Her parents were particularly honourable and principled people who raised their family with a strong tradition of charitable works[1]. After marriage to Captain Archibald Chisholm she moved to India and then later Australia. In India she founded the Female School of Industry for Daughters of European soldiers. However it was when she moved to Australia where her great philanthropic work was really demonstrated. It was here in Australia where she established herself as a prominent member of society.
A woman helped my sister and I follow along with the chants, a man later translated a nun’s discussion of a documentary we watched, and, in addition, another woman bought us some sandwiches and fruit tea, which I must say was delicious, in the Tea Room. Upon attending the weekly chanting service – held every Sunday at 10:30am – I must record my observations of the ritual itself. When first entering the Temple, an attendee will see three doors. Opening into the Main Shrine room, there are three gold-plated statues of Buddhas. In the center is Lord Śākyamuni Buddha, the Great Teacher of Buddhism.

She can even perform a ceremony for her granddaughter in New York to the “twenty-first century totem pole…made of flash and neon” (114). Harjo is able to carry out her rituals and use her belief as a therapeutic figure for challenges she faces in life because nothing can damage her spiritual experience. Before Kamps became the spiritual being she is now, she once went to church to find truth in life. When Kamps’ mother died and she was pregnant, she needed the church the most.
When Paul was asked by an Interviewer, why she dedicated her whole life to women’s equality, she credited her farm upbringing, and the teachings of her mother (“Alice Paul: Feminist, Suffragist,” par. 6). Alice was inspired by her mother to spend her life holding campaigns, for the welfare of women. The education was limited for women in the Quaker society; they only studied for a year, and got married. “Though each of [Tacie’s] four children took classes at the college, it was her eldest daughter Alice who stayed for four years graduating with a degree in Biology” (“Alice Paul: Feminist, Suffragist,” par.
She graduated this school in 1997. While a student there she released her second album, one in a Million. Which was one of my favorites. At the age of 17 Aaliyah was known worldwide. She had sold over two million copies.

Miri Song’s study on British Chinese found that Chinese parents were very influential in reinforcing Chinese values by positively sanctioning children who choose to help out in the family business. These children were seen as more ‘Chinese’ as they adopted the Chinese cultural characteristics of family solidarity and collective loyalty. Another way in which ethnic identities are created and reinforced is through the secondary agent of socialisation, religion. Religion can also be considered as a primary agent of socialisation as many ethnic cultures are heavily influenced by religion; these beliefs are passed down through the family from generation to generation. Charlotte Butler in her 1995 study of Muslim girls found that their religion was central to creating their ethnic identity.
Year 11 Buddhism Sangha | * Sangha- community of Buddhist monks or nuns * Sangha is the term used for the Buddhist spiritual community. * On Sangha Day Buddhists celebrate both the ideal of creating a spiritual community, and also the actual spiritual community which they are trying to create. * The Sangha is precious in Buddhism as without those in the community to look up to or share aspirations with, the spiritual life would be very challenging. * Sangha members represent the embodiment of the Dhamma and they have been, by and large, responsible for the preservation and promotion of the religion, both during and after the time of the Buddha. | | Watch some of the video “The Triple Gem: Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha” which shows images of life in the Sanghahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH60ZG3hODA | Early Councils | Early Buddhism remained centered around the Ganges valley, spreading gradually from its ancient heartland.
I am so thankful to lives in California because I can see people that have different culture from mine. United States is a melting pot country as a whole but I think California is the home to people from different background. Culture is the language, religion, tradition, values and behavior of people from different nationality. We can recognize people from different culture by how the dress, gestures and the language they speak. Since I’m Cambodian, my culture is during our New Year which has different date from American New Year, we go to temple to bring foods for the monks.
