Folk culture tends to remain isolated and resist change. It is composed of traditional customs, skills, dress, and way of life that are passed down within a small, closely-knit community. Material culture in folk societies consists of homemade tools, food, music, and other aspects of everyday life. While folk cultures try to remain isolated, aspects of their culture can diffuse to other areas through migration and cultural exchange.

Hunter-gatherers’ culture, a major attraction and hindrance to tourism develo...CIFOR-ICRAF
Ecotourism has potential for development and conservation, but there are notable and seemingly unsolvable hindrances inherent in physical limitations (lack of infrastructure etc.), and in the tension between the expectations of tourists and those of indigenous peoples. This presentation discusses the potential and pitfalls of ecotourism using the Punan of East Kalimantan as a case in point.
IRD/CIFOR scientist Patrice Levang gave this presentation together with Miyako Koizumi (University of Kyoto) at a session titled ‘Local populations confronted with societal changes of tourism’ at the 13th Congress of the International Society of Ethnobiology, held on 20-25 May 2012 in Montpellier, France.

Cultural Exchanges through Arts and LanguagePaige Vitulli
Cross-cultural collaboration between University of South Alabama College of Education faculty in the United States and visiting faculty from Shaoxing University in Shaoxing, China has resulted in a collection of conversations about the connection between art and language. Among the topics discussed are how cultural artifacts, including both historical and contemporary art, literature, food, and customs may be used to advance both the understanding of culture and linguistic fluency. Further, exploration of cultural misunderstandings and overgeneralizations are explored, and potential uses of art and language to overcome such barriers are discussed, including extensions of art that have worked in actual cross-cultural classroom contexts. The conversations, which include demonstration and discussion of cultural artifacts and customs as they relate to language and learning, will be used in Art Education and ESOL Education courses.
A Presentation where Pictures speak louder than words. More pictures help create a lasting effect in the minds of the viewers.
The Presentation covers the meaning of folk media, few examples , pros and cons, etc.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

• Folk Culture is the collective
heritage of institutions,
customs, skills, dress, and
way of life of a small, stable ,
closely knit, usually rural
community.
• -tradition controls folk
culture and resistance to
change is strong.
• Folk life is a culture,
composed of tangible
(material culture) and
intangible (non-material
culture) traits.
13. Carried by migrants
• From East Coast to the
west and southward
• Western style houses
diffused from west to
east across the United
States
• Composite cultural

-dancing
-traditions
-belief systems
All elements of a folk culture which can be preserved
even in a world of globalization, dancers in Nepal.
23. Affects local cultures in 2 ways:
1. their material culture, their jewelry and clothing, their food
and games, can be commodified by themselves or
nonmembers.
2. Non-material culture, their religion, language, and beliefs
can be commodified, often by nonmembers selling local
spiritual and herbal cures to ailments.
Entire cultures can be commodified as a whole, tourist buses
observing the Amish culture of Lancaster, PA or trekking
with “traditional” Nepalese guides on spiritual journeys in
the Himalayas.
When commidification occurs, authenticity is in question.
Many times an entire culture is typecast by one cultural
trait. An authentic culture does not fit into a single
experience.
