LISTS

1) To take stock of what you can do
what you learned how in progress
what you learned by working
what you learned elsewhere (with your parents, on holiday?)

2) To be do a list of your qualities and lacking
Check auprès D? can friends and of your family
You also make personality test (style test D? engages) and standard lira of the books “for which trade be you makes? ”

3) Lists all your dreams
You know dreams qu? one has when one is child and qu? one gives up later by thinking that C? also the current dreams Ca is too hard
May can of the times being of the rather ridiculous tricks like selling candies, to be princess, to have a farm, to be billionaire, to have a dolphin? Write all that comes you.

4) Lists your passions
L? idea C? is to put all here that likes you, all that you? makes happy? (including eating, sex etc lol)





CHECKS

1) To locate what likes you in your dreams and passed
Exemple: let us say what you put that you want a dolphin and being princess
You must now check ALL the possibilities, even most absurd, and them list more perfect or more neutral
To have a swimming pool with Travailler
dolphin in a zoo or park the Aller
weekend on holiday in a center where one can swim with the Aller
dolphins with the zoo the weekend, etc?

To marry a prince and to live a castle
To have beautiful dresses etc
To save for a dress haute couture, etc?

Does Ca appear idiotic but you see better thus if what you want C? is the side beautiful dresses, richness or prince who T? attracted and if you prefer to swim with the dolphins, to work with, etc?
Indirectly, you see your? needs? : is what you want above all to see of the dolphins, to swim with, of the dresses, to be rich, etc?

IDEM WITH PASSIONS, THE TRADES, THE PLACES OF LIFE, ETC

2) The Needs
Once you ace do make the sorting in your dreams and pass, you can find one? trick? reality which approaches your needs.
For my part, J? sorted my desires by field: I know that J? have need for nature, D? to learn, D? to inform, D? to help?

3) The Possibilities

On the basis of there, I seek the possibilities.
Nature = to have a farm, working garden, voluntary help with the SPA, to have plants and a cat, to have a garden and a house, etc
To learn = sociology, professor, book of the books?
Etc
4) To sort
It is now necessary to sort a little and test several possibilities.
Once J? saw the various needs and possibilities that J? I have think of the possibilities of? lives?. Simplest is often to leave the different trades but you can also take the countries, places, passed? C? is according to your desires.
I can then become:
sociologist
professor
social worker or humane
etc?
you take in continuation stock of ALL the positive and negative sides for each choice
For example, if I am a sociologist J? would have evil to have a farm at the same time, L? of competition too much won't I like environment but I will feel useful and J? would learn from the things.
If I am in Africa I can have a farm and make L? humanitarian masi that will be complicated for the guard of my son.
Qu is needed? each time you include all your needs (nature, assistance etc for my case)
If you have a doubt you can check what pros, books, etc say trade or country in question.

Then, see what you can add: if I am a teacher for example I can have a farm and inform and learn but to mitigate my need D? to help I should a newspaper have on the Net or in my city and an association for my need D? to help. You see?

There you can make a kind of summary of the various possibilities and those which you prefer. Although normally, all are supposed to be appropriate to you about because they supplement, with their way, your needs

5) Concrete
Then you start to see what you can do to arrive there: to save to have such thing, to send of the CV for such job, etc
C? is the moment D? to go to the CIO, ANPE, to check the contests, to make voluntary help to check such passion, to gain in experiment, etc
And if one is not gone or does not go, you know the other possibilities? of replacement? who agree to you too.
Here is


T? does not worry if that lasts of the months, C? is normal: -)

GOOD COURAGE

Les sciences sociales et les modèles quantifiés
Translations available in: French (original) | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Social sciences and quantified models
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo



Social does the science term summarize with him only the paradox with which social sciences such as the geography are confronted, L? history or of course sociology.
To study doesn't the human societies raise of sciences known as hard, an empirical method seems S? to impose because does each man differ D? another and that its actions are not very determinable, like are those of the objects studied by hard sciences.
It is not very easy to include/understand or predict the behaviors and the systems of human thoughts; D? as far as those differ according to the places and times'. For as much, social sciences try to better include/understand the human societies.

