...As we can see, art and religion is present in the relic, “The Golden Tara”. The religious culture is manifested by a sculpture, or an idol, showing the artistic capacity of the civilization many years ago. This practice is still present in our time today, similar to the paintings and sculptures of many diverse religions. The discovery of these ancient tools is a proof of technology being used and developed long ago. We already had these basic tools long before we were discovered by different races. These also depict our ancestor’s simple standard of living. Having these tools proves that our ancestors were already looking for advancement in the way they live, and as they develop with time, even more technology is urbanized and more knowledge is unveiled. The practice of Trade has been long present since before the coming of the Spaniards. Evidence of this practice are the Chinese ceramics that were uncovered from some places in Cebu. Trade has always been a major player in the economy, and trading doesn’t only mean exchange of goods, but also exchange of knowledge. Warfare has always played a role in many societies. Most of them are caused by conflicting tribal affairs, protection of power, and ownership of land. In some places of Cebu, some traces of war artifacts are found, proving that warfare was present in the bygone times. Some tools and weapons were excavated and it can also be seen that warfare was of great importance during their...

...* On Mobile * Publish Notes * Book * UGC-NET * Twitter * Facebook * Contact Us Tara: Mahesh Dattani Mahesh Dattani has presented the bizarre reality of the woman playing second fiddle to man. This play opens with Chandan changed into Dan in order to absolve himself from the guilt of killing his sister. He has to bear the brunt of his grandfather’s and mother’s cruelty .He considers himself responsible for his sister’s death. In this play Dattani plays with the idea of female infanticide that is prevalent among the Gujratis and also suggests Patel`s hegemonic patriarchy when he insists that proper division in the gender roles be made Tara gives us a glimpse into the modern society which claims to be liberal and advanced in its thought and action. In a society which claims that its mothers are educated today and have `Devis` like Durga, Kali, Saraswati , Lakshmi etc whom not only women but men also pay obeisance , differentiate between a male child and a female child. All the propagandas of equality between male and female, equal opportunities to women in all the fields are belied. Dattani’s deep preoccupation with gender issues leads to the emergence of the idea of the twin side to one`s self –quite literally embodied in one body and the separation that follows Mahesh Dattani mentioned in one of his interviews with Lakshmi Subramanyam: ``I see Tara as a play about the male self and female self. The male self is being preferred in all cultures .The play...

...The goddess I have chosen to write about is the goddess Tara she is one of the manifestations of Devi. Tara originated as a Hindu goddess, a Great Goddess, the Mother Creator, representing the eternal life force that fuels all life. The Goddess Tara is by far the most popular deity in the Tibetan pantheon. There are many embodiments of Tara, but the best known are the White Tara and the Green Tara. The peaceful, compassionate White Tara gently protects and brings long life and peace. The more dynamic goddess, Green Tara is the "Mother Earth", and a fierce goddess who overcomes obstacles, and saves us from physical and spiritual danger. One of the myths of the Goddess Tara demonstrates the psychological flexibility that is granted to the female spirit. In some of her human forms, she could be quite fierce and wild. Refugees fleeing the horrors of the occupation of Tibet by the Chinese armies recounted numerous stories of the Green Tara that protected them during their torture and guided their flight to freedom. There is a form of the Goddess Tara in every culture. It is believed that she will assume as many forms on Earth as needed by the people. In all aspects, she loves and helps the people of the Earth in every way she can. She has had many incarnations now and far into the past. Her name is linked to many other Goddesses from around the world. She is very similar to Kuan Yin of the Chinese Buddhist tradition, the Cheyenne people called her the Star Woman and the ancient...

