...Bali as a work of Art Art as central activity of Balinese life We have no art, we do everything the best we can Why Bali focus on art? Bali is example of sociocentric culture Persona-based self: It is the dramatis personae, not actore, tha Dramatis persone: Persona = Mask, the mask the not only put on the faces, point the certain role A face a people wear represent the role that they suppose to play.

...Indonesia has more than 17,000 islands, and it’s the largest archipelago in the world. Each island has different cultures and languages. Regardless of all the diversity and an overwhelming size, the heart and soul of Indonesia can be represented by two islands, Java and Bali. This includes Indonesia's capital city of Jakarta. Balinese culture is one of the most outstanding aspects of Indonesia. Even though Bali and Jakarta are located in the same country, the cultures are significantly different from each other. The majority of Balinese cultures are based on their religion which is Hinduism. Therefore, Balinese have kept most of their traditional culture for centuries. On the other hand, Jakarta is a metropolis city and a lot more diverse and westernized compare to Bali. Some of the most outstanding features of Balinese culture include ceremonies of marriage, birth and death, holidays, social customs, unique time concepts, meaning of colors, ethical values, verbal and non-verbal communications. This paper will explore a more detailed overview of Balinese culture compare to the westernized culture of Jakarta. II. Balinese Culture compared to Jakarta Bali’s island is located just south of the equator and east of Java. Bali consists of active volcanoes, tropical rain forests and is surrounded by a variety of beautiful beaches.

...Management state that the different internal functions of a WTS interact to form the ‘single functional structure’. The internal systems required to constitute a WTS were outlined by Leiper in 2004: at least one tourist, at least one tourist generating region, at least one tourist route region, at least one tourist destination, as well as a travel and tourism industry facilitating movement within the system. Whole Tourism System theory is the concept of a number of both internal and external ‘interdependencies, energy flows and interactions’. The 1930s saw the emergence of systems theory to describe phenomenon that are ordinarily too complex. To explain the factors and elements of a World Tourism System this essay will use the Australia to Bali tourist system as an example to explain how each element functioning singularly creates a WTS. Within a whole tourism system tourists play the most valuable role. Tourism is essentially human experience and the enjoyment an individual gains from a destination. The geographical elements within a WTS are the tourist generating region, tourist destination region and the transit route region. The tourist generating region (TGR) within a whole tourism system is related to the demand part of tourism; here people gather information on destinations and this region is the ‘push zone’ for an individual to set off on travel. A tourist destination region (TDR) is generally the main component in convincing people to travel. The TDR is where the main...

...battles over status rather than battles over money. To my beliefs, it seemingly appears that the article could be considered slightly agnostic due to the fact that Geertz believes ones status and character can be defined through the distinguished success of their fighting cock. However, I would like to argue that this should not be taken as truth. In other words, I suggest that in the event and processes of cockfights are only symbolizing the idea of establishing power of ranks in Balinese villages. The main purpose of the article is the interpretation of different cultures. At first, Geertz was failing to conduct his research adequately due to the lack of recognition of existence that he and his wife were receiving from the people of Bali. Eventually however, after participating to flee from a raid at the local cockfight, the villagers found amusement in the tourists’ actions, breaking the tension, and then generally accepting Geertz and his wife. This was the turning point in the author’s quest and it is what made the observations and interviews possible between Geertz and the villagers. The author is writing about the problem of explaining why...

...Bali & Java Resorts, Retreats and Pool Villas ElEgant REsoRts & Villas of Bali The island of the gods The island of Bali is among the most popular stops in Indonesia - the island’s people, culture, rhythmic dances, volcanoes, sculptured rice paddies, spectacular beaches, and beautiful scenery, combined with a stunning array of accommodations, make it a delectable place to visit. The Balinese dedicate themselves to a vibrant and elaborate set of beliefs and an intriguing culture. Scores of sacred holidays and festivals are celebrated each year with ritual and pageantry. Ubiquitous palmleaf offertory plates are replenished daily with flowers and fruit to honour the deities and placate evil spirits. Thousands of temples and altars dot the fertile landscape, rising from rice terraces and family compounds in rural hamlets that have remained mostly unchanged for a thousand years or more. Humble caretakers for the gods, the Balinese have also been blessed with the inherently unselfish gift of hospitality. So Bali is an obvious choice for the plethora of heavenly hideaways that the island has to offer. The name “Ubud” comes from a word that means “medicine” the area is well-known amongst locals for the medicinal plants which grow there and for Como to locate two well-being resorts there makes perfect sense.

