...One of the main characters in the film Slum Dog Millionaire, directed by Danny Boyle is Salim. He is a slum dog who originally comes from the slum in India. He is the brother of Jamal who is a contestant on a game show called: “Who wants to be a millionaire”. In the first round of the game show, Jamal wins 10 million rupees, and only lacks one question from winning 20 million rupees. Since he is a slumdog, and could not possibly know all these answers, they accuse him of cheating. The whole movie shows why he actually know all of the answers, not because he is particularly smart, but because of happenings in his life. I would say that Salim is a round character. When we first see him, he is a little boy in the slum who watches his mother getting brutally killed right in front of his eyes. Salim and his brother Jamal is now on their own. In the start both of the brothers is kind of similar and equal. But after they meet Lateeka and end up in the house with all the future beggars, we can see that the Salim is developing. He is a much more rough character than Jamal, and is quickly given a “leader” position in the house. He is loud and is not afraid of saying what he thinks. When he finds out that they is going to make Jamal blind, he shows a good side of himself and rescues them. When they find Latheeka again after many years separated from her, Salim changes and throws Jamal out of an empty apartment they find. Again we see that he is a “bad” boy. And whole through the film we...

...our conversation you said it was alright to get this into you late. As I was in the hospital for more testing. Roy In this essay I will discuss discusses the way in which the Sikhism religion was developed. I will discuss the ideas that I think are most central to the meaning and practices of Sikhism. Known as one of the younger faiths Sikhism is the fifth largest religion of the world. Sikhs follow a strict code of conduct called the Sikh Rahit Marayada. One unique distinguishing characteristic of the Sikhs is that they wear turbans; they do this because it is an old tradition since the beginning of their religion. Shi Guru Nanak Dev Ji founded the Sikhism religion when he had a vision he wrote down his teachings. His wrote praises to God that were more like hymns. Nine Gurus thought to be reincarnations of Shi Guru Nanak Dev Ji, continued the movement one by one also writing down their teachings. All the teachings were compiled into the Holy Scripture known as Shi Guru Granth Sahib. Thes Sikhism scriptures like the Bible are thought to be from God and given to the Sikh Guru’s. The Shi Guru Granth Sahib like the Bible contains both hymns and scripture. It starts with a simple statement of belief called the Moon Mantra. However the Sikhi regards the Shi Guru Granth Sahib with uttermost respect and views it as a living Guru. Unlike Christians few Sikh’s possess a copy of the Guru Granth Sahib, in order to do so they would have a room designated just for it. In order...

...tale behind its conception, origin and inhabitation.sic. A legend which harbours stories about its past, lays bare its present and insinuates about its future. Suchstories are often carried on by word of mouth, until they are accepted at large. Mkt is one such place which has heart-rending tales of love, separation, agony, anguish, fractured identities, languished dreams and aspirations, all residing in this relatively obscure place of the capital city of india. Going by the knowledge of the Sikhs at the gurudwara, The place is believed to have been named after Majnu, a local, sufi mystic named Abdullah. When he was not…….. , he used to ferry people across the Yamuna river and launch into a eulogy for the divine. Finally, guru nanak dev ji, the first sikh guru met him on july 20, 1505. It is said that so impressed was guru by his devotion that he blessed him, naming the place after him. Hence the mound/tilla became mkt. The reason why this story/tale is pertinent to our discourse is because it is symptomatic of the strong presence of Sikhism as a religion and the relevance of sikh beliefs. The residential settlements comprise of aruna nagar, new aruna nagar and old chandrawal village. The Tibetan...

...Running head: HEALTH CARE PROVIDER AND FAITH DIVERSITY Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity Tina D. Grand Canyon University: HLT-310V 6-28-2012 Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity In nursing, patients from many different backgrounds end up needing care. Nurses need to know their own faith, morals, and values when caring for these patients. When a nurse knows how they feel personally they will then need to learn about different backgrounds they may have to care for. Religious beliefs are a huge factor when patients are deciding what kind of care they want. Looking at different religions and how they perceive health and health care is very important in the learning process in how to take care of patients from different backgrounds or religions. In a comparison to Christianity: the Aboriginal faith community, Christian Science faith community, and Sikh faith community will be looked at. Aboriginal faith community includes people of Canada. They include more than fifty cultural language groups within Canada (Linda, 2009). In the Aboriginal faith community they believe health is holistic and is a balance of all aspects of life including physical, mental emotional, and spiritual. As Christians request anointing with oil during illness or when close to death Aboriginals do what is called smudging. Smudging is burning sweetgrass, sage, cedar and tobacco. Traditional healers or medicine men are the ones who perform smudging techniques...

