LITERATURE REVIEW The Definition of Culture Culture is defined with different terms depending on the time and personal idea of the scholar and for that reason it is a really complex phenomenon. Kramsch(1998) defines culture as ‘membership in a discourse community that shares a common social space and history‚ and common imaginings.(p.10). On the other hand‚ Liddicoat‚ Papademetre ‚ Scarino and Kohler(2003) describe culture as a complex system of concepts‚ attitudes‚ values‚ beliefs‚ conventions

more volumes. The total lung capacity (TLC) is a measurement of the total amount of air that the lung can hold; normally it is 6 litters for adult male and 4.2 litters for an adult female. The vital capacity (VC) measures the maximum amount of air that can be inhaled or exhaled during a respiratory cycle. The Residual Volume (RV) is the amount of gas remaining the lungs after a maximal expiration; normally it takes up 20% of the total lung capacity. VC + RC = TLC. The Inspiratory Reserved Capacity (IRC)

Gas chromatography (GC) is a chromatography technique where the separation of individual components (analytes) from a sample relies on their differing distribution between a mobile and stationary phase. The mobile phase carries the analytes through the stationary phase. In GC‚ it’s an inert gas (usually helium or nitrogen). The gas must be inert‚ so it won’t react with the sample to give a false reading. The stationary phase is a substance fixed in place to which the sample adsorbs because

“Mahatma Gandhi was the spokesman for the conscience of mankind”(Fischer 8). Gandhi was a person who believed that killing any living thing was a repugnant action. He followed a strict ritual were he wouldn’t stand and walk in the middle of the night‚ fearing that he might step on a bug. He was a person that always craved harmony withing his surroundings.

Phosphoric acid was used as a catalyst in the synthesis to speed up the process. Esterification is involved and the final product is aspirin with the presence of acetic acid as the byproduct. In order to create the powder form of aspirin‚ the process of crystallization was conducted and was run through vacuum filtration. After running through
