how has kumina impacted on the society?

Kumina is the most African of Jamaican cults. Kumina ceremonies are usually associated with wakes and entombments, but can also be performed at births, anniversaries and thanksgivings. During a Kumina ceremony the exponents call upon their ancestral spirits. The dance and music are two of the Kumina's strong features - the drum playing an integral part in this dance ritual. \n\nKumina is both the religion and the music practiced by the people of eastern Jamaica. These people have retained the drumming and dancing of the Bantu-speaking peoples of the Congo. Like the Kongo practitioners from Cuba, they have kept a large amount of the Kongo language alive. In the Americas there are many Kongo-derived religions still being practiced today.\n\nOne main aspects of Kongo religion is the practice of bringing down spirits of the dead to briefly inhabit the bodies of the faithful. The purpose of this is so that the ancestors may share their wisdom, providing spiritual assistance and advice to those here on Earth. Without exception, all such faiths in the Americas retain this central feature of Kongo faith.\n\nAt a "real Kumina" one can expect just about anything, as one of the aspects of Kumina is "being possessed by the spirits of the dead". Anyone can become possessed and there is no limit as to how many spirits can enter an individual. At this point the possessed person enters into a trance called the Maya.\n\nSo, to answer your question, one of its impacts on society today, especially in Jamaica, is the promotion of the false teaching about spirits of the dead.

If it were simple it wouldn't be an exam question.  \n\n(I'd write about specifics, and say the impact of colonial rule depends on the nature of the colonial power and rule, and the people who implemented it, and on the society and peoples on whom the rule was imposed.  Fopr instance, there were great differences in the forms of colonialism practiced in Africa by Britain, France and Belgium. In almost every case colonialism introduced "modern" practices for good and ill, and creaated gerrymandered countries which intensified conflict between incompatible local societies.)

I think the biggest impact stereotyping has in organizations, is that people don't live up to their potential when you label them and stick them in a box.  They see their role to specifically and don't try to reach above that to see what else they might be able to achieve.  It creates a sort of caste system, making it difficult for people to interact with others above or below them in the system.  It can cause disatisfaction and frustration when others don't recognize the abilities of one stereotyped, outside of the label that has already been given them!

It continues to impact use.  Since the internet is part of telecommunication in the broader sense, it has affected you right now as you are reading this.  The distance between people grows less and less everyday.

It basically steers the direction that the community is headed. The majority of people in a community are powerless to cause real change, however, a small minority who are wealthy and influential can cause fairly rapid change to occur, this change will reflect the agenda of those initiating the change and may not necessarily be in the best interests of the majority. Examples may include building a factory to exploit a natural advantage of the area, meat processing, flour milling, cement manufacturing. These may have positive immediate benefits, employment, boost population, boost local economy but the offset may be undesirable dusts, noise and smells. Tourism may benefit a few in the retail sector but cause congestion, loss of parking space, price hikes etc. that are not beneficial to the local residents. The building of a Temple or Mosque may cause an influx of ethnic cultures to settle in an otherwise peaceful community and cause racial clashes. The building of large scale welfare housing projects may alter the demographics of a community and crime and unemployment may increase The building of a jail may allow the eventual release of potential criminals back into the community allowing for the opportunity to re offend. A large new housing estate may impact on the heritage nature of an older community and may not be sympathetic with the housing style of the area. Hope this has given you something to work with, best regards, Chris.

Verses of Kuran which were editted .\n\nMohammad needed to get support and acceptence of kuran by Kuraish clan. It was quite strong. It believed Allah had three daughters. They were very respected deities.\n\nMohammad said Allah revealed to him that they are indeed sacred and their worship be allowed. Kuraish thought there beliefs are getting sanctioned and joined in.\n\nThe temples of daughters were near Kaba itself. Afterwards Mohammad declared that Satan played a trick on him and these verses which sanction worshipping the Sisters were his revealation. God had not sent those ones.\n\nSo they were called satanic verses and editted and dropped from Kuran.\n\nIt was sheer politics on part of Mohammad. And a sensitive issue among Muslims. Because if satan could make a fool of Mohammad once, why he could not have done other times? \n\nMention of the verses got Salman Rashdi a Fatawa agaist him.

Complicated history. It's outlined pretty well in this article:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_caste_system

None. All professions have been changed in some form or another by IT. Even monks. And candle makers... publishers..mine workers....etc. etc. However, the Amish might be another story.

Personally I like to find common ground among all of us. \n\nIf your students are young they might be interested in learning about corporations that produce gym shoes and blue jeans and ipods. \n\nCheck on the Yahoo Q&A in the family and friends categories, for instance, and see how people all over the world have the same worries and concerns.\n\nI live in Chicago and probably the largest Japanese influence would be in the food industry. People here love sushi (I think that's Japanese). And we all drink lots of tea. Chicago would be a great place for your students to travel to because there are always so many things going on in this city; and the transportation is pretty good too.\n\nI lived in San Francisco, California for a time and S.F. has a very strong Japanese influence as it is a port of entry to the U.S. \n\nS.F. had a Japanese neighborhood with great stores and hotels. Golden Gate Park in San Francisco has a wonderful Japanese Tea Garden.\n\nI see Japanese influence in art (Isn't the popular "The Kiss" by a Japanese artist?), architecture, coral and jade jewelry and gifts, furniture (both materials and design), plants, flowers, flower arranging, and landscaping.\n\nSome of our national concerns are: the right to life vs. freedom of choice; the possiblity of global warming; alternate fuels for transportation and other industries; violence and poverty. Do any of these also ring true for Japan?\n\nThese are areas that interest me. I'm sure the Japanese influence can be seen in the sciences, medicine (I think eastern medical practices are gaining a stronger following in the U.S.), education, etc., etc.\n\nAnd I think it's the Japanese beetle that's been problematic to some of our local trees.\n\nI think teachers are special people. God bless you!

its changed the focus of all criminal justice from a punish society, to that of one which tries to change or reform the behavior of criminals.  this carries over to probation/parole by carefull monitoring of behaviors to reform them rather than just intergrate them back into soceity.

Ultimately, the two head honchos wound up in prison, and KEI has gone under. \n\nHowever, there still should have been more punishment meted out, IMHO.\n\nPower+Greed=Corruption.
