Those different ways to see the world were the framework they used to create solutions for their problems and answers for their questions.

Man’s need to belong can trigger both positive and negative responses. Discuss with reference to two poems studied and a related text. Belonging is vital for humans as it promotes a sense of identity and security, both in the world and to ourselves. It is a universal condition that acts as a motive and provides endurance in our attempts to establish our place in society. This is reflected both in Skyrznecki’s poem “Felik’s Skyrznecki” and Heyman’s newspaper article “No Place Like Home.” Conversely, both texts also reflect the double sided nature of belonging can result in our rejection to change and the greater community.
Comparison point 1: Culture a.) Culture is important because it help explain how there are many similarities but each country has their own identity. b.)
Both colonies had similar needs such as food, shelter, and a form of commerce to sustain them. The motives and values behind fulfilling those needs had the same basis, but varied greatly. Each had religious beliefs, relationships with Native American Indians, products for export and a way to procure them, and governance. The ultimate diversity in their practices led these two early colonies to opposite ends of the spectrum by 1700. First, there is the main theme of both colonies, religion.
Because the United States constitution and Ohio constitution work together in defending federalism, there are many similarities between the two texts. Both documents posses a Bill of Rights, which appeal towards the civic freedoms of the people. Though very similar in theory, the structure of the both constitutions also shows distinct differences in comparison to one another. In matters of common defense, both the federal and state governments promote the safety and protection of its citizens and the organization of armies to defend its people. As a unique document, the Ohio State Constitution carries both strong points and weak points, which, if were subject to reform, would improve the circumstances of the welfare of its state citizens.
'The way that I have been working with materials is trying to bring the ancient works, traditional materials and craft skills into a contemporary art field where traditions and craftsmanship are often not necessarily cared and valued much.' It could be said that Ah Xian, a Chinese-Australian contemporary artist is the connection between traditional and modern art. Heavy inspiration for his work comes from his cultural background - China, from this comes Buddhist influence and also influence from traditional stories. In his art, he strives to successfully assimilate his cultural background with the artistic language and values of the West. Ah Xian focuses on the human form, in particular, the bust (modelled by Chinese and no Chinese men and women, many including friends and family).
One of the greatest questions that has been posed about human beings is whether we are the way we are because of the traits with which we were born or the social and environmental factors to which we are exposed through our life experiences. This is a recurring theme in literature about identity and the most common answer suggested in texts such as the poetry of Bruce Dawe, the film Rabbit Proof Fence, directed by Phillip Noyce and the article Veils and Vegemite by Randa Abdel-Fattah is that the two inevitably work together to forge our identities. The way, in which our natural personalities are tempered by elements such as family, the culture from which we originate as well as factors such as the materialistic society in which we live will be explored as they are discussed in the three above named texts. Dawes agreement with the fact that a person’s natural personality is quickly affected often negatively, by the social conditioning that is provided by society, is clearly demonstrate in his poem Enter... The title of the poem immediately launches these ideas by suggesting that the child enters the world in an unconventional manner, without acknowledging the
Chapters 16 & 19 “Representing cultural knowledge in interpersonal and mass media contexts,” is the main idea behind these two chapters. Each chapter is different than the other but they both are talking about the same point. One is taking about the reason why we sing and understanding traditional African American worship. The other is about Native American culture and communication through humor. Both of these chapters were about culture knowledge and how we can’t accept other cultures because we think our way is the right way.
Belonging is defined as acceptance as a natural member or part which provides a secure relationship that therefore fulfils us as human beings. It can vary including belonging in cultures, religions, community, schools and relationships. The finest thing in the world is knowing how to belong to oneself. You have to belong to yourself before you belong to society. Belonging is a tricky concept, as you can argue that people who don’t want to belong actually "belong" to a group of people who don’t want to belong.
Dominic Ellis Chapman W 131 July 10, 2012 Identity Theft As rational, self-conscious people we care about who we are and where we care from as far as our family roots. Our culture is important to us no matter what race or background we come from. The fact of the matter is we are very keen of who we are and what make us who we are because we value our identity. We also want our identity to be factual and precise when it is reported by those with authority. Howard Gardner, a psychologist and a college professor at Harvard University also feels that identity is an important to an individual.
