Culture is the way man use to survive and win in a society.7 A man is not only an individual creature, but also a social creature. People connect each other to communicate, to socialize, to help, to fight, and others. In this matter, people produce things and create some roles to maintain their life in the society. Those things and roles are then called culture. E. B. Taylor in his book under title “Primitive Culture” describes culture as a complex wholewhich includesknowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities acquired by man as a member of society.8 This supports the previous definition of culture that is everything people produce in their life. Here, Taylor also focuses on the man as the member of society. This becomes one of the characteristics of culture that it exists in the social set or community. “Kebudayaan adalah cara berfikir dan merasa yang menyatakan diri dalam seluruh segi kehidupan dari segolongan manusia, yang membentuk kesatuan- kesatuan social dalam suatu ruang dan suatu waktu.” (Drs. Sidi Gazalba)9 7 This definition was also presented on a seminar held in Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies on 1990s. 8Prasetya, Joko Tri et.al. 1998.Ilmu Budaya Dasar. Jakarta: PT. Rineka Cipta. p 29 9 The translation is “Culture is human’s way of thinking and feeling that states themselves in their part of life, that creates a social unity in certain place and certain time”.

    Biomatematický model 2014: Tour de Suisse – 7. etapa Letošní Tour okolo Švýcarska nabídla ve svém 7. dějství další individuální časovku, tentokrát však delší ‐ na 24,5 km a opět s členitým profilem přes dva kopce. První, prudší měl na 3,5 km převýšení cca 150 m, druhý pozvolnější cca 100 m na 6 km, což by se dalo orientačně přirovnat třeba ke stoupání Vrané ‐ Zvole a k Břežanskému údolí a které pro favorizované časovkáře nepředstavovaly vážný problém, takže opět došlo na hvězdný souboj Tony Martin (Omega Pharma – Quick Step) ‐ Fabian Cancellara (Trek Factory Racing). Roman Kreuziger (Tinkoff – Saxo) zajel velmi dobře, byť svým 19. výkonem dne v celkovém pořadí trochu ztratil.

Tim had in december langzaamaan de training hervat nadat hij lange tijd out was door fysiek ongemak.

Banyaknya pengambilan tema tentang terorisme serta penggambaran eksplisit terkait isu-isu terorisme di dalam film-film Hollywood bergenre action dan war membuat penulis tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian tentang bagaimana film-film ini mempromosikan kampanye Amerika Serikat dalam perang melawan terorisme di Indonesia. Dalam melakukan studi ini, penulis menggunakan teori diplomasi publik sebagai kerangka teoretis. Penulis mengambil kasus-kasus terkait Hollywood, Indonesia, Amerika Serikat, dan terorisme yang terjadi pada tahun 2006-2013 sebagai ruang lingkup dan keterbatasan penelitian.