...as well as alcoholism and drug abuse. Admittedly international tourism does have the potential to foster greater understanding and tolerance between people who are from different countries with different cultural background. however, this is unlikely to occur while it remains such a potent symptom of western cultural domination and moral decadence The even more disturbing, though, is the environmental degradation that international tourism has cause in many parts of the world. A particular good example of this is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia - the countless boats, divers and snorkelers that have visited the reef over the past few decades have gradually destroyed vast section of coral. Similarly, world renowned Kuta Beach in Bali has become heavily polluted in recent years. In order to be sustainable, greater regulation of global tourism is required. In conclusion, the challenges presented by the booming international tourist industry are numerous and complex. Although they are by no means insurmountable, it’s highly unlikey that they will be resolved in the foreseeable...

...In 21th century, many things have become more convenient and easier to complete. Traveling around the world is possible in modern world. In the past, you need to apply to Visa. Now, more and more governments offer tourist Visa to foreign. You can enter any country easily. However; this also lowers the safety inspection. It may cause some problems, such as terrorist activities. The situation has two. One is that the foreigners go to other countries and do threaten there. Another one is the local people force tourists to pay money or put them in danger. The local people just want to show something scared to government so they scarified the tourists. For example, it happened in the tourist district of Kuta, Bali, Indonesia, on 12 October 2012. The attack was claimed as the deadliest act of terrorism in the history of Indonesia according to the current police general. 202 people were killed, including 88 Australian, 38 Indonesian and 5 Swedish citizens. About 240 people were injured. (Amy Zalman, Ph.D., 2002) This was caused by a violent Islamist group. They caused another bombing in 2005. When this happened, it made the market of tourism in Indonesia go down sharply, not only affected one area but also whole Indonesia. This is an unexpected situation but a really big issue in Asia Pacific. It happened in many countries. Another example is Manila hostage crisis which happened on August 23, 2010.

...(Un)arranged Marriage “(Un)arranged Marriage” is the novel, written by Bali Rai, that deals with the issues of arranged marriages and living in two cultures at the same time. By telling the story of the protagonist Manjit or “Manny”, as he is often called, Rai provides the reader an insight into Indian traditions and some of the conflicts that could arise when a family suffers from lack of tolerance towards other opinions. Manny is born in Britain and lives in Leicester with his very traditional Indian family who has different views from his own. His family wants to force him to follow these traditions and among other things marry at the age of seventeen to a girl of their choice.

...Drive through any given village in Bali and you’ll see vibrantly colored fighting roosters in woven cages pecking at the green-tipped grass at their feet. Come later and you’ll see the cocks taken out of their cages to be stroked and caressed by local men who sit together, enjoying the last rays of sunshine while discussing the qualities of their proud and elegant birds. Bali, like many other nations, has banned cock fighting as a cruel sport, although the practice is still allowed on the Island of the Gods for ceremonial purposes. These fighting birds are as much a part of Balinese Hindu rites as the burning of incense and giving offerings to the gods. Breeding the roosters, some of which boast feathers with a golden luster that evokes songket, takes place up in the cool, mountainous region above Gianyar. In a small hamlet called Malet, the birds are big business. Village head I Ketut Ludea says that while Malet raises about 600 roosters every year, most are sold to other communities nearby. The rest are used for local ceremonies. “In our village we must sacrifice birds before turning the soil to plant our crops, so we need around 250 birds for these ceremonies,” Ludea says. “We can sell the other 350 birds, which does not make this our most important revenue for the village, but a side job that many of us use for the education of our children.” Such children include Ledea’s 12-year-old grandniece, who studies English twice a week in nearby Tampak Siring...

PSY111- Foundations of Psychology for Health and Human Services Exercise 1- Memory Question 1- Summary: (253 words) Grant, H. M., Lane, B.C., Clay, J., Ferrie, J., Groves, J.E., McDorman, T. A., Dark, V.J. (1998). Context-dependent memory for meaningful material: information for students. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 12, 617-623. This study tested whether the environmental context dependency effect is seen through test performances where matched and mismatched study and test noise conditions were used. Throughout the study, the researcher used the same text to test the difference context dependency has on short answer (recall) and multiple choices (recognition). Using previous research that has shown that characteristics of environment are encoded in the memory, and can be used to retrieve other information; the researchers changed whether or not there was general background noise in controlled study and test conditions and measured the results based on performance in the test. Overall, studying and testing in the same environment resulted in better performance than in mismatching studying environments. This study also found that, unlike in Smith (1986, as cited in Grant 1998), the context dependency effect for newly learned material is seen regardless of whether short answer or...
