Chinese and Westerners have different social and historical and cultural traditions, forming a distinctive way of thinking. Such as the differences between marginal thinking and logical thinking, differences between comprehensive thinking and analytical thinking, differences between focusing on ＂unity＂ and tending to ＂opposite＂, differences between focusing on perceptual and on rational thinking, all of these ways of thinking result in different ways of expression and language in cross-cultural teaching, different ways of behavior and interactions and different view of life and values.展开更多

These sermons are characterized by high levels of affect in delivery, and serve to differentiate ＂preacher culture＂ from those denominations that abandoned their original heritage for admittance into middle class status. Thus, preacher culture is an act of both religious and class descent because they are ＂inspired＂ by the Holy Spirit （that is, not composed before delivery）. Gramscian notions of hegemony are used to interpret how ＂preacher culture＂ has maintained itself since the settlement by the northern British and the Scots to Appalachia. The genre of melodrama and ＂preacher culture＂ share significant parallels and content, dynamics of presentational styles, and because of these basic parallels, theories of melodrama offer analytical methods for analysis of the content of the inspired sermons and the way of life they elaborate. Gramscian notions of negotiation and consent are used to analyze the maintenance of ＂preacher culture＂, which maintains both tradition and cultural specificity that is characteristic of southern Appalachia.展开更多

Although Thomas is a creative and distinctive text for its own community, the major framework of the Logia in a textual-statistic way was based on the traditional Sophia literature that had affected the culture, custom, and authority of the Hellenised Jewish societies. Then, what kind of scrolls, books, and writings could be the religio-historical sources for Thomas？ How was Thomas transformed from those sapiential manuscripts？ While three data of ＂the Pauline Sophia concept＂, ＂the sapiential Logia of Q＂, and ＂the sapiential themes of the Jewish apocalyptic writings＂ are quite relevant, the Greek fragment of Papyrus Oxyrhynchus （P. Oxy.） 654 and NHC II, 2.32：10-51：28 will evince the new insight that the ancient Logia of the Thomasine community was not ＂the traditional Q＂, but could be ＂a new Q＂ coming from the common （oral, or written, or both） Sophia tradition, as an independently developed one.展开更多

However, there are unending changes in the modern clothes, and therefore it is particularly important to explore a new design way of thinking in the field of design. The two-dimensional series patterns are reflected in the clothing details by relying on different composition forms, and can show the essence of traditional Chinese culture and promote design to win in details.展开更多

This paper aims to analyze the differences between political economy and cultural studies, two primary but sometimes competing ways of examining media and communication, following a detailed description of their theoretical trajectory. Also, this paper suggests building a bridge connecting the two disciplines, the integration of which is essential to an adequate account of gender, race and social movement studies in addition to class analysis.展开更多
