Comparison on Wedding Culture Between China and Western Countries
2018 8th International Conference on Education, Management, Computer and Society (EMCS 2018) Comparison on Wedding Culture between China and Western Countries Lihong Xu * Meihong Xu School of Foreign Languages Zhong nan Hospital of Wuhan University, China Wuhan University of Technology, China [email protected] [email protected] Abstract—Marriage has played an important part in keeping the reproduction of humanity, social development and cultural continuity. Different countries have their distinct wedding cultures, which reveal the social life, ethics, religion, values, sexual consciousness and the development trend of national psychology. To enhance people’s understanding of different cultures in the process of cultural globalization, this paper will analyze and compare the differences between Chinese and western wedding culture from the aspects of traditional values, religion and wedding processes. Keywords—Chinese ethic views, Religion, Pre-wedding customs, Wedding day I. INTRODUCTION From ancient times to the present, marriage has played an important part in the reproduction of humanity, social development and cultural continuity. Marriage in different societies has formed its peculiar wedding culture and customs, which reveal the social life, values, ethics, religion, sexual consciousness and the development trend of national psychology. [1] It is a culture accumulation and spiritual wealth created by human beings. With the increasing development of world economy and acceleration of globalization, different cultures have undergone a process of clash and integration. People have more choices when it comes to their wedding ceremony, western or eastern, traditional or modern. No matter which style they choose, the profound values attached to the wedding customs cannot be ignored. The traditional ethics and religious beliefs are always the most important cornerstone of marriage and stable family.

The Relationship Between the Succession Treaty of Esarhaddon and the Curses of Deuteronomy 28
Something Old, Something Borrowed, or Something New? The Relationship Between the Succession Treaty of Esarhaddon and the Curses of Deuteronomy 28 by Mark Steven Francois A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wycliffe College and the Biblical Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael’s College © Copyright by Mark Steven Francois 2017 Something Old, Something Borrowed, or Something New? The Relationship Between the Succession Treaty of Esarhaddon and the Curses of Deuteronomy 28 Mark Steven Francois Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael’s College 2017 Abstract This study concludes that only three passages from Deuteronomy 28 have a close historical relationship with curses from the Succession Treaty or Loyalty Oath of Esarhaddon (EST): Deuteronomy 28:23-24 (EST 528-533), Deuteronomy 28:53-57 (EST 448-451), and, more tentatively, Deuteronomy 28:25a,26-33 (EST 419-430). A comparison of curses in multilingual texts shows that while some change can occur when curses are translated from one linguistic, cultural, or religious context to another, curses with a close historical relationship to each other are connected through clusters of concrete anchor points including cognate vocabulary, lexical equivalents, similar modes of expression, similar imagery, and shared subject matter. Based on the absence of clusters of concrete anchor points, significant differences in both content and subject matter, and the fact that these differences cannot be adequately explained by normal changes that occur when curses are translated from one linguistic, cultural, or religious context to another, EST 472-493 (=§56) and Deuteronomy 28:20-44, EST 418a-c and Deuteronomy 28:34- 35, as well as most of the freestanding parallels between EST and Deuteronomy 28 cannot be said to have a close historical relationship with each other.

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BOR ROWED, SOMETHING LONG OVERDUE: THE EVOLUTION OF A "SEXUAL ORIENTATION-BLIND" LEGAL SYSTEM IN MARYLAND AND THE RECOGNITION OF SAME-SEX MARRIAGE 1. INTRODUCTION Thomas Jefferson once opined that the United States Constitution should be revised by each "new majority" and "handed on, with peri odic repairs, from generation to generation to the end of time.'" Our constitutional jurisprudence embraces an altogether different ap proach to revolution than that advocated by Jefferson. The bedrock principle of a flexible, broadly-read Constitution which adapts to changing circumstances allows revolution to occur at the judge's bench rather than at the ballot box.2 Historically, this revolutionary impulse has resonated in generational expansions of substantive due process and equal protection rights under our "living" Constitution.

These events center around the figure of the Krampus, a beast-like, punishing “devil” that accompanies St. Nicholas on December 5, the eve of his feast day. By 2010, groups of people in US cities were staging their own Krampusnacht processions in downtown areas, referencing the European enactments while simultaneously innovating their embodiments to meaningfully interact with the Christmas season in the United States. Participation in these events increases annually and the Krampus figure’s presence online and in popular media is on the rise.

