The Korean Traditional Dances
... that they couldn't express in every day life. Now the t'alchum is kind of an entertainment instead of a traditional dance.
Koreans have had always a deep love for music and dance. Korean dance is devided into three main types: court, folk and religious. The court dancing is slow and solemn. The dancers that go with that kind of music are highly stylized. Folk dance in contrast, is usually fast and lively. Folk dances are that's why danced usually in festivals or holidays. The religious dances represent the Korean culture and spirit. The performers in Buddhist Nun's Dance, which is a religious dance, are wearing long dark coats and pointed Hoods and hold ...

Dreams Life
... term and spirit memory. It kicks around emotions, thoughts, ideas, actions and interactions of the short term memory. All this data as well as your subconcious of what people do and tell you, are all processed as a dream (Central 104). One study of dreaming strongly suggests that it is a primary means by which we form and evaluate our survival strategies. Other sleep studies have shown that dreams and dreaming are essential to our mental health ( Howell 105). Together these sudies emphasize the psychological importance of dreams and dreaming. They show how our consciousness maintains its delicate balance. Ken Howell suggests why consciousness is like a scale bal ...

A Tale
... exploited and plundered the poor until they were driven to extreme measures. Nowhere is that more evident than in Dickens’ portrayal of the Marquis St. Evremonde. This nobleman is the poster-child of selfish privilege. He is uncaring and has no respect for life. This is especially apparent when he cold-heartedly runs down an innocent child with his carriage. “But for the latter inconvenience, the carriage would probably not have stopped; carriages were often known to drive on, and leave their wounded behind, and why not?” In payment for the inconvenience, Monseigneur throws a single coin to the child’s parent. How well this personifies exactly how cold and unsympa ...

Intercultural Miscommunication
... up by different societies. Most people who learn another language by another way than emersion learn the formal way of speaking a specific language and therefore when slang words, or idiomatic sentences are used, it comes across as either funny, rude or confusing. In the English language, saying words such as “gonna” and “hafta” seem normal to those who have spoke English their entire lives, however to a person who has just learned English, formally, these words would seem confusing. They are taught to say “going to” and “have to” and hence, making more room for misunderstanding situations between cultures. A sentence such as “we are in the same boat” would see ...

Exams Are Unfair Assessments Of Progress
... exams because they
can not get good marks in their exams and they can not stand the pressure of
their parents. In addition, many students usually forget all of the things that
they have already learned when they are taking their exams because they are too
nervous, but they can remember all the things again after they finish their
exams. Also, many students suffer insomnia because they are too worry about
their exams. They do not have enough sleep, so they can not do well in their
exams.
Secondly, the exam results of the students are not reliable. Some
students cheat in the exams. For example, they just copy the answers from their
cheating papers to the ...

Men And Women
... were confined to the home to take care of the domestic housekeeping duties.
Look no further than the home to see the first sign that are not equal. The traditional role of the man was to work, and the money he made would be used by all in the household. The traditional role of the woman was to stay home, take care of the children, clean the house, and cook. Because society has always associated money with power, the person bringing home the money had the power. The man often makes the final decision on all household matters because he has the money.
The workplace is another place where are not equal. The most obvious sign starts at the top. Look at the CEO o ...

Building Effective Teams
... is used to improve the effectiveness of work groups by focusing on any of the following four purposes: setting goals and priorities, deciding on means an methods, examining the way in which the group works, and exploring the quality of working relationships. A cycle then develops; it begins with the awareness or perception of a problem and is followed sequentially by data collection, data sharing diagnosis, action planning, action implementation, and behavioral evaluation. This style is repeated as new problems are identified.
Not all work groups are teams. Reilly and Jones (1974) list four essential elements of teams: goals, interdependence, commitment, a ...

Labor In America
... of them would not. They believed that
sooner or later factory workers would be exploited and would sink into
hopeless poverty. Economic "laws" would force them to work harder and
harder for less and less pay. How, then, were the factory owners able
to recruit farm girls as laborers? They did it by building decent
houses in which the girls could live. These houses were supervised by
older women who made sure that the girls lived by strict moral
standards. The girls were encouraged to go to church, to read, to
write and to attend lectures. They saved part of their earnings to
help their families at home or to use when they got mar ...

Backpacking: A Different Way Of Camping
... A person is limited to the vehicle's capacity to
carry or tow. For example, a camper will bring a stove, a twelve man tent, two
coolers of meat and potatoes, five gallons of water, and maybe tow a camper. On
the other hand, when backpacking, the circumstances are very different. One is
limited to his or her own capabilities: the amount of weight that can be
carried, endurance levels, just to name a few. Provisions must be carefully
measured. If overloaded, it can affect performance while hiking to one's
destination, but if not enough provisions are carried it, will impact how long
one can last out in the wilderness. The equipment must be minute in size ...

Stupidity
... to . The first advantage is very easy to understand. Stupid people are never asked to do a lot. Many have noticed that people tend to steer away from someone they feel may be stupid. This is for a very good reason. The which they posses makes a name for themselves, a name which can be very difficult to shake. Yet, this creates a positive situation for the stupid person. They will have a lot of free time on their hands for more of life's truly meaningful pleasures. Now, there has been a rumor going around that suggests that stupid people have low expectations. This is true. They are so stupid that they donut realize great from O.K. They could have a cordless phone ...
