Navajo history and culture. Basketry Navajos are also known for their basket work. They believe the First Man and First Woman made baskets for ceremonial purposes.

Maarja Mägi 11B Christmas celebrations in Estonia In Estonia, Christmas time is considered to be the most important time of the year. In recent times, Christmases have grown to be more a commercial holiday. What is more, Estonian Christmas celebrations have been changed due to German cultural influences. Christmases in Estonia on the whole have two meanings: first one is to celebrate the birth of the Christ and secondly it marks the whole period of mid-winter festivities. In Estonia's folk tradition, Christmas (in Estonian "jõulud" is of ancient Scandinavian origin and has no connection with Christianity) was a time of year to celebrate the shortest day and longest night. At the same time, Christmas was the culmination of the late autumn celebrations. Christmas Eve and Christmas Night were the most sacred times of the season. Nowadays, Christmases ...

They were covered with detailed carvings. · Great artists were commissioned by rich and powerful members of society. · Paintings offered a perspective on the daily life and religious belief of the ancient Indians; many of these paintings could be found on the walls of temples. · Indian sculptors carved columns, statues, and entire temples in the likenesses of the Buddha and Hindu gods.
Tourists from all over the world traipse through the villages and this causes cultural and economic disaster. Also the benefits of toursim are often skimmed off by businessmen from outside the community. It ruins and changes the local peoples culture. The Masai of East Africa, for instance, are used as icons of exoticism in toursism, but they have been evicted from their lands. The Masais are selling souvenirs, charging for pictures and performing their sacred dances for tourists to get living. These things show that the destruction is not just a superficial consenquence of tourism, but is often an indication of much more deep-rooted cultural changes. But a quiet cultural revolution is happening. Communities are standing up and asking for something different. Over the last decade there has been a rapid growth in local ,,alternative tourism" initiatives. This means that buildings are built by locals with sustainable local
view where the approach is emotional and they are attrachted by some details and missing some. Secondly there is a analytic view, where they analyse the obvious and more symbolic meanings and find the relationships between them. Thirdly they see it in a syntetic way, where the global message is explained and enriched by the symbolic meanings. In other words at first they read it, then they analize it and in the end they verbalise the message(Mazzarello:108-109). The power of sacred art can be used for teaching purposes. In fact, religious art "makes possible a larger measure of desirable religious growth with the least waste of time and energy and with the greatest satisfaction to all concerned. In the interest of economy and efficiency it is recognized as an indispensible factor." Therefore, "the use of art in religious education is not a luxury." [Bailey, A. The Use of Art in Religious Education, The Abingdon Press: NY, 1922. p.9] Why is that true

Australia and provided (andsid) meat for the aboriginal hunters. Other areas were richer in vegetable food, but there was no organised agriculture or domesticated animals. Food therefore was not easy to obtain. Tribesmen recognized the tracks of animals and developed extraordinary skills in tracking their pray. 5. Traditions, arts and beliefs. The Aborigines blamed supernatural forces for all the events and used magic and ritual to get rid of evil spirits. Each of the clans had a special sacred place on their land where their spirits returned after death. The daily life and religious beliefs of Aborigines are best described in their paintings. Natural medicines from plants and roots were used to cure illnesses and the healing of the spirit was more important than the healing of the body. 6. European settlers Contact with British settlers began in 1788. The British, thinking that their culture was superior (parim), tried to impose (peale suruda) it on the native Aborigines

Aboriginal people were social beings as they lived together in groups. Their camps were comprised of number of gunyas or bark huts but people also lived in caves and in the open air. Some camps consisted of 10 people, some even more than 400 people. When children were born they were taught how to cope with the material and non- material elements of the world. There was a great emphasis on religion; all the children were taught the rhythms of dances in preparation for later participation in sacred and non- sacred rituals. Shortly after a child could walk he began to handle small spears, followed his father and other men to fishing. Little girls followed their mother and were taught all that was necessary for a mother to know. In Aboriginal society every person (particular every initiated male) was considered to be equal. No one had authority over anyone else in the sense of ruling them, but this is not to say that there weren't leaders

Johnny Hodgesi rikkalikud, tundelised soolod olid peaaegu vahetpidamata alates aastast 1928 peegeldanud Ellingtoni loomuse romantilist, sensuaalset ja impressionistliku poolt. Billy Strayhorn oli orkestri repetuaari rikastanud selliste väljapaistvate paladega nagu ,,Lush Life", ,,Chelsea Bridge" ja ,,Take the A-Train", mis oli saanud Ellingtoni orkestri teemalooks. Kuid Stayhrorni surm päästis Ellingtonis veel kord valla uued loomejõud.

"What`s in there?" he said, but no answer was given. The old man was dead. The soldier prayed in the name of the Queen and stood up. Whoever these creatures that destroyed this village were they are gone now. No other creepy noise followed, so the man decided to pay a visit to the church that was soon covered within furious flames. The door of the ancient building fell apart when the man came nearer to it. Somewhat he felt uncomfortable while entering the sacred place. "Weird," he said quietly "I`ve been to many churches before, but this place...it doesn`t remind me of any stile we`ve studied in the Royal Palace... Very interesting indeed...At first the cursed Devil`s Field and now what? A sanctuary of the Demons?" And the truth it was, because instead of the holy pictures, only war scenes were waiting for his eyesight. Enchanted by the scenary, he totally forgot that the village was still burning and so was the old church