Digital Media and the Coverage of Climate Change Something Old, New
DIGITAL MEDIA AND THE COVERAGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE MEDIA AND THE COVERAGE OF CLIMATE DIGITAL SOMETHING OLD, NEW: New ‘digital-born players’ such as Huffi ngton Post, BuzzFeed and Vice are challenging traditional media in their provision of news in general, and about the environment in particular. They have invested heavily in a wide range of countries and languages in an attempt to reach young audiences, who increasingly use social media as their source of news. Despite their success, these new players have hardly been studied. This book, written by lead author James Painter and researchers in fi ve countries, takes the UN summit on climate change in December 2015 as a case study, and analyses how new players and legacy media in France, Germany, Spain, the UK, and the USA covered it. It shows that new players are an important addition to climate change coverage. They reach new segments of the audience with a wide range of novel reporting styles, formats, and tone that marks them out from more established media. The authors argue that this is particularly benefi cial at a time when environmental reporting is being reduced in media organisations across the world. An outstanding book that represents the best of media scholarship. It is analytically rigorous, evidence-based, and written in a style that is lucid, engaging, and impactful. ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR MATT NISBET, NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY, USA A timely and hugely important book about the greatest issue of our time. It maps and analyses the boom in new media and the new ways of reporting and communicating climate change, and – crucially – of engaging new audiences.

Research, Scholarship, and Creativity 2014–2015
GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS COLLEGE RESEARCH, SCHOLARSHIP, AND CREATIVITY 2014–2015 Gustavus Adolphus College faculty members are ACTIVE SCHOLARS, RESEARCHERS, and ARTISTS who model intellectual engagement and creative endeavor for colleagues, students, and the greater community. THIS VOLUME IS THE FIFTH BIENNIAL PUBLICATION prepared by the John S. Kendall Center for Engaged Learning celebrating the outstanding work of the faculty at Gustavus Adolphus College in the areas of research, scholarship, and creativity. Two of the Core Values at Gustavus are “excellence” and “community.” The community of scholars here at Gustavus is built around our highly productive faculty, whose vocation centers on offering a liberal arts education of recognized excellence. The evidence for this claim is found in our assessment of student learning as well as our productivity in research, creativity, and scholarship. I am proud to assert regularly that this faculty embodies the highest standards of teaching and scholarship. Our faculty comprises great teachers, who are effective in the classroom in part because they are also extraordinary scholars—whether that scholarship takes the form of analyzing lab or field research data, or whether the scholarship is found in their artistic and creative output. This booklet celebrates the breadth and depth of our faculty accomplishments as scholars, many of which are collaborations with our students.* This student/faculty collaborative research is an important tool for teaching and mentoring our students. Thanks are also due to the staff in the Office of Marketing and Communication for assistance with layout, editing, and photographs, and to Leila Brammer, Kendall Center Faculty Associate for Research, Scholarship, and Creativity, Cathy Blaukat, the Center’s administrative assistant, and the current faculty associates, all of whom serve our faculty very well.

NOVEMBER 2020 from the Editor
NOVEMBER 2020 From The Editor ith COVID-19 pandemic engulfing the world and continuing to cause illness and demises all around, “Unprecedented” is the word Wthat we have heard a lot in the past few months. The governments around the world have taken “unprecedented” measures to shut down their economies by closing stores and ordering citizens to shelter-in-place in order to combat the pandemic. Undoubtedly it has had a devastating impact on markets and economies, and driven unemployment rates through the roof. In the midst of fighting the worst health crisis the world has seen in 100 years, central banks, fiscal authorities, and international organisations mobilised to take extraordinary steps to respond to the market distress. The novel coronavirus pandemic has put us all through a situation—which has risen for the first time in the recent history of the planet—that triggered the largest industrial shutdown since the World War II. From factories being shuttered to airlines being grounded and borders sealed. It is for the very first time that Oil producers are paying suppliers to take excess oil due to lack of storage capacity. It can be called the ‘Great Lockdown’ recession and is the worst since the SHILPA GUPTA Great Depression of the 1930s, where the developed countries are likely to post DIRECTOR, WBR Corp a negative growth rate of around 6 per cent. It has been estimated by the World Food Programme (WFP) that around 265 million people in low- and middle- income countries could face starvation by the end of 2020. In the 21st century, with all the connectivity and technology at our command, it would be a colossal human tragedy and a shame on the whole world.
