...Pythagorean theory; the Romans brought the Roman Numerals and even the Islam brought the “al jabr” which is known today as “Algebra”. The Chinese brought the remainder theorem and the Indians developed the decimal system, zero and negative numbers, and did early trigonometric work on the sine and cosine. The first computers were calculating machines and over time evolved into the digital computers, as we know them today. It has taken over 180 years for the computer to develop from an idea in Charles Babbage head into an actual computer developed today by many different companies. Therefore, it was a long and tedious path in order to make the computer into what we now use today.

...Reflective Paper Teresa A. Sigler BSHS 345 August 30, 2015 Chelie Byerly Reflective Paper Generational Poverty There is a strong family bond created within the family environment, especially when that family is struggling with generational poverty issues. There is a bond created between the parent and children that is so strong that generally most of the time the children will not break that bond and they will refuse to leave home. A majority of the children that are raised in generational poverty are lacking in several areas of education which is due to an extremely high dropout rate which is due to either considerably high rates of teenage pregnancy, or the student becoming frustrated with trying to learn. Coming from generally from single mother homes where the mother has to take whatever jobs that they can find, which tend to be low-paying and limited to no flexibility in scheduling, make it difficult at best for the mother to provide proper if any kind of structure for their children or for them to spend any kind of quality time with them. The older children that have dropped out of school are treated by the parent more like they are their own possessions now. Instead of teaching them the life skills and the other skills that they will need in order to survive in the real world on their own and to be successful for themselves. Instead, they have them taking care of the younger children so that the parent can go to work and put in more hours. This makes the older...

This essay will focus on how revival is discussed as a concept in the works written by Egil Bakka, Andriy Nahachewsky, Mohd Anis Md Nor and Ayhan Erol and the case of The whirling Dervishes in Turkey will be elaborated using this concept of revival. In his article ‘Whose dances? Whose authenticity?’ Egil Bakka, mentions folk dance revival in Norway as an ‘organized folk dance movement as opposed to popular tradition’. He presents two dance categories.

The dances in the second category are the ones which are subjected to the revival or ‘organised folk dance movement’ Bakka states that the revival process requires to move...

...ANALYSIS PAPER: In the previous decade, the thought that talking about a culture definitely recommends an over the top level of boundedness, homogeneity, lucidness, and soundness has picked up extensive backing, and some cultural or social anthropologists have even called to give away the idea. It is contended here, that the unwelcome ingredients aren’t intrinsic in the idea yet connected with specific uses that have been less institutionalized than these pundits accept. The foundation of the disarray is the appropriation of scholarly schedules crosswise over people: while these schedules are never conclusively imparted, they are not necessarily circulated. Accordingly, "culture" need to be held as a helpful term for designating bunches of regular ideas, feelings, and practices that rise when individuals communicate constantly. Likewise, outside human sciences and the educated community the statement is picking up pervasiveness and progressively seen in a harshly anthropological manner. Holding the idea while illuminating that culture is not duplicated un-problematically, has its cutoff points in the exceptional and the widespread, and is not synonymous with ethnicity and personality will safeguard the shared opinion the idea has made inside the order. Besides, it will detach imparting anthropological plans to the overall population and hence testing mixed up hypothesis ‘‘cultural turn’’ in the humanities. The examination of the relationship between culture and distinct attitude...