In 1901, all the separate parts of Australia united into one country. Many of the people, who came to Australia to find gold, stayed there on to other kinds of work. They found that Australia has other riches such as coal, copper, iron, lead. The forests have much good timber. People were needed to buy and sell what was raised. Cities grew. But even today the big country is far from crowded. Its

Aborigines in northern Australia maintained trade with some of the Indonesian islands closest to the coast. Chinese and Arab's may have had contact with the Aborigines in the 15th century. When British people came to live in Australia, they decided that the land was empty, that there were no people living there. This was called "Terra nullius", Latin words for "empty land".Under British law, all land belongs to the king,who is then able to sell it to other people. The sacred sites and other land which had belonged to aboriginal people for thousands of years were simply taken from them. If they did not leave peacefully then the new settlers used force to get them to leave. Many aboriginal people were killed during the settlement of Australia. The aborigines that were left were made to live on in special areas, reservations, that the government set aside for them. One of these was at Lake Tyers, Victoria

Fuji is considered sacred and is a symbol of national identity, [19] in addition to being considered a symbol of beauty.[20] The dark color around Fuji seems to indicate that the image takes place early in the morning, with the sun rising from the point of the observer, and illuminating the snowy peak. Between the mountain and the viewer there are cumulonimbus clouds, and although they indicate a storm, there is rain on neither Fuji nor the main scene. [21] Boats
" Loveless smiled and replied quietly, "Sooner or later we'll join your forces and defeat them once and for all!" The other two exchanged a scared look, yet said nothing. The man was too angry to follow the conversation. Heartless left the "Devil's" orphanage and went to see the Royal Church, where all homeless people could stay for the night. At least she had heard so. She herself couldn't enter any church before, because the Puppet Master wanted them to stay away from all sacred placed he was a true Demon, after all! But finally, the long-wanted freedom had arrived! Of course, losing home was unpleasant, but fortunately it was spring, so there was time to live without worries until the first snowfall. It was evening indeed, so the temperature stayed around +5 Degrees only. Heartless was cold, yet she was used to it already. Much worse was walking in the dark. She knew the streets well, and yet there was an unexplainable fear in her little heart.
The British initially used it as a gigantic prison camp for convicts from Britain. Altogether 160 000 men, women and children were deported from Britain to Australia, where they led a very hard life. At the beginning of the19th century free settlers began to arrive from Britain in large numbers since it offered many stimulating opportunities. The Aborigines were cruelly suppressed, and it is only recently that white Australians have begun to acknowlege Aborigines' rights to their sacred lands. The settlers soon discovered that many of the animals as well as the plants of Australia were unlike those that were found anywhere else. Among te animals were kangaroos and wombats and koalas. They carry their babies in pouches. There were platypuses and spiny anteaters, too the only mammals in the world that lay eggs. Among the strange birds were emus, lyrebirds, and black swans. The early settlers on the coast were suht in between the mountains and the sea. For years
or years at a time. Lake Eyre is the largest lake in Australia and also the lowest point. One of the most beautiful things you can see in Australia is Uluru, also called Ayers Rock. It is an enormous rock in the middle of the desert in the Northern Territory. It is three kilometres long and nearly 2.5 kilometres high in total. It is 600 million years old, and it is the largest rock of its kind in the world. Uluru is a sacred place for the Aborigines. Thanks to Australia's isolation, it has plants and animals unlike anywhere else in the world. The kangaroo is the most well-known of them.

Both of those animals have pouches for their babies. Two very strange animals are the spiny anteater and the platypus

sociologists in explaining the importance of meaning when explaining social order. Meaning, which can be defined as a sum of common concepts and beliefs that enable cooperation, has been defined yet so differently by various sociologists. Emile Durkheim (Durkheim, 1912) tries to explain meaning by describing the importance of religion in social interactions, and by portraying the similarities between social interaction and religion. Society never stops creating sacred things. Durkheim (Durkheim, 1912) elaborates, that "when a belief is shared by all people, to deny or question it is forbidden." He brings an example of the right to free speech even if individuals' opinions differ gravely, in a civilized communication they will still respect the principle of free discussion. Durkheim assures that "we defer to society's orders not simply because it is equipped to overcome our resistance but, first and foremost, because it is the object of genuine respect"

Australian rocks are rich in gold, polymetallic ores, iron ore, copper, uranium. Much coal is mined in the sedimentary rocks of south-east. The greatest attraction in the Northern Territory is Uluru. It is a huge monolith rock, 862 metres above the sea level, rising out of the desert. The local Aborigines regarded it as a sacred site. No one is sure when the first Aborigines moved into the area but the best evidence suggests that it was at least 10000 years ago. The first graded road was built in 1948 on mount Uluru. Ayers Rock was created as a national park in 1950. Artistically Kata Tjuta is noted for its engravings and its rock piles whereas Uluru is famous for its rock paintings.

Sports. Sports has a very old history. The ancient Olympic Games were the first big sports competitions. The history of the Olympic Games is linked with many myths referred to in ancient sources, but in the historic years their founder is said to be Oxylos whose descendant Ifitos later rejuvenated the Games. According to the tradition, the Olympic Games began in 776 B.C. when Ifitos made a treaty with Lycourgos the king and famous legislator of Sparta and Cleisthenes the king of Pissa. In this treaty that was the decisive event for the development of the sanctuary as a Panhellenic centre, the "sacred truce" was agreed. That is to say ceasing of fighting in all of the Freek world for as long as the Olympic Games were on. The Olympic Games were held, after the completion of four years during the month of July or August. The time between two competitions was ca...
