According to History's Communication concept is
individual culture according to Beebe, S.A., Beebe,
S.J., & Ivy,D.K (2010).The Blue Book of Communication Studies (TCC
Custom Edition ed., PP.32-35).Boston: Allyn and Bacon. “Individual
culture is a culture that values individual achievement and personal
accomplishment.” Which I have demonstrated in the pervious slides
by going back into the history of Estonia.
A country that has been defeated several times,
resisted the attacks of the Vikings, Danes, Swedes, and Russians
taking away from their homes, thrown into camps by the USSR.
Estonia is now a very strong and independent country.

Communication communicating by the means other than
written and spoken language.”
The following slides demonstrated Nonverbal language by:
Celebration of song and dance.
Celebrations of dressing up and having fun.
Decorating for holiday events.
Celebrating with family and friends.
19. The Music of Estonia
The Music of Estonia: How Verbal Communication through Music and
Song Influenced the People of Estonia:
Music has been an important part in preserving Estonian nationality.
Songs have been handed down from generation to generation. This look
at the music of Estonia, especially through their use of songs will show
the importance of verbal communication among people. As stated in The
Blue Book of Communication Studies (Beebe S, A., Beebe S, J., & Ivy
2010 p. 61) “Words are powerful”.
Also from The Blue Book of Communication Studies (Beebe et al., 2010
p.62-63) we learn in The Nature of Language that “People use Words as
Symbols”, and also that “People Attach Meanings to Words” I will show
that through their music and songs, the people of Estonia created strong
symbols that brought them together as a nation with one shared idea,
their deep desire for national freedom from Soviet Occupation. These
symbols went on to create a deeper meaning to all of them.

20. Early Music of Estonia
♪ The earliest mentioning of Estonian singing and dancing dates back
to Saxo Grammaticus' Gesta Danorum (c.1179). Saxo speaks of
Estonian warriors who sang at night while waiting for an epic battle. The
Estonian folk music tradition is broadly divided into 2 periods. The
older folksongs are also referred to as runic songs, songs in the poetic
metre regivärss the tradition shared by all Baltic-Finnic peoples.
Runic singing was widespread among Estonians until the 18th
century, when it started to be replaced by rhythmic folksongs.
Professional Estonian musicians emerged in the late 19th-century at the
time of Estonian national awakening. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Estonia
http://palun.blogspot.com/2008/03/regilaul.html
21. Music Of Estonia
Estonian Culture and the Importance of Music:
Estonian culture is that of a nation of a little more than one million people.
Along with the language, this culture is the main vehicle for Estonian
identity, hence the respect which Estonians feel for it.
The most striking example of the culture of ancient Estonians is their
regivärss, i.e. rhythmic verse, as well as their aural tradition of folk song
where each line is repeated several times with variations on a theme.
Nowadays, such ancient culture is rarely encountered, exceptions being
the island of Kihnu and the Setu border region, but such culture is
nonetheless preserved and research is carried out on it.
Estonians have one of the biggest collections of folk songs in the world,
with written records of about 133,000 folk songs.

22. Music Of Estonia
The Song Festival Becomes a Role Model:
♪ The term “the singing nation” expresses well the Estonian identity that has
united the nation in its struggle for national independence before 1918 and during
the period of the Soviet occupation. (1941-1991) In 1988 began the so-called
“Singing Revolution”, based on the Song Festival tradition, when hundreds of
thousands of people gathered in the Song Festival Grounds to make political
demands and sing patriotic songs.
More than 300,000 people participated in the huge event entitled “The Song of
Estonia” in September 1988, and for the first time the re-establishment of Estonia’s
independence was openly demanded.
♪ There is a belief that the Estonian’s sang themselves
free from the Soviet Occupation.

23. Religion of Estonia
The dominant religion in Estonia is Evangelical Lutheranism. Estonians were
Christianized by the Teutonic Knights in the thirteenth century.
During the Reformation, Lutheranism spread, and the church was officially established
in Estonia in 1686.
Among other religions in Estonia in the early 1990’s there were eighty-three Baptist
congregations with about 6,000 adult members, as well as about fifteen Methodist, and
several Seventh-Day Adventist congregations.
In 1992 there were 153 Lutheran congregations in Estonia with an estimated 200,000
members.
Aleksiy II, who had been born in Estonia and had served there as a metropolitan.
However, in April 1993, he agreed to grant the Estonian Orthodox Church autonomy.
John Paul II during a tour of the Baltic states in September 1993, and the Dalai Lama
came to Estonia soon after independence, in October 1991. The Jewish community has
a synagogue in Tallinn.
Immediately after the hostilities in Estonia ended in November 1944, the EAOC Synod,
who stayed in their country, appealed to the Patriarchal Locum Tenens, Metropolitan
Alexis of Leningrad and Novgorod, to accept them and all the clergy and laity of the
Estonian Orthodox Church in canonical communion with the Mother Church

24. Religion of Estonia
According to the 2001 Estonia Census the following are a list of Estonia’s
religious denominations and the number of followers of each
congregation.
Evangelical Lutheran 13.6%
Orthodox 12.8%
Christian (including Methodist, Seventh-Day Adventist, Roman
Catholic, Pentecostal) 1.4%
Unaffiliated 34.1%
Other and unspecified 32%
None 6.1% (2000 census)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_Evangelical_Lutheran_Church
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_Evangelical_Lutheran_Church
25. Religion of Estonia
The Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church (EELC) was constituted in 1949, when the
previous church hierarchy, Eesti Evangeeliumi Luteriusu Kirik, headed
by bishop Johan Kõpp, had escaped to Sweden
in 1944. When the Soviet Union invaded Estonia
in 1940, most Christian organizations were
dissolved, church property was confiscated,
theologians were exiled to Siberia, and
religious education programs were outlawed.
World War II later brought devastation to many
church buildings. It was not until 1988 that church
activities were renewed when a movement for
religious tolerance began in the Soviet Union.
Although women had studied theology at Tartu
University in the 1920s and some had sought ordination http://www.indexmundi.com/estonia/religions.html
as priests, it was not until 1967 that the first woman,
Laine Villenthal, was ordained.
