Assimilation, ethnic pluralism, and transnationalism for immigrants Question 1 Describe the differences and similarities between assimilation, ethnic pluralism, and transnationalism for immigrants. Which do you think is the best way for immigrants to adapt to the host society, and why? Assimilation refers to the process that minority immigrant communities use to integrate into the culture and way of life of the host society. The system of cultural absorption has several advantages and disadvantages. For example, immigrants who culturally assimilate have an easy time in social acceptance and upward socio-economic mobility. However, cultural assimilation has adverse psychological consequences. The first generation of immigrants finds it difficult to detach themselves from their relatives in their country of origin. However, future generations overcome this problem and become part and parcel of the dominant culture. One of the best indicators of cultural assimilation is a language that second and third generations of immigrants learn from when they are young. Even under such circumstances, some aspects of the ethnic identity, such as food, clothing, and festivities, is not lost. However, most societies have shifted from…

Pilots and controllers to demonstrate mastery of standard phraseology On March 27, 1977, two Boeing 747s collided on the runway at Tenerife. Among contributing factors to the accident was the use of non-standard phrases in radio communication. This led to confusion about whether or not a clearance for take-off had been granted. In most circumstances, any misunderstanding would be quickly clarified, however on this day, there was dense fog. The tower controller couldn’t see either of the two planes, nor could the planes see one another. In addition, simultaneous radio transmissions meant that some messages were not heard. The use of ambiguous words made the already bad situation much worse. Clear communication is extremely important – and can be a matter of life or death – for pilots and air traffic controllers. Pilots and controllers use standard phraseology to ensure that communication is clear and unambiguous. The sound quality in radiotelephony is variable, which increases the chance of miscommunication. The numbers ‘five’ and ‘nine’, for example, might easily be confused, so in standard phraseology, ‘nine’ becomes ‘niner’ and ‘five’ become…

Lyon Opera Ballet While watching Lyon Opera Ballet, it provokes strokes’ emotions. The complexity of Lyon Opera Ballet through the tricky cross-rhythms and complicated passagework which disturbed the Beethoven’s contemporaries, demands the chamber orchestras in making their own choices concerning performances. Lyon Opera Ballet’s Trios Grande’s plays on this kind of notion of interpretation with three choreographers that are responding to three other spate recordings of Die Grosse Fuge through different dance works.  At the heart of Beethoven’s’ masterpiece, you find the human desire to find rhythm and pattern inside the apparent chaos. This is awesomely exemplified in the clean and meticulous Lucinda Child’s choreography. I like this choreography because it offers the opening piece. The twelve dancers eloquent precision faultless arabesques and there is perfect unity that is combined through breathtaking grace that does not have a footfall. There is the airy, ethereal quality of the soft greys of costume and set in addition to the lightness that is heightened through fretwork backdrop. It adds to the purity and elegance, which imbues the most classical of the three parts.…

He also says that while talking about the American economy you are simply talking about Koch Industries. The corporation is so diverse that it touches on almost all spheres of the economy.