If the scientific thought is thus been dependent on a company and its system of thought, it seems almost impossible D? to be neutral. In fact, L? does ethnocentrism touch each company and gift thus, even if the researcher manages to assimilate the culture of the company in question, that partly the reflection D? a way of thinking with its own generally accepted ideas.
Social sciences try to limit that while mixing with the qualitative methods and the quantitative methods.
The qualitative methods mix observation, talks or questionnaires, in order to include/understand a system as a whole. One tries here not to have D? a priori on the subject in question by putting open questions in order not to influence the answers of the interlocutors or by using L? does participating observation, where the researcher try S? to integrate into the group.
The quantitative methods rather tend to collect data quantified through concrete statistics and documents.
These two methods can be complementary in an investigation. Do the quantitative methods then make it possible to check an assumption, formulated at the time D? a qualitative investigation, in order to prove its veracity. Can the researcher show thanks to the quantified models that its assumption is right, that this N? is not simply a point of view.
P. Does Descola classify for example the various animals of L? environment of Achuar, periods of L? year and the events which are associated there, or it calculated and compared time used to carry out a essartage according to zones'. It managed to see that L? environment is included/understood and used according to standards' and aimed at company in question. Indeed, uses of L? environment are determined by the company, its practices and its beliefs. For example, the Achuar women spend much time to tear off bad grasses of their gardens whereas this one N? enormously do not affect the productivity of the garden. They have this practice, above all, to show their labour force and to be proud behaviour of their garden.
It thus seems that the group acts on L? environment according to its own beliefs; what S? opposes to L? idea what L? environment would determine the practices of the men.
Mr. Had Sahlins then shown that companies known as primitive N? do not use their environment to the maximum of his economic capacities. However the needs are satisfied there, contrary to the capitalist companies which create infinite desires which are thus never completely satisfied. L? is economy thus influenced by the company much more strongly than L? the economists imagined.
Did Polanyi prove as for him, that the liberal theories S? do not apply apart from their context, L? economy being dependent on the total company and its institutions.
Did this research show, thanks to quantitative methods, that L? economy and L? use of the resources depend on logic on the company in question. Thus even are sciences known as hard touched by this problem, in particular L? economy like L? explained the authors above.

It is however very difficult to find theories applicable to all the human societies. The researcher who studies the men belongs him even to a human society which is at the base of its knowledge and its system of thought. It would be naive to think that L? S can? in separating completely.
The quantitative methods are however to handle with precaution. They can be indeed used sometimes to simply show the thought of the researcher and not a reality.
Few sociologists and anthropologists agree for example to leave access to their notebooks of grounds, and one can affirm that any author of social sciences is one day criticized.
Social sciences, in particular sociology and L? do ethnology, often make it possible to show that nothing N? is universal but that all is cultural. Does this then make it possible to reduce L considerably? ethnocentrism and false logics. And without do quantified models, social sciences risk N? to be that simple points of view, influenced by the culture of the researcher.
For do my part, I however retain that as of qu? it S? D acts? to study the human beings, one must always at the head keep that our work remains an assumption.

Les ontologies présentées par P. Descola
Translations available in: French (original) | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The ontologies presented by P. Descola
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo

Does Descola develop four ontologies, different the way of thinking nature and the culture, while being based on the various manners of thinking the bonds between physicalities (like the body) and of interiorities (L? heart). Does this classification thus allow us D? to avoid thinking the other ways of thinking and the other cultures while basing itself on the only Western thought naturalist.
In the way of thinking animist, the physicalities are different but the intention or interiorities is identical. Nothing is created, all changes. The dreams, the illnesses and death would be in the center of this religion. Does our heart move and lives during the dreams, one sees in dream the hearts of dead people thus prove qu? they still live. The animals have a heart of it also because they also dream and die, just as the plants know health, the illness and death. The passage D? is a body man with an animal or opposite body then possible, because L? interiority is identical.
In the naturalism, interiorities or hearts are different but there is a physical continuity (as in the Darwinism for example). L? man is thus an animal equipped D? a heart, nature and the culture S? thus oppose strongly.
For the totemism, the hearts and the physicalities resemble each other, certain human having characteristics which bind them with certain not-human.
With L? opposed, L? analogism sees interiorities and the physicalities like different. All is single, like a succession of links. Can each thing then have effects on another thing, one seeks then has to create and break preexistent bonds in L? universe.

Etat sud-africain et environnement
Translations available in: French (original) | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

South-African State and environment
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo


In spite of the conference of Johannesburg on the durable development, L? Is South Africa centered currently more on the rebuilding of the country after L? apartheid from the economic and social point of view, that on ecological questions. L? did industrialization and agriculture productivist pollute L? air, grounds, increased L? erosion of the ground, etc
L? Did State try, lasting L? Apartheid, to protect from the threatened animals, often with the detriment of the local populations, in particular of without which their grounds were driven out. L? Does South-African State A also create, lasting L? Does apartheid, of the national parks for tourism and, seem, to separate L? man of wild nature.
The new constitution speaks however about right to a protected environment and without danger to the future populations and generations and ensuring a durable development.
However, at the time of its accession to the capacity in 1994, L? ANC N? a priority did not grant to the durable development. The GEAR (Growth Employment in Rebuilding) N? does not integrate the concept of development durable, the budgets relating to L? environment remain weak.
Do associations and trade unions fight however for L? environment and the framework of life.



L? example of the ground

In South Africa, the ground is for a long time a conflict stake. Was the rural world afrikaner the major support of the policy of L? Apartheid. It was very protected by the government from L? time.
People expropriées during L? Apartheid were reinstalled on grounds less fertile, smaller, or in ghettos without employment. Do the irrigated and fertile grounds belong to the white farmers in general, the people without grounds are often poor and cannot buy a rather large and fertile ground for qu? it is profitable economically. They also often miss average techniques and a formation.
At the end of L? Apartheid, which allowed L? abolition of the racist laws, end of the segregation and racial discrimination, L? South Africa started land reforms.
A programme of redistribution of the grounds was open to repair the damage and to offer the possibility to the people expelled of their grounds to recover them. Are the goals of this program however far D? to be reached, very little ground was redistributed and the files are not simple to create for people or communities often poor and little educated and not very informed on these reforms.

