...I came to the conclusion that the narrator does not know his traditions because he might not be being interested of learning the history of the traditions. He has follow and practice what others around him had done all of their lives. I do believe is important to know your traditions because is the base of where you come from. In some cultures, traditions are very important and if you do not know them you can get punish or get in trouble. The narrator talks about his circle and presents people around the community and tells who are they. The way he expresses about them it seems that the community treat each other with respect and why not like a family. Each member of the community has a job like the Rabbi he has the knowledge and the community...

...Hakekat Musik Oleh: Saras Dewi Pendahuluan Setiap saat, kita selalu bersinggungan dengan musik. Baik bermain alat musik, menikmati nyanyian, hingga bersiul. Manusia tidak pernah luput dari musik. Meskipun setiap saat bersentuhan dengan musik, sulit untuk dijelaskan secara definitif apa yang dimaksud dengan musik? Secara informal kita memahami bahwa musik adalah suatu kegiatan yang berhubungan dengan nada yang juga menyebabkan rasa menyenangkan bagi kita. Namun secara formal, sulit sekali memberikan definisi umum yang dapat disepakati oleh semua pengkaji musik, pakar estetika, hingga para filosof. Secara garis besar, musik dapat kita anggap sebagai kesatuan nada-nada yang terorganisir sehingga membentuk suara yang harmonis. Tetapi di sisi lain, tidak semua musik adalah nada-nada yang terorganisir dan patuh pada suatu pola bermusik. Sebagian besar yang kita klaim sebagai musik, terkadang datang dari alam, atau suara-suara yang muncul di sekitar kita. Inilah yang menyebabkan beberapa kontradiksi perihal apa yang dimaksud dengan musik? Tanpa berlama-lama berkutat dalam perdebatan definisi musik. Kita beranjak membahas hal yang lebih filosofis tentang musik. Seperti yang telah dipaparkan, meskipun musik merupakan suatu kegiatan yang lazim dilakukan oleh siapapun, dibalik pengertian keseharian dari musik, sesungguhnya terdapat pengertian yang lebih mendalam, yakni hakekat dari musik itu sendiri. Mengapa musik penting bagi manusia? Apa makna musik bagi manusia? Demikian para filosof...

...In the first two years of high school, I was an active member in Student Council. In Student Council, I participated in planning for school dances, spirit week, and diversity week. During high school I have also been apart of volunteer clubs, like Key Club and Interact Club. Through those clubs, I’ve been able to volunteer through programs such as Santa Cops and Toys for Tots. I’ve also been able to help set up for events like Night-to-Shine, Place-At-The-Table, and Make-A-Wish week. In terms of music, all four years, I’ve been a member of Symphony Orchestra, the most advanced orchestra, as a cellist. Just last year, 2017, we competed at the National Ski-Music Festival in Winter Park and returned with three trophies. One for superior scoring....

...Authenticity: Unlocking the key to significance. Photo by Sabo Tercero Today I summed up a few things I had been reflecting about after reading a note from an old colleague. This is what it sparked in me: In the GREAT stage of life, my role is small and might go unnoticed, if not for the fact that I can put into it that which only I can contribute. And I can do it with so much love and enjoyment that it becomes memorable. I know the theater reference comes from my recent work as producer/actress for the Mexico Cast production of Fiddler on the Roof. But bear with me. What about the learning opportunity for the larger picture? Lately I have been dealing with people who lock up their own feelings and are not straightforward about their views, forthcoming about their wants or easy to deal with for me. It’s been a challenge, to say the least. My first reaction is to steer clear away from them. I might still! But in my dealings, I have found great opportunity to understand my own slant towards authentic expression, onstage and off. It’s about how small a role is. You see, in some ways it is much easier to shine and get noticed if you have been assigned a big, juicy lead. Still, in our play there’s the Rabbi that barely says a few words and becomes one of the most applauded actors on this stage. Certainly, he is seen and remembered by the audience. There’s a mastery about him, that comes only from years of work and spotless technique. But I wonder if it is only that which...

...THE STRATEGY LENSES 21 The four lenses are introduced more fully immediately after this chapter and will provide the framework for separate commentaries on each of the three parts of this book. This section introduces them briefly as follows: ● Strategy as design. This takes the view that strategy development can be ‘designed’ in the abstract, as an architect might design a building using pens, rulers and paper. The architect designs, and then hands over the plans for the builders actually to build. This design lens on strategy encourages a large investment in planning and analysis before making final decisions. It tends to exclude improvisation in strategy development and underplay the unpredictable, conservative or political aspects of human organisations. Taking a design lens to a strategic problem means being systematic, analytical and logical. Strategy as experience. The experience lens recognises that the future strategy of an organisation is often heavily influenced by its experience and that of its managers. Here strategies are seen as driven not so much by clear-cut analysis as by the taken-for-granted assumptions and ways of doing things embedded in people’s personal experience and the organisational culture. Strategy is likely to build on and continue what has gone on before. Insofar as different views and expectations within the organisation exist, they will be resolved not through rational optimisation, as in the design lens, but through messy compromises and...

