1. One of the favourite gods of the Algonquin Indians was Glooskap. His name means ‘’ The Liar’’. When the Indians called him by this names it meant to pay him a very high compliment. He fought against monsters, the witch, giants, magicians etc. after that when his last victory pleased him mightily, and the next day he walked through the forest finding more evil creatures to destroy them. He entered the wigwam of an Indian but, the man was absent, and he saw his wife with her baby Wasis sucking piece of sugar. Glooskap told the women about his victories, she laughed aloud she dared Glooskap a creature her baby and, dared him you will never conquer him first time. He tried to talk to the baby, just ignored him that was very insulting, he grew up and rushed from the hut, when a baby cries ‘’GOO GOO’’ Indians say that he is remembering how Wasis successfully resisted the great god Glooskap.…
“He [Tom] stared at the white mountain, the center, the great mother, and tried to feel what it had meant to his tribe. They had woven it over thousands of years into their stories, telling themselves who they were and would always be in relation to the beautiful peak. Through their relationship with the mountain, they knew they were significant, a people to reckoned with upon the earth. Away in four directions the world streamed, and Dakobed was the center, a reference point for existence.…
Every society creates or follows a belief system and typically bases their community off of their beliefs and values. In Ancient China, a major belief structure that hatched was Confucianism which is the idea of life is to carry out a role in society with…
ABSTRACT: In this lab, we are using a BioRad protein assay dye to determine the concentration of protein in our chicken. The dye binds to the amino acid residues, which allow us to find the concentration of protein (BioRad Protein Assay for Tissues). Our hypothesis was the longer chicken is cooked the less protein is available. To test our hypothesis, we made samples using our chicken and distilled water to determine how much protein was in the chicken. We found that our data supported our hypothesis; it showed that the longer our chicken was cooked the less protein that was in the chicken. As the chicken is cooked longer, the protein is denatured by the heat.…
In the course of that long migration (the Kiowa) had come of age as a people. They had conceived a good idea of themselves; they had dared to imagine and determine who they were…(therefore,) the way to Rainy Mountain is preeminently the history of an idea, men’s idea of himself (Rainy Mountain 4)…
Finally, Belief, which is stated to mirror a person’s conviction that he or she should obey legal rules. ‘the opinions and impressions that are dependant on constant social reinforcement comprise belief’ (Lilley et al 1995:110). The person will most likely conform to the social norms if they believe in them. Hirishi felt that belief refers to the existence of a common value system within the society whose norms are being violated.…
Scott Momaday uses nature to dictate the passage of life. He personifies the landscape as a person, he says the there is ‘perfect in the mountains but it belongs to the eagle and the elk, the badger and the bear.’ To me, this tells me the mountains have a feeling of openness, but it is the home of many – not just humans. The mountain holds importance to the Kiowa’s because it is pure wilderness. The landscape that is described helps the reader recognize what the Kiowa’s were thinking upon reaching rainy mountain. The beautiful sights of the land made the Kiowa’s recognize a new passage of life. Their curiosity of the land’s landscape created legends in their tribe. The legends…
If we all stuck to our own beliefs we would all be alone and feel different from all others. By showing understanding and respect we can learn and respect each other and make for a happier place to be.…
An acceptance that a statement is true or that something exist is known as a belief. Many people have many different types of beliefs with all different viewpoints and reasonings to back themselves up. Believing in something is an important part of society because of its causes people to do many different things. People that negatively affect society need to be taken care of and people that are not afraid to speak up can have a powerful impact. During tough times, speaking out against others, trying to change society by inspiring others, and avoiding doubt motivate people to stand up for themselves, others, and their beliefs despite the possible consequences.…

Both The Living Moutain from Landmarks by Robert Macfarlane and “Time Honoured” written by Mora Campbell and Peter Timmerman offer literature that focuses on understanding our relationship to nature in distinct types of ways. In relation to Macfarlane (2015), the reader is able to gain an understanding that this pasageage draws upon interacting with nature in a different sense. For instance, Macfarlane (2015) explains, that Shepherds mountain experience was much more than gaining success to climb the mountain. To shepherd, it was not about aiming for the highest point on the mountain but rather to go into the mountain aimlessly to reach a deeper type of connection. Her intentions were merly to be with the mountain in order to explore the nature…
With 25,000 dollars, one could buy a luxury car or even put a down payment on a home. On Christmas Day though, that was the amount of money spent on a pair of courtside seats to watch the Los Angeles Lakers play the Miami Heat in the Staples Center (ticketmaster.com). From high school to the professional level, contemporary basketball maintains a distinct level of media attention and focus unlike any other sport. High-flying dunks and last second buzzer beaters go viral on the Internet within minutes and are broadcasted all over the world. Arenas, capable of holding tens of thousands of spectators, sell out to fans displaying their team spirit through jerseys, face paint, and team colors. All the while, premier professional basketball stars, a majority of whom are African American, are at the center of American popular culture and are closely observed on a daily basis. In this paper I will be addressing the impact that urbanization and class relations has had on the development of basketball through much of the 19th and 20th centuries.…
I believe that God exists, that he is part of the Holy Trinity that consists of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. I believe that a human being is made up of the physical, mental, and spiritual and is unable to function without all three parts equally invested. The value of Human life is massive in my worldview, it is to be cherished and protected. The meaning of life is all geared towards living a good life and being a good supportive human being to our fellow brothers and sisters. We are all striving to reach heaven and our foretold, euphoric ever after beside our Holy Father. These four beliefs are held strongly in a Christian worldview and are strong beliefs in my own…
but nevertheless, everyone is approaching life based upon one. We believe that a worldview based upon…
First of all, I chose Leonid Afremov because I admire the quality of his work. Before I chose him as my subject, I did check out other artists like David Clerihew who specializes in photography, portraits, landscapes & film. There is Marcel Christ as well, whose forte is still life and also dabbles in personal work and film. Benedict Redgrove on the other hand, does a little of everything such as photography, landscapes, epic set-ups and still life. I had to really think hard on Sam Logan because her line of art is my weakness. She is a stylist thereby her expertise is in clothing designs, set designs, and also experiments on still life.I almost picked her but Afremov’s work moved me more because it communicated to me.…
