Roars of Traditional Leaders - Chai Charles Moua - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Roars of Traditional Leaders - Chai Charles Moua - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The aim of this book is to sustain the Mong cultural practices. It is based on the roaring views of fifteen Mong traditional leaders about the oral and cultural practices of the Mong people in the U.S. Maintaining the cultural legacies of a group of indigenous people such as the Mong Americans is imperative since they have more than 5,000 years of cultural traditions.The cultural and oral practices of the Mong New Year celebration, marriage custom, and traditional funeral rituals have been challenged as a result of the Mong migration from China, often through other host countries, to the United States. The Mong traditional leaders have been the vocal voices that are influential in regard to maintaining the Mong traditional culture. Roars of Traditional Leaders discusses this leadership role, a key component of organization development and transformation, played by contemporary leaders in the challenge of sustaining the Mong’s rich cultural traditions in America. Leaders will have to come together in the discussion of cultural practices and traditions in the century to come.

Traditional Islamic Environmentalism - Tarik M. Quadir - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Traditional Islamic Environmentalism - Tarik M. Quadir - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

This work examines the relevance of traditional Islamic thought and practices for a lasting solution to the current environmental crisis. Quadir describes how Seyyed Hossein Nasr challenges Muslims to reclaim their traditional intellectual and Sufi heritage as powerful means toward a most thoughtful approach to the crisis. In so doing, Nasr urges us to take a critical look at the consequences of the worldviews generated by modern science and technology and offers bold solutions for a more caring relationship between man and nature. The book argues that only a revival of the traditional worldview which perceives all entities of nature as signs of God can effectively respond to the crisis our planet faces.

Women in Traditional Chinese Theater - Qian Ma - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Women in Traditional Chinese Theater - Qian Ma - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Women in Traditional Chinese Theatre seeks to introduce Western readers to Chinese classical drama as well as investigate how women have traditionally been portrayed on stage by presenting original translations of six plays from the fourteenth to twentieth centuries. Framed with a comprehensive introduction to the Chinese theatre and its representation of women, each play is preceded by an interpretative summary of the plot, and an analysis of each play''s theme and significance. The selections in this volume feature women representing the most popular female archetypes in Chinese literature: the paragon of virtue, the stoic sufferer, the faithful wife, the femme fatal, and others. Appealing to both scholars and general enthusiasts of theatre, literature, and women''s studies, this book reveals how the cultural constructs of Chinese women are represented in dramatic literature, and how the theatre, in turn, shapes this representation into the cultural perception of women.

The Polarized Congress - Charles Tiefer - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Polarized Congress - Charles Tiefer - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Polarized Congress: The Post-Traditional Procedure of Its Current Struggles argues that the rise of the polarized Congress means a totally different Congressional procedure, especially after 2007, compared to the accustomed "traditional" one. Polarized Congress explores a host of lesser-known, even sometimes below the radar, aspects of the post-traditional or polarized model. These range from "ping-ponging" of major measures between chambers (without conferencing), to the Senate Majority Leader''s new "toolkit". They go from the now-crucial "Hastert Rule" in the House, to the astonishment of legislating the Affordable Care Act by singular procedures including budget reconciliation. The book challenges the easy assumption, especially by the non-specialist press, that Congressional procedure is descending into nothing more than chaotic brutishness or eternal stalemate. Instead, it explains the transformation of the traditional model about "how a bill becomes a law" before 2000, into the new current model in which Congress acts very differently.

Original Sin Explained? - Charles E. Warren - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Discoveries by human genetic scientists in the fields of molecular genetics, phylogenetics, and behavioral genetics utilizing traditional scientific methods support the biological claims of the traditional church doctrine of original sin. Original Sin Explained reveals how human genetic science seems to warrant not only the church''s biological claims but also provide a possible explanation of how human nature was altered so that death and the propensity to sin became natural phenomena of human nature.

Prelude to Struggle - Katie Day - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Prelude to Struggle - Katie Day - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In Prelude to Struggle, Katie Day analyzes the findings of a three-year study of the African American churches in North Philadelphia, the most impoverished section of the city. All of these congregations were engaged in significant community economic development projects, yet pursued their common goals through two distinct strategic approaches. Five of the churches joined a citywide community organizing coalition while the others stayed within the traditional entrepreneurial paradigm. Day argues that whether an urban African American congregation utilizes the more grassroots, confrontational tactics and structural change orientation of community organizing, or relies on the traditional model of the entrepreneurial pastor, the choice of strategy is not related to either congregational factors or pastoral leadership considered in isolation.

Minority and Mainstream Children's Development and Academic Achievement - - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Presently, school populations represent a culturally and linguistically diverse student body. Students are put at risk of failure in the school environment due to overlooked developmental factors and external socio-historical factors. Due to this shift in diversification, non-traditional educational needs must be recognized. This work offers a comparative and alternative framework for students and faculty to address this contemporary challenge. It presents a unique, state-of-the-art, ecological, and multidimensional view of the differential effect of socio-cultural and socioeconomic factors on the development of both minority and majority students. The database studies illustrate methodological advances in the field of ethnic research and provide solutions for traditional methodological problems.

Family Ties - Gary Wyatt - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Family Ties - Gary Wyatt - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Relying on a decade-long participant observation study, this book focuses on the salience of parent-child relationships for home schooling. Those experiences with traditional schools emerge as a major motive for home schooling. The quality of the relationships that develop between parents and children are the major predictor of a successful home schooling experience. Comparing the socialization between traditional schooling and home schools, Family Ties: Relationships, Socialization and Home Schooling investigates significant controversies in these two separate environments. Professor Gary Wyatt is able to represent a parent with both experiences and contends to dispel the typical home schooling critiques. The efforts of home schooling parents to negotiate favorable identities with others and the techniques used to manage the anxiety associated with this unconventional lifestyle are explored.

On Organizational Citizenship - Richard A. Barker - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

On Organizational Citizenship - Richard A. Barker - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

On Organizational Citizenship is a unique application of classic political philosophy and metaphysics to organizational theory. Using this new and highly integrative approach to organizations and organizational behavior, this book proposes that organizations have a constitutional structure rather than a culture, and that much of the traditional role of government in society has shifted from the state to the corporation. What it means to be an organizational citizen in this form of government is explored in terms of ethics, social and political processes, governing structure, and the limitations of traditional models of organizational behavior. Organizations are conceptualized as constitutionally based political communities with constitutional structures that determine outcomes and define the parameters for citizenship and civic responsibility. On Organizational Citizenship examines the implications of organizational citizenship and how this shift might redefine the role of national government.