...The Mool Mantar (also spelt Mul Mantra) is the most important composition contained within the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of the Sikhs; it is the basis of Sikhism. The word "Mool" means "main", "root" or "chief" and "Mantar" means "magic chant" or "magic portion". Together the words "Mool Mantar" mean the "Main chant" or "root verse". It’s importance is emphasised by the fact that it is the first composition to appear in the holy Granth of the Sikhs and that it appears before the commencement of the main section which comprises of 31 Raags or chapters. The Mool Mantar is said to be the first composition uttered by Guru Nanak Dev upon enlightenment at the age of about 30. Being the basis of Sikhism it encapsulates the entire theology of Sikhism. When a person begins to learn Gurbani, this is the first verse that most would learn. It is a most brief composition encompassing the entire universally complex theology of the Sikh faith. It has religious, social, political, logical, martial and eternal implication for human existence; a truly humanitarian and global concepts of the Supreme power for all to understand and appreciate. This Mantar encompasses concepts which have been evaluated and proven over many eras (or yugs) and known to be flawless beyond any ambiguity what so ever. The rest of Japji sahib that follows this mantar is said to be a eloboration of the main mantar and that the rest of the Guru Granth Sahib totalling 1430 pages, is a detailed amplification...

...My choice to compare two religions with so many similarities as Islam and Sikhism is mainly based on the fine, but very distinct differences and the interesting fact that they geographically meet in the Punjab Region between India and Pakistan. When comparing the factual data like number of followers and geographical distribution, it becomes clear that Islam is the heavyweight of the two. Islam with it’s over one billion followers of many different ethnicities and nationalities is the second largest religion in the world. Sikhism is the fifth largest with about 20 million followers. Geographically the difference is even bigger: while Islam is the dominating religion in an area reaching from North & Western Africa all the way to Indonesia, Sikhism is locally very concentrated in the Punjab Region covering parts of Eastern Pakistan and Northwest India with Diaspora concentrations in the US and in the United Kingdom. The cause of this discrepancy is the fact that Islam is a universalist religion and is very actively seeking converts. Sikhism is more of an ethnic religion, which lacks this trait, even though it is principally open to converts. Both religions are strictly monotheistic at their cores. Muslims, the followers of Islam, believe in Allah or God being the one and only God who is the essence of everything. Their holy book, the Qur’an , which was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed in the 7th century CE, is considered to be God’s direct word. The Prophet Mohammed is considered...

The Sikh marriage is a very special ceremony in which two individuals are joined in a equal partnership. It is joyous and festive event which is very family orientated and informal in it's atmosphere. Sikh marriages are usually arranged with families acting as little more than introduction services.

Georgoff and Robert G. Murdick E arly in 1984, the Houston-based COMPAQ Computer Corporation, manufacturer of IBMcompatible microcomputers, faced a decision that would profoundly affect its future. Recognizing that IBM would soon introduce its version of the portable computer and threaten COMPAQ’s dominance in this profitable market, the company had two options. It could elect to specialize in this product line and continue to market its highly regarded portables aggressively, or it could expand market offerings to include desktop microcomputers. The latter move would force the year-old company to confront IBM on its home ground. Moreover, COMPAQ would have to make a substantial investment in product development and working capital and expand its organization and manufacturing capacity. COMPAQ’s management faced several important unknowns, including the potential market’s size, structure, and competitive intensity. Management recognized that the company’s vitality might seriously erode if it did not expand its product line. If the expansion were successful, COMPAQ might enjoy economies of scale that could help ensure its survival in a dynamic and very competitive industry. If COMPAQ’s market assumptions were incorrect, however, its future might be bleak. Many of today’s...

...Course Evaluation Quintella Lauderdale Design and Process of Curriculum Development HSN 544 Alice Kindschuh July 18, 2012 Course Evaluation Introduction Course evaluations have been around for a long time. In fact, the first teacher course evaluation referred to as a teacher rating scale, was published in 1915. Shortly thereafter there research on the subject of student evaluations and teacher effectiveness flourished. This began in the mid-1920s. The research slowed down throughout the 1960s and student evaluations were done on a voluntary basis. In the 1970s scholars began to scrutinize the validity of the student evaluations of teachers (SET). At this time, research was strictly focused on clarifying previous research and performing new research. From 1973 to 1983 there was an increase in SET use from 29% to 86% in US colleges and universities. SETs have a widespread use today in higher education. The use of SETs has spread and has also become popular in U.K. and Australia (Densona, Loveday, & Dalton, 2010). Recent research initiated by Frick, Chadha, Watson, & Zlatkovska, developed a new course evaluation instrument for assessing Teaching and Learning Quality (TALQ). TALQ assesses teaching, learning, and the quality of learning. In other words, the assessment is for the teacher, the student, and the curriculum. A course evaluation can be a paper or electronic evaluation of a course and the instructor responsible for teaching the course. They...

What we do is we sell one Guide billions and billions of times. We exploit the multidimensional nature of the Universe to cut down on manufacturing costs. And we don’t sell to penniless hitchhikers. What a stupid notion that was! Find the one section of the market that, more or less by definition, doesn’t have any money, and try to sell to it.
