Essays Lesson Plans Gateway Maps ... Guidelines Frontline Muslims Geography and Cultures of Muslim Countries Overview: The purpose of this project is to encourage students to learn about one particular Muslim country in detail. Objectives: Students should be able to: Research and describe the political, economic and social history of their chosen country Research and present cultural practices of their chosen country Research and present modern-day statistics related to their chosen country Create an in-depth country profile Procedure: 1. Put students into groups of three or four and ask them to choose a Muslim country they would like to learn more about. Ask students to pick their country from the country list provided (Handout 1) or choose one on their own. 2. Distribute Project Handout to students. There are two assignments from which you can choose. For middle school students, it is suggested you use Handout 2A, which asks students to conceptualize an internet website and television commercial. For high school students, it is suggested you use Handout 2B, which asks students to prepare for a United Nations event. When designing the website and television commercial, students can submit a hardcopy of their site design, and submit the text of their commercial and perform it in front of the class. If you have access to web-page design software and/or video cameras, you may choose to use them to bring the concepts alive. However, this is not necessary to complete the activity. Note: Before distributing the Handout to students, decide on how long the project should be and how long the project should take to complete. Students can use Handout 3, Key Points to Cover, along with your instructions, to prepare their projects accordingly.

CULTURES CONSEQUENCES Bjarne.Fjeldsenden@svt.ntnu.no Home page Humans adapt to their surroundings. Somewhat simplified one may say that nature is forming culture which again strongly influences child rearing practices which again moulds humans both with respect to personality and cognition. "Human capital" may be a key word. Each human is the building block of society, and the quality of the society depends on each individual. Gert Hofstede (1980) defines culture as "the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one human group from another". What does "programming of the mind" imply ? What conditions, mechanisms and influences are shaping our brain? And what are the consequences of different programs or cultures? "Hofstede (ibid.) emphasizes that culture is not a property of the individuals, but of groups. Country boundaries are usually cultural boundaries, and national culture is instilled from birth. It has to do with what is considered proper, civilized behavior in that country: It includes for instance how to act towards strangers, colleagues, family; how to address somebody, whether to look them in the face, when to invite them home. How different are people around the world and along which dimensions can different cultures be characterized? Gert Hofstede (1980) came up with four dimensions and later added one in his influential book

Home Bloug Archive Mar 23, 2004: Multilingual, Multinational Information Architecture Design Have you worked on a multilingual, multinational web site's information architecture? If so, there's a future for you; designing such architectures is one of the two frontiers of IA design, along with (naturally) enterprise IA. And if you've worked on multilingual, multinational, enterprise architectures, well then, hats off to you. You've not only come up with ways to make those enterprise silos work together as one information environment, but you've made it happen with content owners and user audiences that literally don't speak the same language. I'm working with a Fortune 500 client that's already gotten off to an excellent start on cracking the enterprise nut. But they operate in dozens of countries and do business in enough languages to make the folks at Berlitz drool. I've been charged with kicking off the research on what's been variously called internationalization, globalization, and localization. (Or should it be localisation?) I'm hoping we can gather some collective notes on developing a multilingual, multinational enterprise information architecture right here on Bloug. It'd be wonderful to compile a list of the issues and challenges involved in designing such an architecture; I've started one below. Care to add to it?

The study of architecture in the United Arab Emirates revealed the impact of changing economic wealth on cultural and social aspects which, in turn, influenced the shape of the built-environment. Advanced construction technology, modern building materials, imported expertise and economic wealth all contributed to the rapid change in architecture. Above all, the desire to follow the western path of progress and development was the main factor for change. For years, traditional architecture was regarded as backward and undesirable. Recently, a consciousness of the importance of heritage and traditions was ignited by His Highness Sheik Zayed Bin Sultan instructions to recognize the historical past of the United Arab Emirates. New Buildings Imitating Traditional Style A new trend to utilize the architectural heritage of the past is encouraged in all aspects of culture. International and local consultants in the field of architecture are struggling to design modern buildings using vernacular architecture features and elements borrowed from historical buildings.

Raleigh Miller ~ Hour 6 Blue Valley North Japan and the West: a Comparison Feudalism Japan and Western Europe are two countries on opposite sides of the earth, yet both had a time period known as the feudal period. Japan's feudal age (12 th century to the = 15 th century) is comparable in many ways to Europe's feudal age (9 th century through the 15 th century, also known as the Middle Ages.) Three specific areas that share differences and similarities between these two ages are art, architecture, and the mascots of their respective countries: the Samurai and the Knight. "Paintings assisted all forms of Buddhism, not seen as works of art, but as visible manifestations of belief." Both Japan and Europe clearly used their art as vehicles for their religion in very similar ways, and that demonstrates a clear connection between they're very different forms of visual art.

ARCHITECTURE OF THE ANCIENT CAPITAL OF HUE - VIETNAM NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND FOREIGN INFLUENCES Brief on the history of Hue urban area's establishment. Architectural appearance of Hue in the old days and at present. National architectural characteristics of Vietnam and Hue architectural qualities Links Hue used to be the Capital of the Nguyen dynasty, the last royal monarchy in the history of Vietnam. Although the city had undergone great sufferings in the period of modern time, it still maintains a quite original face of an ancient oriental town, the most visible aspect of which is the complex of royal constructions and traditional monuments built in romantic natural landscapes. The architecture of the Ancient Capital of Hue reflects a deeply Vietnamese traditional soul. In 1993, the complex of Hue monuments was included in UNESCO list of World Cultural Heritage. Since then, Hue - a cultural and tourist center of Vietnam - has become much more attractive to not only domestic and international visitors but also historians, architects and cultural researchers.
