...There is nothing as fulfilling as giving back to the community as it helps demonstrate one’s values in life. The past five years have been very eventful but I have managed to give back to the community by volunteering and also by participating in major events that have generated income for the community. In 2011, I was still fairly new to the country but I had been able to join the Tacoma Community House where I helped provide translation and interpretation services to immigrants who did not speak a word of English or had trouble communicating with the staff. I developed a compassion to the individuals as I related to their experiences as a foreigner. In no time, I found myself helping out in the hospitals where I utilized my medical experience...

...The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available at www.emeraldinsight.com/1352-2752.htm YouTube: an opportunity for consumer narrative analysis? Stefano Pace ` Universita Bocconi, Milano, Italy Abstract Purpose – The aim of the paper is to discuss a possible extension of narrative analysis to a new medium of expression of consumer behaviour, specifically YouTube. Design/methodology/approach – Marketing and consumer behaviour studies often apply narrative analysis to understand consumption. The consumer is a source of introspective narratives that are studied by scholars. However, consumption has a narrative nature in itself and consumers are also storytellers. YouTube is a new context in which subjects tell stories to an audience through self-made videos and re-edited TV programs. After defining the pros and cons of different approaches to the study of YouTube, narrative analysis is presented as a possible means of understanding YouTube. Findings – Some preliminary evidence is presented by discussing several YouTube videos. These indicate that YouTube content can be better understood as stories, rather than example of other approaches, such as visual analysis, media studies, videography, and others. Research limitations/implications – From the analysis conducted, preliminary managerial implications can be drawn. It seems unlikely that normal TV broadcasters will be substituted by YouTube videos. For the most part, YouTube content draws its sense and shared...

...Different Kind of War Story is that “The encounter with violence is a profoundly personal event” (4). Secondly, Nordstrom argues that people have a “remarkable creativity that they bring to the fore in surviving violence and rebuilding humane worlds” (Nordstrom 4). She talks about the creativity of those individuals undergoing violence and their ability to build a new world for themselves after everything has been taken from them or destroyed. She makes the argument that creativity is a core survival strategy and a profound form of resistance to political violence and oppression. Nordstrom is careful to point out the relationship between violence and creativity in that violence does not need to be present for creativity to flourish....

...Democracy Both Jean Jacques Rousseau and Alex de Tocqueville have been profoundly influential in helping us understand the nature of our society. Their critical analysis provides a platform through which we can engage in pragmatic debate. This paper will attempt to explain the views of both authors while giving a comparative analysis of their ideas. In the early 19th century, renowned French political thinker Alex de Tocqueville embarked on a journey across the Atlantic Ocean to America. His mission was to understand what exactly made American democracy so special. Along the way, much was revealed about the American way of life. In his findings he noted the prevailing sense of individualism amongst the population. He found that most people where predominantly occupied by the notion of the “self” rather than the collective. Unsurprisingly, Tocqueville came to the conclusion that such a way of life would inevitably cause a collapse in America’s social framework. In what can only be called a remarkable display of socio-political prescience, Tocqueville also concluded that the American civilization was destined to adopt a form of governance wherein all actions would be designed to satisfy the will of the individual rather than the will of the collective. The trend towards individualism and selfishness that Tocqueville identified prompted him to come to a series of revealing predictions. He found that a culture predicated on egotism, selfishness and individualism would promote...

...Chart Cues: Credibility of the Narrator Lines (Quotes) | Reflections / Reactions | Conclusion: Do these lines enhance or detract from the credibility of the narrative voice. | “This book was born as I was hungry” (Martel I) | -She must have not been born to a lot of wealth-In a symbolic sense it could mean that he is was hungry for knowledge specifically in literature and filled with hunger by creating the book. | -I feel as though It detracts the narratives voice because the quote was so vague, and unexplained. It leaves the reader curious and as though there is no explanation to the quote | “If we, citizens, do not support our artists, then we sacrifice our imagination on the altar of crude reality and we end up believing in nothing and having worthless dreams.” (Martel I) | -She’s very in tuned with her community and nationality, just by that quote alone, It would not be surprise me if she was an activist who cares for the people’s needs- She must have had a life changing experience or have been mentored by the best in order to publicly share her feelings of what believes is right and what is wrong | -This lines definitely enhances the narrative voice it gave me chills as a I read it the second, because I was not able to process the meaning of it the first timeThe language and the delivery of each word was so well placed, as wired as it may sound I felt like expressing myself any way possible once I processed its meaning | “The reason death sticks so closely to...

