...Turner chptr 2 Turner's rituals are the role played by liminality, structure, and communitas. Ritual serves, for Turner, the function of balancing structure and communitas. The individuals participating in the rituals are, temporarily, outside of the normal social structure, and thus, are in a liminal state. The initiate is first stripped of the social status that he or she possessed before the ritual, inducted into the liminal period of transition, and finally given his or her new status and reassimilated into society. He focuses entirely on the middle stage of rites of passage—the transitional or liminal stage. He notes, “The subject of passage ritual is, in the liminal period, structurally, if not physically, ‘invisible’”. That is, the status of liminal individuals is socially and structurally ambiguous. He develops this idea further in a concise definition of liminality that will inform his future writings: “Liminality may perhaps be regarded as the Nay to all positive structural assertions, but as in some sense the source of them all, and, more than that, as a realm of pure possibility whence novel configurations of ideas and relations may arise”. Turner also points out, that liminal individuals are polluting, and thus dangerous, to those who have not gone through the liminal period. In addition, liminal individuals have nothing: “no status, insignia, secular clothing, rank, kinship position, nothing to demarcate them structurally from their fellows”. The group of liminal...

...Chapter One: A Tented Camp, Floriculture and a visit to Elsamere. A washboard dirt road skims the outline of Lake Naivasha as we make our way to a safari camp about a half-hour?s drive from the town of Naivasha. Mostly South African and Dutch consortiums own the flower farms we pass enroute; staked out along the sizable lake?s edge these purported farms have replaced some of the colonial homes that at the turn of the 20th century made Naivasha infamous, at least in England. In place of the campy rambling stone homes of the early British settlers, crude wooden shanties line the pitted road, and some of the farm workers stop us as we drive by the last of the shanty villages. A crowd gathers around the car. ?Mzungu, give me money,? a twiglike man says as he slams his fist on the hood of our Land Rover. With me is my friend, Peggy, a documentary film maker whom I met when she was working on a project about the Civil War. At the request of the producer, Ken Burns, pint-sized, golden-haired Peggy hand-carried a life-size cutout of President Abraham Lincoln on an Amtrak train from New York City to Washington, D.C. Cardboard Lincoln was to serve as a stand-in for a proposed scene in Washington. Before returning to New York, Abe accompanied Peggy to a...

...In Suzanne Collins’ book The Hunger Games, there are many aspects of Foster’s How to Read Literature like a Professor, but the chapter it most relates to is Chapter 2: Nice to Eat With You: Acts of Communion. Throughout The Hunger Games, there are multiple detailed and important meal scenes. They’re not just meals. They’re symbols of survival, desperation, need, and life or death. The very first meal we come across is very very symbolic. Katniss’s sister, Prim leaves Katniss a small goat cheese wrapped in basil leaves. This is symbolic because she leaves it as a good luck gift on reaping day. Katniss doesn’t see it as a very symbolic or important gesture, because she doesn’t realize how her life will change in just a few short hours. After Katniss volunteers to be District 12’s tribute, on her way to the capital, they get delicious rich foods, in an abundance they’ve never experienced. During this meal, Effie Trinket is very impressed by their manners and etiquette, and Katniss is quite taken aback that she would think they wouldn’t have manners. Both of the meals mentioned in the beginning of the book symbolize the differences in the lives of the capital versus the lives of the District...

...Cheryl Fahrenholz throughout chapter 2 discusses various laws and acts that govern electronic health records as well as key point related to the documentation of patient records. I picked five that I believe are the most important. clinical documentation and health records, derived data, release of information, legal health records and health insurance portability and accountability act. Clinical documentation and health records are of vital importance to the success rate of any clinical faciality. Health records of patients provide medical professionals with past medical issues, diagnoses, allergic reactions and past family history. Providing all clinical staff with huge packets of information that with proper observation can lead to more precise treatment. This is beneficial for Emergency Room visits providing information for the doctor that the patient may not be able to communicate with any of the staff. It also provides a full range of every aspect of a patient stay in the hospital. This way if something was done incorrectly, or the patient has concerns, everything is fully documented. This protects not only the patient but the hospital and staff as well. Derived data is the summarization of a patients stay, giving insight into what was done to them without providing specific...

...ponder, and consider not just what the author is saying, but it also forces the reader to look at their own lives, and correlate it, with the context of the message intended in this book. Every reader, will no doubt as the question, how can I learn more of God, in order to glorify God more? Rankin does a great job of pushing his readers to the point of questioning, which is good, provided the questioning doesn’t go unanswered. One has to thank God for people of God such as Rankin, because he allowed God to use him mightily and bring to God’s people, and anyone else that reads this book – power! I say this because throughout the book he shares examples, and scriptures to reinforce the fact that God wants his people to survive the onslaught. 2 Cor. 2:11 says, “So that we may not be taken advantage of by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his intentions.” How big is that? How helpful this information for those believer that have chosen to stand up and fight? This book provides valuable information that believer can use to survive in this battle. In fact, as Rankin pointed out Satan’s nature, his tactics, and most effective weapon, he is empowering his readers. On another note, the author talks about people that are lost, and follow false ways, are still responsible for accepting the truth that leads to salvation. He writes, “Those who do not know Christ will be judged because of their rejection of the truth and embracing that which has deluded generations. For hundreds of years people...

