Tayler Meszaros Mr. Williams Block D April 1 Keep on Dreaming The American/Canadian dream is something everyone wants. In order to conquer the American/Canadian dream one may have to struggle against society. Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is a great novel that shows how people battle against society to live their dream. This novel compares well with Willa Cather’s My Antonia and O Pioneers, and Joy Kogawa’s Obasan. In each of the stories the characters are tested with difficulties such as racism, prejudice, death, or love affairs.
An interpretation like this film is used to appeal to a more modern audience. In a way, this connects the modern audience to the initial work’s audience. It creates a certain tie to the world’s past. Perhaps this is the goal, to create a gateway to history and introduce the 21st century to its roots. These roots link the world together through the past and will always remain to unify each and every one of

Aakanksha Ardhapurkar January 14, 2012 TOK Different Cultures Have Different Truths In today’s world, truth is a word that has multiple meanings, but the traditional meaning is ‘conformity to truth or actuality.’ However, the statement ‘different cultures have different truths’ implies that culture affects the truth; so different cultures believe in different truths. If we believe that different cultures do have different truths, then it means that every person has had a different upbringing, in turn meaning that they have had different experiences that define their values for them. This belief, which is also known as cultural relativism, implies that when a person belongs to a different culture, that person has had a completely different upbringing, and experiences, due to which their truths differ from yours. The existence of different cultures means that a person has a different set of values, and can believe in a statement to a different extent than someone else, because of that person’s experiences and knowledge filters are different. An example of cultural relativism is that Hindus think of cows as being sacred and do not eat beef.
Thunderbird's mission is "We educate global leaders who create sustainable prosperity worldwide." State your personal mission and how it is aligned with Thunderbird. Explain how you developed your personal mission, either from your own life experiences, or by the examples of others. (Limit 500 words) In a single sentence, my personal mission is to strive to eliminate the inequity in education in India. While basic literacy in India has surged in recent decades, opportunities for good education are still largely the realm of the Indian middle class.
It is our reality. Stepping out of one’s own culture and into someone else’s in an effort to gain a better understanding is known as cultural relativism (Crapo, 2013). This process is invaluable because it helps us to combat our own innate or built in ethnocentric bias. When looking at any belief, culture, ritual or ceremony it is important to remember what noted anthropologist Horace Miner said “Most cultures exhibit a particular configuration or style” (Miner, 1956). If we learn to look at another’s culture as their own particular style, it is easier to be objective, and less judgmental.
In conclusion if the first amendment is not tolerated then it does not matter because the flag is an extension of it. On the other hand in “Without Title” by Diane Glancy the family has to accept a new culture. The father brings hides from buffalo in the house. “My mother said get rid of them” (Glancy 39). The mom does not want the past in the house.
A second mode involves Aboriginal paradigms, which call for the rejuvenation and reclamation of ways in which disputes may be resolved according to the culture and custom of the Aboriginal party involved. Due to the diversity and distinctiveness of Aboriginal peoples across the continent, Aboriginal people’s methods of dispute resolution are not easily summarized into categories. Rather, they are reflective of the Indigenous teachings from which they come and therefore may be different from one Aboriginal nation to another. A third mode is a combination of the two paradigms. All three modes, however, share similar challenges.
After all, it is a defining question, one from which our identity takes shape. If we appreciate what makes us Hindu, then our convictions are strengthened, and we can adapt to the changing conditions of the modern day. So why am I a Hindu? I can’t answer this question for you, but I can answer it for myself, and perhaps through this answer, it will give you some ideas as to how you wish to answer the question for yourself. The fact that the question can be answered in multiple manners is a reflection of Hinduism’s diversity, just one of the many aspects that make it a vibrant way of life.
The Adult Learning Theory COLL100 D143 American Military University Amy Peterson The Adult learning theory is a topic that depicts how adults adapt to life circumstances and styles of learning from childhood to adulthood. The basic grasp of how our minds works and operate under different situation and life demands. It is my in-depth interest in this topic that prompts me to do further research into this topic.