Was Landless People movement LPM born in 2001, in a context of consequences of the not held promises of the government concerning the oustings, the distribution of the grounds, energies and L? access to the services of bases.
Landless People Movement S? opposes to the programs of L? State concerning the redistribution of the ground. Certain members are not strictly speaking without grounds but farmers, D? others are for example more or less easy agricultural workers.
Requests for without grounds relating to of course the distribution of the grounds, but also L? access to the services of bases, the participation of the populations in the actions with regard to them, right to a formation, where still right of S? to install freely. All are these concepts related to L? idea of democracy, justice and repair after L? Apartheid.
Do nature and energies mingle here with the need for the population and L? idea D? equality and of democracy.

Contrary to the workmen, the peasants are not organized in trade unions. They claim the safety of L? employment, of better working conditions and an access to the ground, with however a prevalence of land safety and land right.
Certain peasants ask for a ground for economic reasons, D? others for more cultural reasons or symbolic systems.
According to don't Nancy Andrew, the people living on Community grounds require to be private owners ground affirming only C? is an idea “of White”; they wish despite everything to obtain a larger ground for better living L? food agriculture or to sell the surpluses locally.
L? does author explain that the ground is the base of L? does family organization, the property allow L? access to a social status and is a sure value. Don't the people living on Community grounds ask for to be private owners ground affirming only C? is an idea “of White”; they wish despite everything to obtain a larger ground for better living L? food agriculture or to sell the surpluses locally. It explains why the ground is the base of L? does family organization, the property allow L? access to a social status and is a sure value.
In the old Bantustans, the grounds poor and are badly irrigated. Do the requests for ground restitutions thus seem more symbolic systems qu? economic. For a ground is asked as one claims his due to L? State South-African, or because L? one wishes to recover a ground which belonged to our ancestors, for examples.


Conclusion

L? Does South-African State appear currently not very inclined with S? to occupy seriously of the problems D? ecology. Does the country concentrate more on the reforms following the end of L? Apartheid.
However, it is noticed that the matter D projections? environment in South Africa appeared under the pressure of the civil company. However, ONG and trade unions fight for the rights of the South-Africans and those include L? environment. L? did industrialization and the bad stock management and waste already have consequences on L? environment (air, rivers.) and the populations (intoxication in particular due to mining). Will these problems multiply as much as L? State and the civil company S? will not engage in policies environmental D? scale.

France show
Related to country: France
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

I have been away from TIG since weeks. I am busy surely busy with my job and studies in anthropology, but it s only difficult for me to talk about my country nowadays.
To be sincere i rarely feel French even though i am French by blood, birth, education etc.
But well i didn't decide to write this post to write about my identity.

No. I am here to try to show a bit more of what France is actually, mostly since Sarkozy is president.

Those who know me know I didnt vote for Nicolas Sarkozy. So I will make efforts to try to be neutral.


FACTS

Sarkozy got a bit more than 50% (53% or so)of the votes during the second turn of presidential elections in May 2007.

Sarkozy and his team are close to many firms and do a lot to make firms be more competitive.

They also have auctions in 80% of the medias in France.


I do not think that a president linked to so many firms and especially medias is positive for a democracy.
I am surely more 'democrat' or left side than 'republican' UMP right side (Sarkozy's political party) but i would appreciate is French medias could at times, especially TV, critizes his actions, or at least talk about the opinion of his opponents or of any citizen who disagree with him.

I would also appreciate if Nicolas Sarkozy could remember that he has some ministres to help him, and that he doesnt have to solve all problems that media say about by himself.


RIOTS etc

Sarkozy and his gouvernement say it s not a social problem but only a matter of delinquent who just destroy anything.
Most sociologists and anthropologists think that delinquency is never without sense, and about french suburbs, they claim the problem is a lack of integration of young people living in poor area.

There was an accident last week between a police car and a mini motorbike in a suburb. The two teens who were on the bike died. Medias said that the bike was driving too fast and that the policemen were driving slowly.
But the images we watched on medias showed a police car half destroyed. Medias then said young men came and destroyed the police car after the accident.
The day after, we were told that someone snapped the accident on his mobile phone and that the police car was only destroyed by the accident.
Fadela Amara then said that an inuqiry is now starting. I wish next time media and gouvernment wont tell us what happened somewhere before the beginning of the inquiry.. or that the car is destroyed cos men came to destroy only the front side of the car...

To tell you all that s scaring me in my country actually would take me a book or two.
I just wanted to add :
a law was voted so that migrants who want to come to France to join their family will do blood test to check if they are really from the family they claim
medias spent hours talking about 'hostages' cos of strikes, mostly insulting strikers.


I wish i am wrong but all this is getting closer to dictatorship and it reminds me a time when we used to say Jewish were...
Let me not talk too much. I just wanted you to know more about France, my opinion doesnt matter much facts does.