...7 BARTIMAEUS (Mark 10:46-52) The story of Bartimaeus is an experience of the healing power of faith that leads to discipleship. It begins in identification with the humiliation of a blind beggar sitting in the dust. It ends with his sight restored as he follows Jesus on the way up to Jerusalem. In a unique way, this story concretizes the power of the faith of persons who are oppressed by physical or mental handicaps, patriarchal social structures, racial discrimination, and economic systems over which they have no control. It is an invitation to allow our own personal and communal humiliation to be seen in the context of Bartimaeus's faith in Jesus as the Christ. The Story And they came to Jericho. And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a great multitude, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" And many rebuked him, telling him to shut up. But he cried out all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" And Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." And they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take heart; rise, he is calling you." And throwing off his mantle he sprang up and came to Jesus. And Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Master, let me receive my sight." And Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." And immediately he received his sight...

...call his name. In this poem, identity is not seen as something that is solid and concrete but as something that is situated and constructed by others, a glimpse of poststructuralist view on identity. Recently, language learning has been seen as participation and negotiation of self (see Higgins, forthcoming; Kinginger, 2004; Lam, 2000; Morita, 2004; Ohara, 2001; Pavlenko & Lantolf, 2000; and Solé, 2007 among others). The trend is resonated in the growing interest in language learner identity and the studies in narratives. In this paper, a case of heritage language learner will be investigated upon the theoretical frame of poststructuralism. Narrative inquiry will be used to analyze how she negotiates her learner identity. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: First, by looking at the struggle a language learner makes to acquire her heritage language, I reclaim the centrality of identity in defining heritage language learners. Second, to widen the horizons of narrative studies to the cyber space as it provides an ample source of easily accessible data and it has become one of the commonplace media of daily communication. Heritage Language Learners and Identity To refer to the Heritage Language Learners (HLLs), various terms have been implemented such as ‘native speakers,’ ‘quasi native speakers,’ ‘bilingual speakers,’ or, from the dissatisfaction with the prior terms, ‘home background speakers,’ and ‘heritage language speakers’ (Valés, 2005: p. 412). There has not yet been...

...installation motion picture art, and then feature films. Perhaps artists like Warhol have always been best at pushing the limits – they are not afraid of breaking the rules, trying something different or shocking, and taking a risk upon exhibiting the results. Linda Yablonsky in her contribution to ARTNews credits Andy Warhol as the specific artist, and reason, that has convinced current artists to make their way into film; this movement is surprising audiences with the compositions produced. Yablonsky compares and contrasts such artists' work from before and after this transition and states that generally, “their movies are extensions of their usual work, with one difference: the films are based on screenplays that have a fairly conventional narrative bent” (Yablonsky, 1). Warhol's...

...Symbolic anthropology studies the way people understand their surroundings and make specific aspects of their society into a symbol in which the other parts of their life revolve around or connect to. When studying symbolic anthropology one can see that these significant symbols help tie together a bond between the people of that society; whether it be ritualistic or simple everyday actions. According to Clifford Geertz, symbolic anthropology should be understood well enough so that an individual can familiarize himself and get as close as they possibly can to that culture. Geertz wanted to look at culture like a text, and finding a symbol to connects all aspects of a culture would help one do so. "Veiled Sentiments: Honor and Poetry in...

...Africa through Theatre This paper sets out to explore how processes of theatre making employed by The Mothertongue project, provide spaces for women to remap their personal narratives. Mothertongue works from the premise that the development and subsequent performance of stories in theatrical processes affords women the opportunity to re-write and remap their personal narratives and in so doing insert their voices into the landscape of South African Theatre. In an attempt to redress the gender imbalances and androcentricism prevalent in post-apartheid theatre, this paper speaks to the relationship between theatre, liminality and communitas. I am interested in unpacking how collaborative processes of theatre-making provide spaces for women to remap their personal narratives. Remapping in this instance refers to processes of transforming lived experience through story. I address how, through engaging in ritual activities that are central to the stories performed, actors, audiences and the owners of the source stories are invited to physically participate in remapping and transforming lived experience. Linked to this is the choice of form(s) and how this affects or impacts on the performed stories as well as on the construction of performed rituals and ultimately on the processes of remapping personal narratives. I focus specifically on Mothertongue’s 2004 production, Uhambo: pieces of a dream. The production was an integration of theatre and visual art in the form of performances...

You have a certain responsibility to your community, to your occupation and colleagues, your school and its integrity, your family, economically, and so on.
