Secondly, numerous cultural background factors are classified into six types including geographical environment, life style, traditional customs, religious beliefs, historical allusion and literature connotations which are the underlying causes of cultural barriers occurred in the hard news translation.

Prejudice And Discrimination

Indonesia is a multicultural nation that has a variety of ethnic, racial, cultural, linguistic, and religious diversity. This diversity makes its challenges in creating a harmonious society. This is because it can bring some people trapped prejudice and discrimination, especially in religion. The prejudice that leads to discrimination and acts of violence will make social conflicts more acute in the multidimensional crises that occur in Indonesia.This article aims to describe prejudice and discrimination behavior from an individual psychological perspective, sociological, and cultural background. Besides that, it was also explained the idea of how to prevent and overcome prejudice and discrimination in religious beliefs that occurred. Efforts to prevent prejudice and discriminatory behavior in religion can be done by increasing the value of the group that is prejudiced, opening communication, conditioning the environment to internalize social norms. The hope is that all citizens can live side by side and respect each other in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

This project is a visual expression of my observations about gender within western culture. My photographic practice is conducted within and mediated by significant beliefs about gender and, in turn, provides ideological support for how I relate to society. Acknowledging that I photograph from a female perspective I photographed both male and female subjects of different genders and races using a 35mm camera with a wideangle lens. I captured images that helped me reflect on my own practice as a photographer. My images can be viewed as individual photographs or as a set. Factors, such as my cultural background, social status, religious beliefs, and level of comfort with my own sexuality, influenced my photographic practice and so will inevitably affect how viewers respond to my images. How I feel about identity construction permeates through out my image making process. As a photographer in the Ryerson University and York University joint program of Communication and Culture exploring different theoretical frameworks undoubtedly affected my studio practice as I gained more knowledge and became more self-reflective. I accept as photographer that my images will not have a fixed meaning but I do intend them to evoke feelings. Since I discovered Henri Cartier-Bresson's work as a young teenager I have always had a profound respect for his abilities and his methodology. Although I would never begin to align my work with a master photographer with regards to quality I have always aspired to his greatness. Robert Frank and Eugene Richards also have inspired me during this Masters project. My more recent appreciation of their work reinforces my belief that there will always be a place for striking 'documentary' style photographs taken on film and printed on fiber based paper by the hand of one whom feels the call ofthe traditional darkroom.

Dhat syndrome has been thought to occur primarily upon the Indian subcontinent, where cultural and religious beliefs view semen as one of the body’s most precious fluids. The syndrome consists of patient complaints of semen loss (in any context) accompanied by vague symptoms and/or discomfort. This mostly occurs in young men, although a variant of the condition unique to women as been reported. Dhat syndrome seems to be associated with sexual dysfunctions as well as with inadequate sex education. Due to processes of globalization and population migration, dhat syndrome now can be detected, diagnosed, and treated worldwide. In fact, some authors argue that examples of similar forms of semen-loss anxiety could be found in Western countries in the 19th century, but disappeared almost entirely in response to social, economic, and cultural changes. It is argued that clinical psychology and psychiatry must take account of culture, and any comprehensive medical and psychological approach for these patients must acknowledge the cultural background of the syndrome.

Enterprise Creation

Religion has been identified as an important determinant of economic behaviour because the event of enterprise creation is seen to be a consequence of the association between environmental conditions and the entrepreneurial behaviour of individuals determined by their socio-cultural background. Studies have examined how religious beliefs influence the entrepreneurial intention of the adherents, and to understand whether it is doctrine, practices, organisation or culture of religion that shapes this entrepreneurial propensity. This chapter examines the issue of religion-entrepreneurship link among the Pentecostal Christians in Nigeria and in Diaspora, by reviewing both theoretical and empirical literature. It looks at how Pentecostal theology has legitimised entrepreneurship and examines the mechanism through which is imparting entrepreneurial values and affecting patterns of thinking of the adherents. The chapter provides overview of what make them display psychological traits and attitudes consistent with entrepreneurship as a result of success-oriented theologies.

The Way

There have been abundant of studies on White Anglo-Saxon Protestant and its role in shaping American culture. The assumption that America is an Anglo-Saxon Protestant nation is not entirely wrong, to certain extent, it is even indubitable. Anglo-Saxon Protestant culture and ethics have shaped America the nation it is today. This cannot be separated from the fact that the first settlers were people with Anglo-Protestant background. Through more than two hundred years of immigrations, however, when people from other parts of the globe with different cultural background and religious beliefs flooded America in huge number, this core culture did not vanish. It survived and was embraced by the majority of Americans. This paper tries to scrutinize the way the WASP identity became American identity. To do this, there are three basic ideas related to the WASP that need to be explored; the Anglo-Saxon ethnicity, Protestantism, and Anglo-conformity. In the first part it will try to investigate the significance of Anglo-Saxon ethnicity and the meaning of being an Anglo-Saxon. The second part will deal with very core of the WASP, Protestantism. In this part, this paper will answer the question on the role of Protestantism in shaping WASP identity and American identity. The last part is a discussion on the process of assimilation experienced by immigrants with non-Anglo-Saxon Protestant origins in order to be acknowledged as Americans.

Culture influences financial decisions of individuals therefore, by examining the cultural background of cultural differences stemming from difference in religious beliefs is of significance to better understand their preferences and financial decisions. This research examines the relation of religiosity and intention towards saving of Pomak households, a Muslim minority living in the northeaster part of Greece. Quantitative data, collected with field research using the Religious Commitment Inventory (RCI-10) and Warneryd’s saving intention scale was used. The results reveal that there is a strong relation between religiosity and intention towards saving, indicating that the intention to save is affected by the religious norms of a person.