...The old adage “a person cannot be too rich or too thin”. As well-known Tata Motors’ (TTM) disappointing experience with the Nano, the $2,000 small size car it introduced with huge publicity in 2008, it is clear a car can be too cheap—at least for consumers who don’t want to be recognized with a low-end car. Ratan Tata, the chairperson of parent Tata Group, announced headlines a decade ago when he ordered up a “people’s car” which will appeal to Indian families who earlier can only own a scooter for travel. But Tata Motors has sold just 229,157 Nanos since deliveries began in 2009, and sales in March were off by 85% than previous year. Tata MD Karl Slym insists the company will not kill the tiny, egg-shaped car. It will soon add improvements to sustain the model, a move that will ultimately bring its price closer to those of competitors. The Nano’s marketing “didn’t jell with anyone,” he says. Scooter drivers were not attracted because others “never think that they are buying a car, they only think that they are buying something between a two-wheeler and a car. Anyone who had a car will never want to buy it, because it will always be supposed to be a two wheeler substitute.” Analysis of stages in complex buying behavior 1. Need recognition 2. Information search 3. Evolution of alternative 4. Purchase decision 5. Post purchase evaluation. Need Recognition. Need for Tata Nano can be driven either by internal stimuli (Desire/attitude/perception) or external...

...I chose to write about Tara Donovan because I find her work so beautiful. I was amazed that her pieces look so like natural forms, yet they are made from simple materials, including tape, plastic cups, index cards, and straws. Her piece made clear straws that resembles coral, must have taken a lot of time and patience to complete. Donovan must have a tolerance for tedious work because her sculptures are comprised of small materials that are sculpted to resemble nature. After viewing Tara Donovan’s pieces and visiting the Shrem museum, I realized the importance of lighting and setting in art. In the lecture slides, Donovan’s sculptures are lighted to make them look almost other worldly. In her video, Donovan say that her pieces are like...

...Economia de piaţă socialistă sau economia de piaţă socialista cu caracteristici chineze este termenul oficial folosit pentru a se referi la sistemul economic al Republicii Populare Chineze, după reformele lui Deng Xiaoping . De asemenea, este menţionată ca socialism cu caracteristici chineze. Similare, deşi mai puţin ample, astfel de reforme au fost întreprinse în Vietnam, în cazul în care sistemul economic este numit Mới Đổi (lit. "New Age). Se compune dintr-un amestec de socialism de planificare , cu o economie de piaţă . Deng Xiaoping, care a studiat şi a trăit în vest , a fost atras de ceea ce a vazut ca potenţial de dezvoltare a unei sistem capitalist / economie de piaţă Economia de piaţă socialistă este un concept propus pentru prima dată de Deng Xiaoping , în scopul de a introduce conceptul de piaţă în economia planificată in Republica Populară Chineza, iar apoi Đổi Mới în Vietnam. În urma punerii sale în aplicare, acest sistem economic a completat economia centrala planificata în Republica Populară Chineză, precum şi ratele de creştere ridicate din PIB în ultimele decenii au fost atribuite acestuia.

...United States of Tara Viewed Under Feminist Scope In a world structured by male patriarchy, women are constantly criticized and abused. This is the case for Tara Gregson of the television series United States of Tara. She is a woman, wife, and mother dealing with DID (dissociative identity disorder), formerly known as multiple personality disorder. After being subjugated to sexual abuse as a child, her mind was not able to conform to society’s ideal for her. Through her multiple personalities she struggles with Sandra Bartky’s idea of a docile body and is further excluded from the supposedly supportive feminist community, and society in general, because of her disability as discussed by Garland-Thomson. Through this paper I will explain these feminist ideas of Bartky and Garland-Thomson and discuss how they are displayed throughout the three seasons of United States of Tara. United States of Tara was a three series television show broadcasted on ShowTime from 2009 to 2011. It displays the life of a woman named Tara and how her DID not only affects her life, but her husband’s, children’s, and sister’s lives. Tara has three main alters; Buck, T, and Alice. Buck is interesting in that he is a man in a woman’s body. He is the epitome of bad masculinity, but he is also Tara’s protector. When Tara feels taken advantage of or hurt, she transitions into Buck to deal with the pain. T is a sixteen-year-old rebel child whose promiscuity and outrageousness allow Tara to connect with her...

