To compare two pieces of music from different cultures‚ it is a very difficult thing to do. Not physically‚ because they have the same components‚ such as rhythm‚ melody‚ and volume‚ but because they come from different cultures. How does one compare things that are completely different in origin‚ creation‚ and again‚ culture? I believe that the best possible way is to look at this is a mostly subjective manner. That said‚ I will attempt to do my best by looking at the examining the composition and

This “w. way of thinking” runs like a common thread through Scotts way of proceeding and through Benang. He admits that the research he did for writing a historical novel like Benang‚ was primarily based on documents‚ thus written sources. (Cf. Scott‚ 2001 169-70) It seems almost ironic that he critically addresses the very way of research and documentation in his novel that he used for his novel. Yet‚ this affirms what several scholars have pointed out as the essential attitude in writing history:

Historical Criticism for Night and Ru “Literature is deeply mired in its time.” (Gillespie‚ 1) This is the most basic way that a critic could describe the theory of Historical Criticism. In this theory‚ literature is interpreted not simply as a part of the writer’s oeuvre‚ but as literal reflection of the time period it was written. For instance‚ if we were to study a personal memoir like Night or Ru using this criticism‚ we would take the proverbial step back with a less empathetic approach‚ rather

Religion‚ language and music. Who knew that they make up our cultural identity. Culture is the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.

History itself is the study of past events that have occurred throughout the world. The importance of it is to supply people with factual details of the events. Therefore answering questions like Why a certain event happened? ‚ Who took part in the event?‚What was the result of the event?‚ and many more. Studying the history of our world is just getting information of what happened and you do not really get the details on how a certain event can impact the people during that specific time period

While the history of early African civilizations is not bound in books‚ it lives and breaths today in ways pieces of paper never could. Africa has followed a long-withstanding tradition of oral history‚ storytelling in a sense. It is through the eyes of these trained griots that the legends‚ culture‚ and history come alive. One of the most famous and cherished epics of the ancient world is that of Sogolon Djata‚ or Sundiata Keita. This story has been passed down through generations of griots

To fully understand a time and place one must immerse one’s self with the subject time period and people’s culture. Music‚ cuisine‚ current events‚ and even how history is conveyed assist the researcher. Fine arts help meet this end too‚ but combining fine art with the interpretation of historic events provides more depth of understanding. In other words‚ values are very much informed by culture and vice versa. Howard Chandler Christy‘s 1940 work demonstrates how the view of the Constitutional Convention

Everyone is different. While some are praised for it‚ others are mocked and ridiculed. An example of this can be found in the book “Golden Boy” by Tara Sullivan. The story follows young boy by the name Habo who was born different from others. Instead of having dark brown features like most of the citizens of Tanzania‚ he was born with light eyes‚ yellow hair‚ and even white skin; which surprisingly makes him even stand out among the white tourists that frequently visit the country.
