The present-day Maroon settle- ments — Moore Town, Charles Town, and Scott's Hall in the east, and Accompong in the west — are now nearly indistin- guishable, on the surface, from other rural Jamaican villages.1 Among the things which continue to set the Maroons apart from their non-Maroon neighbors are a number of linguistic features which appear to be found only in Maroon areas. The Maroon settlements have been described by two leading authorities as "centres of linguistic conservatism" (Cassidy & Le Page 1980: xli); but very little substantial documentation has yet appeared in print to back up this claim.2 While conducting an ethnographic study among the Jamaican Maroons in 1977-8,1 encountered a number of complex linguistic phenomena which were closely tied to the traditional ceremonial sphere in the various communities.

My father’s passion on using various modern methods to teach English in contrast to my mother’s keenness for rote learning of prayers in Dzongkha, their differences on the preference of methods inspired me to explore the current Bhutanese teachers view on “Process Writing Approach,” an approach from a different culture. I would also like to dedicate this work to Werner Christen, my husband.
  • BHUTAN @Appeal for the Release of Tek Nath Rizal: Prisoner of Conscience

    BHUTAN @Appeal for the Release of Tek Nath Rizal: Prisoner of Conscience

    £BHUTAN @Appeal for the Release of Tek Nath Rizal: Prisoner of Conscience Tek Nath Rizal, a prisoner of conscience and a former member of the National Assembly and Royal Advisory Council, is spending his fourth year in prison in Bhutan. He was sentenced to life imprisonment on 16 November 1993, but granted a pardon by King Jigme Singye Wangchuck three days later. However, the pardon was made conditional on the Governments of Nepal and Bhutan resolving the problem of the southern Bhutanese refugees living in refugee camps in Nepal. In January 1994, he was transferred to Chamgang prison from Thimphu Central prison where he had been reportedly held in handcuffs. Amnesty International believes that he is a prisoner of conscience held for the peaceful exercise of his rights to freedom of expression and association and is calling for his immediate and unconditional release. Tek Nath Rizal was sentenced to life imprisonment on 16 November 1993 by the High Court in Thimphu after a trial which lasted 10 months. He was found guilty of four out of nine offences under the Thrimshung Chhenpo (General Law of the Land) and the National Security Act 1992. The charges of which he was found guilty included treasonable acts against the Tsa-Wa-Sum (King, Country and People), attempts to create misunderstanding or hostility between Bhutan and friendly countries, and "sowing communal discord" between different communities in the Kingdom. Tek Nath Rizal had been first arrested in 1988 after petitioning the King about alleged unfair practices adopted during the 1988 census operation, including retroactive application of the 1985 Citizenship Act.

    In Pursuit of Happiness, Bhutan Opens to Globalization and Business

    In Pursuit of Happiness, Bhutan Opens to Globalization and Business Kimberly A. Freeman, Ph.D. Mercer University Katherine C. Jackson Mercer University ABSTRACT The Kingdom of Bhutan, a small country situated on the border between China and India, has in recent years become a constitutional democratic monarchy. As part of its 2008 constitution, Bhutan committed to promote conditions that would enable the pursuit of Gross National Happiness. The country thus initiated an effort to improve the quality of life and happiness for its citizens and has embraced globalization far more than previously through attracting business, tourism, and communications. The author’s herein address some of the initiatives provide the context within which these efforts have arisen. Keywords: Bhutan; Gross National Happiness (GNH); Globalization; Constitutional democratic monarchy 1. Introduction In 2006, the 4th King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, decided he wanted to open Bhutan up to the world and usher in modernization. Forty years ago, in 1972, Bhutan’s fourth king stated that “Bhutan should pursue Gross National Happiness (GNH) rather than Gross National Product (GNP)…with an emphasis not only on economic growth, but also on culture, mental health, social values, compassion, and community” (Sachs, 2011, p. 2) He chose to abdicate the throne to his eldest son and announced Bhutan would hold its first general elections in 2008. His son, King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck, took the throne of the new democratic Bhutan on December 14, 2006. Jigme Yoser Thinley was elected prime minister in the election, and Bhutan’s constitution was ratified on July 18, 2008. The concept of GNH has a very long history in Bhutan.
  • Chapter 5 Culture and Tradition in Opposition to Westernisation

    Chapter 5 Culture and Tradition in Opposition to Westernisation

    Chapter 5: Culture and Tradition in Opposition to Westernisation This chapter aims to understand the different discourses about modernisation, culture and tradition which exist among young people in Bhutan. Following Bourdieu’s framework, the chapter will examine the universe of discourse and the universe of the undiscussed by deconstructing both “modernisation”, and “culture and tradition”. In order to provide the setting of the multiple discourse in Bhutan this chapter firstly describes the background to the different kinds of education system which operate within the society. There are three kinds of education in Bhutan, namely English medium education, Dzongkha medium education and monastic education. The social context of each educational system will be discussed in terms of their influence on an individual’s career scope. The first part of this chapter also examines this social context in relation to Bourdieu’s idea of “mode of domination”, a perspective which provides several historical and theoretical insights. Secondly, I will introduce discourses on modernisation, culture and tradition. By deconstructing perceptions of “modernisation” and “Bhutanese culture and tradition”, the different opinions of young people will be examined. The ways in which young people criticise other people’s opinions and defend their own point of view will be investigated and the background/motivation of each discourse will be examined using Bourdieu’s framework. The last part of the chapter will investigate the universe of the undiscussed, the doxa, and its background. 5.1 Contexts of multiple discourse Modern English medium education is the dominant mode of education today and encompasses the largest number of schools and students of the three types of system.
  • The Myth Behind Alcohol Happiness Author: Dr

    The Myth Behind Alcohol Happiness Author: Dr

    The Myth Behind Alcohol Happiness Author: Dr. Chencho Dorji Abstract By drawing on the socio-cultural, religious and traditional practices that encourage the use of alcohol in Bhutan, the author will examine the causes and factors that induce and maintain drinking habits among Bhutanese. Next, the impact of heavy drinking on Gross National Happiness will be examined. As an outcome of this study, some relevant strategies to minimize harm related to alcohol in Bhutan will be presented. Author’s background Dr. Chencho Dorji is a consultant psychiatrist and technical advisor to the National Mental Health Programme – Bhutan. He has written several articles on mental health in Bhutan including the article “Achieving Gross National Happiness (GNH) through Community-based Mental Health Services in Bhutan”, which he presented during the first seminar on GNH in Thimphu 2004.

Some opt for the long haul, while others prefer a shortcut. A common shortcut is alcohol, known to produce happiness or euphoria, even if momentarily. For this reasons, millions of people worldwide drink it repeatedly everyday. Scientific research has proved that alcohol releases dopamine in the brain, which is responsible for the pleasure sensation. Humankind has used alcohol in one form or another as early as the Stone Age. History is beset with anecdotes of heavy drinking: from Europe to Asia, the Americas to Africa, alcohol has played a significant role in shaping history, politics and religion.
