  • Tau Tae Tching Or Lao-Tse (The Right Path)
    TAl CULTURE Vol. 20 Tai peoples in ChinaChina.. Part III _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Oliver Raendchen * TAI ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY: tau tae tching or lao-tse (The Right Path) Abstract In this essay, ancient Tai philosophy (way of life; perception of the world) is approached in a specific way. Following more than 20 years of his comparative and interdisciplinary study in the ancient philosophy expressed in the tau tae tching text on the one hand and the world view, way of life and practical behavior of the Tai peoples on the other hand, the author has been developing the firm belief that the ancient philosophical text tau tae tching - which is found in old written exemplars in the Chinese language and attributed to Laotse - is most probably rooted in the ancient traditions and philosophy of the Tai peoples whose forefathers settled in historical times in what is today South China. In the opinion of the author, the written philosophical text tau tae tching was created as a mirror, as a secondary image, of an existing culture, namely, the world view, way of life, and practical rules of behavior of the Tai peoples. Compared to the concrete behavioural rules, traditional laws, etc., of the Tai peoples, the tau tae tching is a philosophical condensation and abstraction. It is something like a bible of behavioural norms and was used not only for worshipping the holy “right path” of behaviour, but in fact represents a complete value system which reinforced the social order. As such, it was also the source for intellectuals to compete with other value systems (e.g., that of Confucius) which was followed by other ethnic groups, namely the Han-Chinese.

  • The Role in Politics of Malaysian of Thai Race
    The 2016 WEI International Academic Conference Proceedings Rome, Italy THE ROLE IN POLITICS OF MALAYSIAN OF THAI RACE Rawikarn Amnuay Phranakhon Rajabhat University, Bangkok, Thailand Abstract The research topic of "The Role in Politics of Malaysian of Thai Race" is a part of a research project on Comparison of Structural Pattern and the People's Involvement in Local Administration in Thailand and Malaysia. The research is aimed to study the role in politics of the Malaysian of Thai race. This research is a qualitative research based on a review of documents from both inside the country and abroad as well as interviews of important sources of information to include the President of the Thai Malaysian Association, leaders of Thai Malaysian communities, and the Malaysian people. The derived information was then analyzed using inductive method, logical analysis, and descriptive narration. The research found that Malaysian of Thai race as Malaysian and Thai citizen have very little role in politics both in national level and local administration or even civil politics. The people of Thai race are in status of voters or supporters of their favorite political parties only due to their viewpoint of politics and administration as the leader's business and not their own. They do not give precedence to grouping together to carry out political activities. Meanwhile, the discoveries of factors that affect on the Malaysian of Thai race's political roles show that these people pay more attention to religion and culture which they see related to merit and demerit. Economically, Malaysian of Thai race mostly have agricultural profession; so most of them are in the lower middle class who cannot pay more attention to politics than making a living.

  • Loopholes for the Affluent Bankrupt
    Digital Commons at St. Mary's University Faculty Articles School of Law Faculty Scholarship 2020 Loopholes for the Affluent Bankrupt David R. Hague Follow this and additional works at: https://commons.stmarytx.edu/facarticles Part of the Bankruptcy Law Commons LOOPHOLES FOR THE AFFLUENT BANKRUPT DAVID R. HAGUEt [The] rich get richer [until] the poor get educated.' - Sage Francis INTRODUCTION Recent bankruptcy cases are exposing a problem. Affluent individuals filing for bankruptcy are treated more favorably under the Bankruptcy Code than those debtors with little to no means of financial sustenance or income. Did Congress intend this result? The legislative history is unclear. But one thing seems certain: The United States Bankruptcy Code contains a set of loopholes that appear to be designed for the well-to-do segment of society. Courts throughout the United States are either overlooking these provisions or simply condoning their utilization under the de- fensible conviction that the Bankruptcy Code permits it. In this Article, I argue that the Bankruptcy Code unfairly discriminates against individuals of lower-class economic status. Specifically, I identify two loopholes-one found in Chapter 7 and one located in Chapter 11-that are arguably intended to benefit those with high incomes and significant assets. Courts need to consider whether the use of these loopholes is permitted under the Code, and if so, how they should be addressed in individual bank- ruptcy cases. The Bankruptcy Code should create a level playing field for debtors-not an oasis for the affluent. Two scenarios demonstrate that the United States Bankruptcy Code favors those with higher incomes living lavish lifestyles.