...Major Depression Tara is a young female who has been enduring continuous episodes of major depression since a young age. Predisposing Tara encountered the difficulty of several life events as a child, from a Biopsychosocial perspective a combination of genetic, physical, psychological and environmental factors are involved in the likelihood for depression to develop. Although there is very little information about the genetic and biological factors that could have influenced Tara’s vulnerability in developing Major depression. A follow-up interview exploring her family’s mental health background is ideal in order to establish whether genetics or family history influenced her susceptibility. Similarly, in the follow-up interview whether there were any birthing complications, physical developments and more details on her temperament as child that could have affected her position. Tara’s gender as a female is also a plausible factor as females at a younger age are more prone to exhibiting symptoms of depression for longer periods (Jack & Ali, 2010). From an psychological perspective Tara shared how as a child she would spend a lot of time alone in her room in what she described as her own fantasy land. Tara’s personality structure identifies itself with neurotic traits that present themselves in various patterns of behaviour whilst also influencing her patterns of cognition. Tara’s emotional development from the early age of nine displayed symptoms of depression as...

...things that draw Tom to Tara, the way she could sleep. He loves the way she can sleep, but in a way it is also one of the things he hates most about her: “he’d lie awake, hoping she’d wake up, praying for it, dying.” P.1/l.2-3. He both loves and hates the way she can sleep. He loves to watch her sleep, it makes him feel lucky, privileged and trusted, because she drops all of her defenses which he takes as a sign that she trusts him with her life, her body, her heart and her soul. He also hates the way that she can sleep, he lies awake hoping, praying, dying for her to wake up and be with him and love him. With Tara, totally devoted to him, he feels trusted and probably also loved, because otherwise their relationship, all through their marriage, seem a bit superficial, with superficial love, for Tara´s sake at least. The love and the devotion in the relationship seem a bit one-sided, it seems like it is Tom that keeps the relationship going and he has probably been keeping it going all through the twenty-six years they have known each other. It is not definite at all, because the story is narrated from Tom´s point of view and we do not really hear much about Tara and how she sees things. We do not know if that is because the writer just do not tell us about her or if it is because there are nothing to tell, because Tara is asleep all of the time and therefore have nothing to say or contribute with. The short story shows many examples of Tom and Tara´s differences. In many ways...

...Ultimately, Scarlett does pay a price for her independent nature--loneliness. She feels different from other women and other Southerners. Scarlett, however, accepts her fate--isolation and ostracism--for being different from the other members of her community. Above all else, Scarlett is courageous. When Atlanta is burning and the Confederate army is retreating, Rhett abandons Scarlett behind enemy lines, leaving her to drive her son, Wade, Melanie, who is very frail from recently giving birth, and Prissy, through darkness and danger back to Tara where many homes have been burned by the advancing Union army.. Later, when a lone Union soldier arrives at Tara to loot and to possibly rape her, she shoots him in the face and kills him. Confronted with her mother's death, her father's senility, and her sisters' illness, Scarlett assumes the patriarchal role of running Tara and saving the family from starvation. She also assumes traditional domestic responsibilities, which planter class women of her era did not perform, and finally, she assumes the role occupied by slaves prior to the start of the Civil War. No chore is beneath her now, not "the backbreaking work," or "the desperate struggle for food." Scarlett, who had been spoiled and pampered her entire life, "who had never raised her hand even to pick up her discarded stockings from the floor," is driven by hunger to care for her family, to survive. The reason Scarlett is able to assume these various roles and to rebuild and even...

...Tara wants the counselor to tell Jason how she feels, for example, how if he doesn’t “stop having such a close relationship with his mother”, his wife will likely leave him. Jason has also made it seem as if he hasn’t communicated how important his mother is to him, but also how their relationship isn’t perfect either. Sometimes they “yell or get upset with each other”. He also admits that he wishes his mom had more hobbies or friends so she wasn’t so involved with his life. So there are a few different third parties that get in the way of Jason and Tara’s communication. The counselor is one and Jason’s mother is the other. Tara wants to communicate with the counselor about how she feels about Jason, which is good, but she also needs to tell Jason how she feels and how important this issue really is to her. Jason needs to listen to Tara without getting defensive of his mother. He should also let Tara know why his mother is important to him and explain to her how he feels about the situation. Jason should continue and let his mother know he wishes she would give him more space and maybe occupy herself with “hobbies or friends”. His mother should respect Jason and Tara’s marriage and not make Tara feel poorly about...
