Whether the money is used for a car, house, or farm they must pay it back over time just like a Moka. I liked the film Ongka’s Big Moka because I got to see through the acts of a Big Man in the tribe of Kawelka with the goal to arrange a Moka ceremony while getting a better understanding of topics that I learned in

The poverty that Lakshmi and her family face is inconceivable. The thought of not having money to fix their roof, sufficient food supplies, or enough money to enjoy simple luxuries is made clear in the beginning of the story. Lakshmi sees the possibility of her going to the city for a job as an opportunity to help her family and to earn wages to aid in their financial struggle, as well as self-confidence and to prove that she is a hard worker. Ama, her mother, is subordinate to her husband and follows all directions. When Lakshmi and Ama are enjoying popcorn and a cigarette, respectively, Ama says that with that year’s crop, they may be able to afford some new things. All Lakshmi thinks of is the tin roof. The realization of not getting a new roof sets in when they think of all of the payments and expenses that need to occur before ...
Varying theories such as rational choice theory, trait theory, and social structure theory are commonly used to explain why crime happens. Application of these three theories in discussing the crimes of Richard Speck can help us to better understand which of the theories may apply and perhaps help give us insight into why he committed his crimes. But they are more beneficial when not looking at a single specific crime, but the person and all the crimes they may have committed throughout their criminal careers.
California is one of the most common places that the American Dream is fulfilled. The Golden state is one of the wealthiest states in America, and only a few people with money or fame were known. In Joan Didion’s essay, “Comrade Laski, C.P.U.S.A (M.-L.)”, we are shown an example of trying to make the dream come true. In the essay, Michael Laski and the members of the Communist Party try to start a revolution, but were stopped due to the reality of money and support.
Sesshu Toyo’s art was often landscapes like other Zen Buddhist artists. One of his most notable masterpieces is the Painting of Juro. Juro often referred to as Jurojin, is known to represent the god of longevity and good fortune. While he is known to be a Chinese Taoist god, in Japan he became popular as one of the “Seven Gods of Good Fortune” and eventually became a Zen Buddhist god. It is believed by some that he may have been an actual historical figure of the Northern Song dynasty from China. This painting is executed in light colors on silk measures and ink. Written on the upper right corner is a one-line inscription by the artist: “Painted by Sesshu at the age of eighty-three years” which corresponds with the year 1502. This painting is presently considered to be his last known work. Sesshu depicted the white-haired Juro in a posture of repose. His head and shoulders are tilted slightly forward, his face seen in three-quarter view, and the gaze is faced pensively downward. In Juro’s hand he holds a scepter and around the upper portion of his body a luminous halo is seen. Juro sits somewhat sideways with one foot resting on a rock and the other on the ground, wearing a robe, while a gauze veil covers his head and shoulders. Between Juro’s feet, partly behind a rock, appears to be a wide sash with a small ornament at the tip as two ends of a scarf fall curling around the ground. Near the rock’s edge on the right stands a sennin, also known as an attendant, or Taoist immortal who is offering fungus to the deity. Juro is accompanied by animals associated with longevity: a white deer, a red-headed crane, and a small turtle that is creeping from behind one of the curled scarf ends. The bamboo that surround Juro in this masterpiece represent good fortune and longevity to the Japanese culture because of their ability to proliferate and grow in the most adverse
When it comes to contrasting Toshio Shibata and Robert Adams, there are inherent differences between their work. Before outlining how their photography differentiates, it is first important to understand how their individual background and photographic journey varies.
The author, John F. Kasson, wrote Amusing the Millions with the purpose to show how the attitude of Coney Island changed the attitudes of Americans from victorian views to more progressional views. The story starts of showing how Chicago and New York created parks in the middle of the city, so that people would have a space in the middle of the city to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The thought of this is what initialized the amusement parks of Coney Island. During the start of the progressive era people like Frederick Olmstead challenged the standard of living. Victorian ideals included the belief that people needed to give up any fun, entertainment, and luxuries during their lives for the reward of going to heaven. In New York,
Mangelwadi and Falk both promote good ideas about science and Christianity and their relationship to each other. Mangelwadi uses the bible to help explain the Western Cultures importance in history. He thinks that Western Civilization is only the way we know it because of the Bible and Christians views within the World. Western Civilizations rise for importance for science began when the bible inspired Christians to recover God’s command for human dominion over nature. Mangelwadi explains that the scientific method grew out of the theology that these Christians held, and that science is understandable because God created the world as a rational and ordered creation that is regulated by natural laws. He further suggests that by understanding
There are other precursors like the Novachord and the Ondes Martenot, which used a sliding metal piece in addition to a keyboard to create pitches, but it wasn’t until 1964 that Robert Moog released the first voltage controlled synthesizer. Moog said in his documentary: Synthesizer Documentary ~ Moog by Hans Fjellestad:
This was the second time I watch this documentary. Accounting to Richard Kuklinski psychiatrist he interprets an Anti-social behavioral disorder and also shows psychopathic behavior. As I was watching this video I couldn’t help but deny that in fact, these actions are a result of a genetic pre-disposition. I’m reminded that this isn’t the first time I’ve viewed this video. However, I strongly believe if you are susceptible to bad behavior and suffer from mental illness indeed you are a product of your environment. Richard endured a great amount of abuse by both his parents. When a child endures abuse from his parents it can persuade the child to feel empty. Eventually, the will feel un-human and become un-human. I repeatedly tell myself he
Vik Muniz was born into a working-class family in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1961. As a young man he was shot in the leg whilst trying to break up a fight. He received compensation for his injuries and used this money to fund a trip to New York City, where he has lived and worked since the late 1980s. He began his career as a sculptor, but gradually became more interested in photographic reproductions of his work, eventually turning his attention exclusively to photography. He incorporates a multiplicity of unlikely materials into this photographic process. His work has been met with both commercial success and critical acclaim, and has been exhibited worldwide.

There are mainly two kinds of zakat which are Zakat ul-Fitr and Zakat al-mal. We should pay zakat because Allah (SWT) commands in Al-Quran, “Take alms out of their property, you would cleanse them and purify them thereby pray for them and surely your prayer is a relief to them and Allah is hearing and knowing.” [Al-Quran 9:103] Besides that, Allah will destroy Riba (usury) and will give increase for Sadaqat (deeds of charity, alms) Allah also likes not the disbelievers, sinners and whatever you give for interest to increase within the wealth of people will not increase with Allah. But what you give in Zakat, desiring the countenance of Allah - those are the multipliers.” [AlQuran 30:39]
