Sadly, in my view, we see far too much ________________ in society today. It bleeds through the lines of many student writings. Even more sadly, perhaps, those writings too often reflect students' attitudes toward life in general. This specialist in animistic belief systems can be either a man or a woman. He or she communicates with the Spirit World for purposes of healing or divining (foretelling the future). "A geographical sector of the world (in our case, just North America) whose aboriginal occupants exhibited greater similarities with each other than with the peoples in other such areas: " What do we call people who have everything they need and want? (in native American people Book) ?Explanation / Answer
Ans 1 – negativism
[Without positive attitudes and perceptions, students have little chance of learning proficiently, if at all. There are two categories of attitudes and perceptions that affect learning: (1) attitudes and perceptions about the learning climate and (2) attitudes and perceptions about classroom tasks. A basic premise of the Dimensions of Learning model is that effective teachers continually reinforce attitudes and perceptions in both these categories. The master teacher has internalized techniques and strategies for enhancing these attitudes and perceptions to such a degree that the techniques are frequently transparent: they have become part of the fabric of instruction and are barely noticeable to the undiscerning eye.]
Ans 2 - The basis of the religious belief is built on the worship of ancestral spirits. Ancestral worship becomes intelligible in the context of what constitutes a man. They believe that man is made up of visible and invisible parts. The invisible part is known as "tipo". The union of the visible part (the body) and the invisible part (tipo or shadow) forms life. They believe that at death the body becomes dust and the shadow vanishes and becomes spirit. It retains the individual’s identity and becomes more intelligent and powerful than it was before death. They believe that this spirit continues to exist as long as those who recognized it are still alive. He becomes a demon (jachien) when the circumstances of his death and burial were not honorable. The living dead are only effective on the generation level. Only spirits of a clan can haunt the living relatives of that clan. Death is a big issue among them. There is always a cause for the death. There is no "natural death." A man who dies of old age has been called by the ancestors to join them for more duties because they believe that spiritual beings are more powerful than the living.
Ans 3 - The history of the Native American and Amerindian has for too long emphasized pre- and early-European contact. They are continually referred to as the people they used to be; essentially ignoring their presence as modern day peoples. School curricula all too often only focus on these early stages of Native American cultures and tend to leave out the most relevant and pressing issues that plague the contemporary Native. Native American cultures should be looked at independent of one another. Though many hold a number of similarities and similar mindsets and worldviews, they are independent cultures and sovereign nations. This means, just as independent cultures in different countries and on different continents, Native America should be a blanketed term to describe only peoples that coexisted in early North America and their histories up to the present day. It should not be used to refer to more than their physical existence. There are a few reservations that lie in the borders of the United States and Canada as well as the United States and Mexico. This makes relations especially strained when security becomes heightened and increased by the United States, as it affects the Natives living on these reservations. They move in to protect the rights of those who live in the United States as well as those on the border but this is not always apparent in the way in which they carry out their duties or interact with the inhabitants of the reservations. Their job is to protect against illegal entrance into the United States and also help Natives as they work to keep illegal aliens from breaking into Native houses. Conversely, there are also a number of instances when these authorities abuse their power and harass those who do not speak English. Often times, these are the elders of the tribes. They are likely to be the ones that only speak tribal languages and not learned much English. What comes of this is a conflict between the Tohono Natives and border patrol as misunderstandings are common, and the patience and courteousness of the patrol is often short. This becomes another example of the imposition of a national government on a marginalized peoples. What’s more is that they way in which they interact with the Natives is not in congruence with their cultural norms and values. To have a foreigner step in and try to assert dominance over a population, whether or not it is for their protection and therefore for the better, it plays into this idea of the White having to step in and help the minority. Once again their cultures are belittled, people controlled, and freedom limited.
Ans 4 - Such a person is almost certainly coming from a position where they feel "entitled" whether is an object or treatment is irrelevant. It's themselves who have decided that they are "Special" or deserve to be treated or given special. For anyone to behave in this way without merit, it extremely selfish and inappropriate. I would imagine this person would have very few, if any at all, genuine friends. It doesn't take long for people to become dismissive of characters like this. I would might also suggest , it's questionable always "How Much Front" or "How Far or Often" they would push their luck in what would fundamentally be viewed as "looking to take advantage" of people and situations to satisfy their self-centered, egocentric, selfish greed. Others experiencing such Arrogance will quickly find this unacceptable, removing themselves from the presence. Bottom line, it is very normal (psychologically speaking) for people to think they are better than their peers in XYZ manner and therefore deserve more. Culturally speaking we learn to filter our true opinions, to socially mask the idea we deserve more, but the evidence is pretty strong that we are biased creatures when it comes to estimating ourselves and our own abilities.
