Contextualization in theology is an interesting thing to observe because the development of theology cannot be separated from culture. And nowadays western thoughts greatly influence theology in the world, including in Asia. This is due to the large number of theologians from parts of the western world who pour their main thoughts in books that are made into literature by theologians today in theology and in the world of Christian education. This paper tries to look from a different perspective where Christian theology and education should be based on the culture that has developed in Asian society. It is hoped that the ideas of local theologians will emerge who have influenced the development of theology in Asia. Through the method of studying literature from Asian theologians and observing the phenomena that occur, the writer tries to give the idea that in doing theology and developing Christian education it is necessary to explore Asian local wisdom and release the dependence on Western theology

WHAT HAVE THE CONSEQUENCES of the Union of 1707 proved to be? What has Scotland become, culturally, nationally, psychologically? Is there a viable Scottish identity available to nourish the artist and to provide a vantage point from which to look out on the world? How is Scotland's present related to her past and to her future? And what sort of Scottish future do we want anyway? If Scotsmen of intelligence and imagination have been asking these questions, and other questions of the same kind, more and more fiercely throughout the last forty years, Hugh MacDiarmid must take a considerable share of the responsibility. His work for a Scottish Renaissance was not simply a literary endeavour: it was bound up with questions of Scottish identity which had for the most part been slumbering for nearly two centuries when he came upon the scene. And not only with questions of Scottish identity, for the question of the quality of modern industrial democratic society, which prevails over the whole western world, is also involved. The Anglicization of Scotland is part of the general Gleichschaltung of all western culture, and an investigation of its nature and causes is therefore bound up with social and political—and economic—ideas. Arguments about the use of Lallans or the relative merits of Burns and Dunbar or the place of Gaelic in Scottish culture could not therefore, in the context of any adequately conceived Scottish Renaissance movement, be merely arguments about a literary trend or skirmishes preliminary to the emergence of something parallel to the Pre‐Raphaelite movement or the publishing of the Yellow Book. They were in the last resort not only about the meaning of culture, of nationality, or history: they were, to put it quite simply, about the meaning of life. And that is what Hugh MacDiarmid's poems are about.

While infection has always haunted civilizations around the world, there are very few diseases that have had as much of an impact on Western culture as cancer has. The abundance of bereavement literature about characters with cancer begs the question; why cancer? This paper discusses ways in which cancer narratives reinforce Western obsession with control, through the lens of rhetoric and narrative structure. The author will specifically discuss how Patrick Ness’ 2011 novel, A Monster Calls, combats modern illness and cancer narratives and challenges themes of control threaded into Western culture

The Voice

There are two most inevitable issues on national literature, in this case Indonesian literature. First is the translation and the second is the standard of world literature. Can one speak for the other as a representative? Why is this representation matter? Does translation embody the voice of the represented? Without translation Indonesian literature cannot gain its recognition in world literature, yet, translation conveys the voice of other. In the case of production, publication, or distribution of Indonesian Literature to the world, translation works can be very beneficial. The position of Indonesian literature is as a part of world literature. The concept that the Western world should be the one who represent the subaltern can be overcome as long as the subaltern performs as the active speaker. If the subaltern remains silent then it means it allows the “representation” by the Western.

BACKGROUND Western world health care systems have been trying to improve their efficiency and effectiveness in order to respond properly to the aging of the population and the epidemic of noncommunicable diseases. Errors in drugs administration is an actual important issue due to different causes. OBJECTIVE Aim of this study is to measure interest in online seeking medical errors information online related to interest in risk management and shift work. METHODS We investigated Google Trends® for popular search relating to medical errors, risk management and shift work. Relative search volumes (RSVs) were evaluated for the period November 2008-November 2018 all around the world. A comparison between RSV curves related to medical errors, risk management and shift work was carried out. Then we compared world to Italian search. RESULTS RSVs were persistently higher for risk management than for medication errors during the study period (mean RSVs 74 vs. 51%) and RSVs were stably higher for medical errors than shift work during the study period (mean RSVs 51 vs 23%). In Italy, RSVs were much lower than the rest of the world, and RSVs for medication errors during the study period were negligible. Mean RSVs for risk management and shift work were 3 and 25%, respectively. RSVs related to medication errors and clinical risk management were correlated (r=0.520, p<0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Google search query volumes related to medication errors, risk management and shift work are different. RSVs for risk management are higher, are correlated with medication errors, and the relationship with shift work appears to be even worse, by analyzing the entire world. In Italy such a relationship completely disappears, suggesting that it needs to be emphasized by health care authorities.

Way Of Thinking

This is a book about wisdom. It is an inquiry into the beginnings of a particular way of thinking about life in the world. Seen in terms of wisdom, the world is not a meaningless array of disconnected things but something that is experienced as an ordered reality. This holistic way of understanding life in the world characterized pursuits of wisdom in a two-sided classical and biblical tradition that exercised a profound influence on Western culture. This book examines the development of that tradition in a wide range of texts from Homer to Plato and in the writings of early Jewish and Christian authors.

The Ideal

From its first appearance in western culture, philosophy has been considered able to build up reality, to educate people, and to disclose truth. Plato proposed philosophers as governors in life-long pursuit of philosophical learning. Socrates was the ideal paradigm of an educating philosopher: he tried to wake up human minds so that they could be aware of themselves and of the world, criticizing tradition and prejudices in a logically consistent perspective. A critical and dialogic approach—not by mere chance defined as "Socratic"—to problems has been considered until now the most profitable method of teaching. Socrates is a pioneer in discussing the question of a philosophical (paideia), as he defined his method "maieutic." He was not an authoritarian teacher, but a sparring partner in the process of self-education. Moreover, he considered himself as the most learned and, at the same time, the wisest in Greece, just because he was conscious of his ignorance. Therefore, he understood for the first time in our cultural tradition that knowledge is an endless process rather than a product, within marked bounds.

Does God Manifest Himself in the World in Trickles of Music?

The reception of Mozart's music is rife with extravagant claims that connect it to the divine and see it as a source of hope and comfort. Although that aspect of Mozart reception is still alive and well, recent demystification projects have tried to reduce his music to “social construction.” Christian theology goes some distance with those projects, but it also gives reason to believe that human artifacts can give glimpses of transcendence and reason for hope. Further, it guides our response to them between the dangers of idolatry and ingratitude.

Is Faith the Purpose of Christian Education?

FAITH IS THE overall purpose of everything we do as Christians, but education has a purpose in itself. Luther's model of the two governments is useful in thinking about the purpose of education. According to this, God governs his world through both his spiritual and his secular government. He has two purposes in what he does — both to save people and to make the world a good place to live. Education is primarily part of God's secular government, and its ultimate aim is the service of God by doing good to other people. Christian education, unlike liberal education, claims that there is basically only one good life, namely the service of God. It teaches pupils about God and his salvation, but it cannot create or maintain faith.