...John Foster Dr. Tucker Comparative Religions 4/30/12 Option 3 Judaism Judaism is the original of the three Abrahamic faiths; these faiths include Christianity and Islam. Judaism started in the Middle East over 35000 years ago. There has been somewhat of an argument to who founded Judaism, many believe Moses was the founder, but Jews have traced their history back to see that Abraham could have been the founder. Jews believe and have faith that there is only one God and they feel they have a covenant with that God. What the Jews mean by covenant is “the covenant between God and Jews is the basis for the idea of the Jews as the chosen people.” Roman Times There was a certain time period where the Jewish People pretty much governed themselves and were able to come to peace with the Roman Empire. “But internal divisions weakened the Jewish kingdom and allowed the Romans to establish control in 63 BCE.” After this the Jewish people were being taxed and “oppressed” by a series of rulers who pretty much forgot and did not care for the practice of Judaism. At the time the priests or “Sadducees” were friends or allies with the rulers and forgot who they really were. After this the Jews turned to the Pharisees or scribes, these people were also called Rabbis, which means teachers. When the Rabbis came in they encouraged the Jewish people to look at new ethical laws in all aspects of like, and look at a cycle of prayer and festivals in the home and at synagogues. History from...

...A Brief History of Music in Film Going to the movies is one of America’s top favorite pass times; and no movie-going experience would be complete without the accompanying sound tracks. The music in movies often heightens the suspense and deepens the drama. The right background music can make us fall in love with a character, be terrified of the villain, or even adore an unlikely hero. Starting with Silent films and continuing until today, music has been an important part in the movie industry. In the beginning, movies had no sound and eventually the studios figured out they needed something for their movies to be more entertaining. Very quickly they figured out music would supplement and go along well with the action on the screen. Music has always been able to affect people emotionally, so it made a perfect accompaniment for movies. In the early theaters, pianos quickly became a well-recognized fixture. Organs quickly followed and music became a permanent part of the movie-going experience. At first, it was up to musicians to choose what music they would play during the films; but the music still didn’t have a true designated purpose, other than used as filler. Eventually the studios began producing music for the musicians that was more suitable for the film. The music became more and more specialized based on what the studio wanted, until music was specifically written for each film. In fact, Charlie Chaplin composed his own music for some of his films...

...Bienvenido Santos: The Day The Dancers Came AS soon as Fil woke up, he noticed a whiteness outside, quite unusual for the November mornings they had been having. That fall, Chicago was sandman's town, sleepy valley, drowsy gray, slumberous mistiness from sunup till noon when the clouds drifted away in cauliflower clusters and suddenly it was evening. The lights shone on the avenues like soiled lamps centuries old and the skyscrapers became monsters with a thousand sore eyes. Now there was a brightness in the air land Fil knew what it was and he shouted, "Snow! It's snowing!" Tony, who slept in the adjoining room, was awakened. "What's that?" he asked. "It's snowing," Fil said, smiling to himself as if he had ordered this and was satisfied with the prompt delivery. "Oh, they'll love this, they'll love this." "Who'll love that?" Tony asked, his voice raised in annoyance. "The dancers, of course," Fil answered. "They're arriving today. Maybe they've already arrived. They'll walk in the snow and love it. Their first snow, I'm sure." "How do you know it wasn't snowing in New York while they were there?" Tony asked. "Snow in New York in early November?" Fil said. "Are you crazy?" "Who's crazy?" Tony replied. "Ever since you heard of those dancers from the Philippines, you've been acting nuts. Loco. As if they're coming here just for you. Tony chuckled. Hearing him, Fil blushed, realizing that he had, indeed, been acting too eager, but Tony had said it. It felt that way--as...

...A Painted House John Grisham Chapter 1 The hill people and the Mexicans arrived on the same day. It was a Wednesday, early in September 1952. The Cardinals were five games behind the Dodgers with three weeks to go, and the season looked hopeless. The cotton, however, was waist-high to my father, over my head, and he and my grandfather could be heard before supper whispering words that were seldom heard. It could be a "good crop." They were farmers, hardworking men who embraced pessimism only when discussing the weather and the crops. There was too much sun, or too much rain, or the threat of floods in the lowlands, or the rising prices of seed and fertilizer, or the uncertainties of the markets. On the most perfect of days, my mother would quietly say to me, "Don't worry. The men will find something to worry about." Pappy, my grandfather, was worried about the price for labor when we went searching for the hill people. They were paid for every hundred pounds of cotton they picked. The previous year, according to him, it was $1.50 per hundred. He'd already heard rumors that a farmer over in Lake City was offering $1.60. This played heavily on his mind as we rode to town. He never talked when he drove, and this was because, according to my mother, not much of a driver herself, he was afraid of motorized vehicles. His truck was a 1939 Ford, and with the exception of our old John Deere tractor, it was our sole means of transportation. This was no particular problem except when...