  • Sage Francis: on Li(F)E, Old Age, and Selling Indie Rap
    Sage Francis: On Li(f)e, Old Age, and Selling Indie Rap Indie hip-hop and indie rock have always existed in seemingly parallel universes: on separate websites, in separate blogospheres, and on separate stages at the same festivals. Leave it to indie rap stalwart Sage Francis to help the two cross swords. On his fourth official solo album, entitled Li(f)e , Sage works with members of various rock groups, including Sparklehorse, Califone, Calexico, DeVotchKa, Death Cab for Cutie, and others, not to mention the fact that Iron & Wine/Modest Mouse associate Brian Deck produced the whole shebang. URB spoke to Sage about how the hell he pulled off this new LP, growing old in rap years, and how he plans to maintain his record label in an ever-weakening industry. URB: Bring me back a little. How’d you discover hip-hop? Sage Francis: Well, that was so long ago that I don’t remember, really. I have a story that I tell when people ask me that, that I think is true. It was just on the playground, tapes were floating around, I heard kids in the neighborhood playing stuff that I wasn’t familiar with—that I didn’t know was hip-hop at the time, but that’s what it was—and when eventually I decided I wanted to figure out what it was I was hearing, I was in my aunt’s house. I think it was a public service announcement came through on the television where a girl was rapping about not smoking cigarettes or something like that, and I had an adult present so I pointed it out, like, “This is what I want, I need to find this kind of music.” They didn’t really know what kind of music it was either, and my aunt kind of scowled her face and was like, “You like this?” And I was like “Yeah, this is what I like.

  • Older Population and Health System: a Profile of Thailand
    Older Population and Health System: A profile of Thailand I. Introduction to Thailand The Kingdom of Thailand was established in the mid-14th Century, known as Siam until 1939. A revolution in 1932 led to a constitutional monarchy. It lies in the heart of Southeast Asia. The country shares a long border with Myanmar to the west and the north, Lao P.D.R. to the north and the northeast, Cambodia to the east and Malaysia to the south. Thailand is divided into four distinct geographical regions: the mountainous North, the fertile Central Plains, the semi-arid plateau of the Northeast and the peninsula South At present, there are around 62.3 million people, of which 32% live in urban areas. Although most of Thailand is agricultural, the social and economic developments have changed the economy rapidly to industrialized productions and service sectors. After enjoying the world’s highest growth rate from 1985 to 1995 – averagely almost 9% annually – increased speculative pressure on Thailand currency in 1997 led to a crisis that uncovered financial sector weakness and forced the government to float the value of the Baht. Thailand entered a economic recovery stage in 1999. Nevertheless, the economic ordeal has a significant impact on country’s labor structure, population migration, urbanization and life styles. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per Capita is $7,248 in 2002. GDP- composition by sector is 11% in agriculture sector, 40% in industry and 49% in services. Average consumer price index (CPI) in 2001 is only 1.6%. The CPI in food and non-food are 0.4% and 2.2% respectively.

  • 4. Counter-Memorial of the Royal Government of Thailand
    4. COUNTER-MEMORIAL OF THE ROYAL GOVERNMENT OF THAILAND I. The present dispute concerns the sovereignty over a portion of land on which the temple of Phra Viharn stands. ("PhraViharn", which is the Thai spelling of the name, is used throughout this pleading. "Preah Vihear" is the Cambodian spelling.) 2. According to the Application (par. I), ThaiIand has, since 1949, persisted in the occupation of a portion of Cambodian territory. This accusation is quite unjustified. As will be abundantly demon- strated in the follo~vingpages, the territory in question was Siamese before the Treaty of 1904,was Ieft to Siam by the Treaty and has continued to be considered and treated as such by Thailand without any protest on the part of France or Cambodia until 1949. 3. The Government of Cambodia alleges that its "right can be established from three points of rieivJ' (Application, par. 2). The first of these is said to be "the terms of the international conventions delimiting the frontier between Cambodia and Thailand". More particuIarly, Cambodia has stated in its Application (par. 4, p. 7) that a Treaty of 13th February, 1904 ". is fundamental for the purposes of the settlement of the present dispute". The Government of Thailand agrees that this Treaty is fundamental. It is therefore common ground between the parties that the basic issue before the Court is the appIication or interpretation of that Treaty. It defines the boundary in the area of the temple as the watershed in the Dangrek mountains. The true effect of the Treaty, as will be demonstratcd later, is to put the temple on the Thai side of the frontier.

  • Jared Paul: the Underground Voice of Providence,Local and National
    Jared Paul: The Underground Voice of Providence By Melanie Rainone Jared Paul is a poetic and musical powerhouse that calls Providence home. As a nationally acclaimed spoken word poet and hip-hop artist, he draws his inspiration from social injustices and fuses his two art forms together to create something unique and powerful. Jared’s upbringing and early introduction to hip-hop took him on a journey that introduced him to poetry, community action, and national activism. He has become a radical and artistic voice of Providence, bringing the culture of poetry, working with the youth and community at large with a little rabble rousing thrown in. “Hip-hop is poetry. Hip-hop is the continuation of the oral tradition. It’s poetry put to music. The rhyme scheme, the meter, the metaphor, hip hop is the first music that was more about poetry than it was about music.” Jared grew up in the Manville neighborhood of Lincoln. “I grew up below the poverty line in terms of the state’s eyes, but both of my parents loved me a tremendous amount and I had a really great childhood. We always had all of the things that we needed and most of the things that we wanted.” Jared has fond memories of Manville, speaking of a strong community and many children his age with whom to play. “We had to see from a very young age the real time class divide.” It was in this environment that Jared found music.“My friend Joey gave me Public Enemy at the bus stop in 7th grade and it changed everything for me,” he explained.