...Chapter two of Atlantic Canada A History covers the life of Aboriginal people in the Atlantic region from 1500-1860. The aboriginal people needed to be very resourceful, they would use everything they could from the animals that they killed. They used bones, skin, brains and even tendons from moose and other animals to craft tools and make clothing in order to survive. Before the Europeans arrived the Aboriginals relied solely on the environment to survive. Up until the early nineteenth century the Europeans refused to refer to the aboriginal by their preferred name. The would often refer to them as “Indians”, “savages”, “natives” and other terms. Most Europeans did not have a lot of respect for the pre-contact people. The Mi’kmaq people traded...

...Valley of ashes- The beginning of Chapter 2 illustrates the setting between West Egg and New York City as a valley of ashes where everything is described as devoid of color, withering, and lethargic. It symbolizes social and moral decay from the failed American dream, whereas the rich treat themselves without second thought of the inhibited pursuit of wealth. It represents the condition of the poor such the Wilsons, who must live between dirty ashes. Eyes of T.J. Eckleberg- Doctor T. J. Eckleburg’s dull eyes are painted on an old advertising billboard over the valley of ashes. They symbolize God staring down at the moral wasteland of the American society, judging upon the emptiness of the dreams of the world. As the meaning of the eyes are left very vague, it gives them an unsettle nature and mystery....

...Chapter 1 Summary Creswell (2013), in his book Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design begins the first chapter with an introduction to qualitative research and the purpose for writing the text. He states his primary purpose for writing the book is “to examine five different approaches to qualitative inquiry – narrative, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case studies – and put them side-by-side so that we can see their differences” (p. 2). As a result, the text differs from other books on qualitative research, which normally begin with a single approach to qualitative inquiry. Creswell’s (2013) rationale for this is so reader can have a greater understanding of each of the approaches, how they apply to the research process, and the differences and similarities between each approach. This particular edition is the third edition of the text. As a result, Creswell (2013) made a number of changes from previous editions. For instance, the information on philosophical assumptions has been reworked in chapter two, and ethical dilemmas are in various phases of research are addressed in chapter three. Additionally, chapter four has a section added addressing the area of “defining characteristics” while chapter five had some changes in illustrations used (p. 3). Portions of the book were simplified, and the matter of technological advances in research have also been addressed. Lastly, thought provoking exercises where added at the end of each chapter, and references...

...History Final Part 1: 1. Before civilizations could emerge there had to be proper means of food that the people of the early ages could survive on. Agriculture was an important factor in the growth of civilizations and so was the domestication of animals to provide not only food but also clothing, tools, needs, or accessories people needed during the early stages of the establishment of civilization. Chapter 2 of “A History of World Societies” talks about the need for written communication whether it be pictures, symbols, codes, or actual words. A civilization also needs rules and laws to obey by in order to create a stable surviving civilization. A good example of an emergence of a civilization is the emergence of China during the Shang...

...Part 11, chapter 1 Summary: Chapter I At work one morning, Winston walks toward the men’s room and notices the dark-haired girl with her arm in a sling. She falls, and when Winston helps her up, she passes him a note that reads, “I love you.” Winston tries desperately to figure out the note’s meaning. He has long suspected that the dark-haired girl is a political spy monitoring his behavior, but now she claims to love him. Before Winston can fully comprehend this development, Parsons interrupts him with talk about his preparations for Hate Week. The note from the dark-haired girl makes Winston feel a sudden, powerful desire to live. After several days of nervous tension during which he does not speak to her, Winston manages to sit at the same lunchroom table as the girl. They look down as they converse to avoid being noticed, and plan a meeting in Victory Square where they will be able to hide from the telescreens amid the movement of the crowds. They meet in the square and witness a convoy of Eurasian prisoners being tormented by a venomous crowd. The girl gives Winston directions to a place where they can have their tryst, instructing him to take a train from Paddington Station to the countryside. They manage to hold hands briefly, in which time Winston “learned every detail of her hand”, but dare not look into each other’s eyes. Character details: Winston: * revealed to still experience moments of empathy, despite his thought that the girl may be an enemy, he...

...obligation to provide ANH to patients. However, ERD 58 does not require the use of ANH for patients in which the burdens of its use outweigh the benefits (Panicola et al., 2011, p. 296). Another notable change to ERD 58 is that its terminology is less abstract than previous versions. Now, ERD 58 states, ANH becomes “morally optional when [it] cannot reasonably be expected to prolong life” (Panicola et al., 2011, p. 297). Essentially, ERD 58 continues the Catholic tradition which stipulates we have a moral obligation to preserve life; however, this obligation is not absolute. The final determination remains a consideration of the benefits and burdens of treatment in relation to the person’s entire situation. (Panicola et al., 2011, p. 298) Chapter 11 Question One Although some argue for the legalization of physician-assisted suicide or euthanasia to prevent suffering related to poor symptom control during the end-of-life; others suggest that physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia are unnecessary to meet the demands of dying patients. Opponents of the legalization of physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia suggest our healthcare system needs to be improved to better meet the physical, social, emotional, and spiritual needs of the dying patient. Through better meeting these needs we can provide more efficient and humane care. The argument is that providing improved care will eliminate the feeling that many patients and their families hold in which they believe early termination...
