimes reaches proof of up to 145 high. At such levels, vodka is a neutral ...

Modernism created Post-Modernism and the emergence of these two influential art movements created a lasting impact on the artists’ perception of iconography. The history concerning modernism dates back in the Renaissance period since the majority of the artists at that time explored various kinds of iconography such as painting mythological creatures, portraiture, and humanism which contrasts the iconography of the Medieval period. But the lasting effects of the modern period were felt in the early 19th century up to the early phase of the 20th century.

Question 1

In the United States a man who intentionally has his penis and testicles cut off would be considered crazy by most people and in need of hormonal and psychological therapy by a small minority. Yet, though the hijras provoke ambivalence in many Indians, they are considered neither crazy nor candidates for therapeutic intervention. There are mythological and structural reasons for the reason. The removal of the penis and the testicles among the hijras makes you a goddess who has the capacity to bless and curse. In the book “Neither Man or Woman”, the hijra community members are not considered ...

Chinese medicine and Chinese philosophy act as a whole. And the name of this whole - Taoism, the way of the Tao.

Next wonderful parable illustrates this approach.

Literature and history are forms of self-reflection, self-expression of society, their main topic. Like in historical research much depends on the intuition of the historian, writers and literary critics at the unconscious level are capable of deep comprehension of life. Traditionally, researchers have turned to fiction only in the absence of more reliable sources. In studying the history of modern and contemporary time only an exemplary role was assigned to literature, but new directions of historical thought are changing attitude to the source. The artistic image, as a rule, is characterized by accuracy and persuasiveness; and it facilitates the ...

Background information

The need for clean water for use by humanity has since time immemorial been an area of concern with scientists and scholars inventing methods that prove to be more efficient than their predecessors. The ultimate goal has always been the removal of undesirable chemicals and pathogens that would, however, render the water unfit for human and industrial consumption. In today’s contemporary society, human activity has culminated into pollution of the natural environment including water catchment areas. This has therefore made water unfit for consumption thereby prompting for more cost-effective and efficient methods for purification of this natural resource. ...

Many works of nonfiction and fiction, including Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, have suggested that there is a link between the Knights Templar of the Middle Ages and Freemasonry as it exists today. While the majority of historians and researchers do not currently accept that this is the case, there are certain slight indications that might point in this direction. Certainly a number of Masons believe this might be the case. But to consider the possibility that there is a link between these two organizations requires understanding what occurred during the dissolution of the Knights Templar in the ...

Designed by Joseph Paxman in 1851 to accommodate the Great Exhibition that features the technological and cultural advancement from different parts of the world for the enjoyment of the English people (Phillips 14). The architecture of The Crystal Palace was dubbed as the “modern English” since the structure was an unusually simple and the lack of ornamentation, the unity, and functionality of the designs reinforce and stabilized the entire glass roofs and walls covering it and allowing the rays of the sunlight to penetrate within the building (Phillips 24-25).

The Effects of Post-Modernism on the ‘Raced Bodies’

Post-Modernism is the counterpart of the modernist ideals both in the philosophy and aesthetic preferences. Modernism existed before the beginning of the Second World War and this period primarily focused on the preservation of one’s culture through rejection of outside influences that might alter the cultural values. For instance, Sandler argued that there is a greater contrast between post-modernism and modernism in a sense that can be viewed from a philosophical point-of-view and aesthetic tastes. “Post-modernism has rejected modernism’s purity and has instead welcomed impurity” (Sandler 1980, p. 346). Another scholar named Irvine (2004/2014) also supported this ...

Jacques Louis David, The Death of Socrates, Oil on canvas, 51 x 77 ¼ in., 1787. David’s painting situates Socrates in the center of the painting, clad in a white robe, implying purity, surrounded by his followers as he reaches for his poisonous tonic of hemlock. His abdomen is vertically straight, his left leg is positioned on the ground while his right is above his bed—he appears to be in motion. This bodily position reflects Socrates’ proud demeanor to die as he lived: passionately discussing philosophy. David portrays Socrates as defiant in his confrontation with his impending mortality. ...

The concept of body purity features prominently in chapter 19 of Bede’s book. Pages 202 and 203 discuss in details Aethelthryth's virginity, therefore clearly showing the importance given to the purity of women during that period. She earned the respect of the Bishops because of her stand and when she later joined the Monastery, she was joining as a strong woman who could act as an example to other women. Elizabeth’s story also discusses the theme of purity in relation to Mary, especially in page 119. The main difference between Bede’s story of Aethelthryth and Elizabeth’ ...

The roles of the women during the medieval period were household based. Just like in the middle ages, the women were expected to be good wives and mothers to the children.

Unlike Aethelthryth, Elizabeth remained unmarried all her life. Elizabeth was a German Rhineland who got into the monastery when she was twelve years. She began to have visions in 1152 a time during which she was prone to depression ...

The society creates the various gender roles and as a result, with time, these roles are viewed as the appropriate behavior of a person. Learning and life experiences help develop gender roles.

According to Haraway, there is a strong link between natural sciences and the processes that give them birth, as natural sciences tend to be both historically and culturally oriented. Thus, the convergence of values is not surprising, in particular humanitarian values as well as those related to gender and dominance. It is worth noting that human cultural values are inextricably related to possibilities. Furthermore, it is reasonable to highlight the relations of animal and human, body and mind, nature and culture, as well as origin and future (Haraway 5). Primatology delves into the nature of a man along with ...

The Book of Amos

Introduction The Book of Amos is part of the group of twelve Minor Prophets in the Old Testament. The twelve Minor Prophets were not less significant than the Major Prophets. Their expressions of prophecies were just shorter than the longer and more detailed prophecies of the Major Prophecies (Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel) (Keathley, III, 2016, n.p). One could call Amos a pastoral prophet, since he was not in the courts of the kings and of priestly lineage (such as Jeremiah). He was a herdsman, and spent time caring for the sycamore trees as well (Amos 7:14). It is important ...

The most important features that a true woman had to possess in the 19th century society were purity, piety, submissiveness and domesticity (Welter).

She had to retain her purity till the very marriage, and after that she was obliged to accept the idea of having so close ...

In the past century, the world has changed past the point of recognition. Although globalization has arguably been occurring since the dawn of humanity, globalization has been occurring at a rate previously unseen; today, people move around the world more quickly and with greater ease than ever before. Along with this greater ease of travel and intercultural exchange came the need for a functional language that could operate as a global language of sorts. Because of a variety of sociopolitical factors and historical events, English seems to have become the frontrunner as the global business language. Many proponents of maintaining language purity suggest ...

CONTEXT AND COMPARISON OF

In reaction to the decadence and corruption so pervasive in the Roman Catholic Church, the Protestant Reformation sought to introduce an asceticism into the artistic world of its followers. Martin Luther, as well as others who followed him, advocated the destruction of art in churches, particularly images of saints, muted color schemes for the artwork that remained, and an emphasis on images either of Jesus or of contemporary leaders and heroes of the movement. Joseph Koerner’s book The Reformation of the Image (2004) compellingly shows how visual art became indispensable to a religious movement built on words. In a time ...

Ancient Mesopotamians led a brutal existence, rocked by a long history of war over the control of fertile river valleys, which in light of the arid land that surrounded the region, meant life and death. The socioeconomic structure that emerged, in part out of necessity, ensured that women assumed domestic roles, but over time, these translated into massive gender inequalities. This paper asserts that women in ancient times as well as today belong to a lower class and have not been acknowledged for their contributions to the building of those societies and have not been treated equally then or today in Mesopotamia ...
