Attitude towards Work in America Have Been Very Much Influence by the Work Ethic. This Work Ethic is Also Called The “ Protestant  Ethic “ It Motivates People to Work Hard so that They Become Successful. The Work Ethic has something to do With the Quality Of Goodness.

Being Free From The Depths Of Bitterness

Life is not easy. It will not be always written in happiness, laugh or joy. In other words, life is full of tragedy. People face disagreement, sorrow, cries, evil, and fights. As a human being, there are the times when they feel so down, surrounded by sadness. They feel so lonely until they find the only friend that accompanies them is just their own shadow. People realize that they can not stay in that condition. Otherwise, that condition will just only make them more buried in the misery, so people have their own strategies to set themselves free from those depths of bitterness. Accordingly, there are three things that people usually do. They listen to the music, share heart-to-heart with the beloved ones, and to be alone.

The first thing is listening to music. Many people love music. They listen to it any time especially when they are not in a good mood. They need something that can recharge the energy of their souls and make them re-energetic. Therefore, music is their escape. It is no doubt that music can raise up the mood. By listening to the songs that they like, the ones that are on their playlist, they will feel more relaxed. In addition, they listen to the songs that have motivational lyrics. When they listen to the every single word on those songs, they let the lyrics come inside their minds. Furthermore, they let those series of words melt in their hearts, and lead them to be liberated from their gloom. Choosing the songs that have up-beat tempos, singing, and dancing while listening to the songs will create the smile and cheerfulness on their faces.

Karl Max and The Communist Manifesto

To understand Marx and Engel's "political pamphlet" The Communist Manifesto, one must understand the social relationships and processes associated with feudalism, including both the interdependence of the church and state and the economic interdependence of families. Otherwise it seems incomprehensible that more serfs did not flee the land. Similarly unless one knows of the existence of dress cock (in medieval cities (not discussed in Marx), one cannot comprehend the failure of many urban servants to flee their masters.

Defining Social Science as Different From History

To establish their legitimacy, early American sociologists tried to identify how their field differed from more traditional fields of study. In 1921, Robert Park and Ernest Burgess reflected on the nature of history and sociology. Both, they Wrote, "are concerned with man as a person, as a 'political animal,' participating with his fellows in a common fund of social traditions and cultural ideals" (p. 10). According to these early qualitative American sociologists:

History ... seeks to reproduce and interpret concrete events as they actually occurred in time and space. Sociology ... seeks to arrive at natural laws and generalizations in regard to human nature and society, irrespective of time and place. . . . History seeks to find out what actually happened and how it all came about. Sociology ... seeks to ex¬plain, on the basis of a study of other instances, the nature of the process involved. (p. 11)

Theoretical Use of Historical Information

I have placed the terms captures and object in quotation marks in the preceding statement because they are problematic. Not all methodologies imply that the researcher should "capture" the "object" of study. Feminist methodologies oppose these terms, because they imply that a researcher is trying to dominate the phenomenon under consideration (see Keller, 1985). Other chapters in this volume review some of the implications of current methodologies. This essay necessarily adopts a methodology; to wit, adequate social science includes a theoretical use of historical information. Any social phenomenon must be understood in its historical context. To grasp historical information, one must have a point of view, including an interpretive framework that includes some notion of the "meaning" of history.

Social Science Research Methodology

 ONE question logically precedes any advice about the use of historical methods in social science research: What do social scientists mean by his¬torical research? Articles distinguishing between historical sociology and sociological history tend to develop ideal-typical portraits of each endeavor. Rather than presenting ideal types, this essay will unfold as much qualitative research does—by in¬ference. Nonetheless, this essay has an implicit theme: Whether done by social scientists or by historians, historical work requires a point of view. A print of view necessarily includes an interpre¬tive framework that implicitly contains some no¬tion of the "meaning of history."

The problems of Papuan students in Java Island

As a university student who comes from Papua to study in Java Island, Javanese people require him/her to concord with the nature or climate, culture or behavior and language use in Java Island. Talking about the language use in Java Island, however, those two languages are extremely different. In Wikipedia, it is called as divergence, i.e. a situation where an individual places strong emphasis on a communicative act that is different than the one to whom they are speaking. According to Thanasoulas, overdoing divergence may offend others because they tend to do dis-accommodation meaning the shift of registers by certain people in repeating something uttered by their interlocutors.

Why Papuan Students Like Study in Java Island

For almost all Papuans, becomes a university student in Java Island has a high prestige. The first reason is because study in Java Island needs a lot of money to pay the school, rent a boarding house, and spends money for transportation cost and to buy daily needs and food, so only those who belong to a rich family who can send their children to study in Java Island. Another reason why those who study in Java Island is a prestige for the family and the children itself are because only well educated family try to look for a good quality to study. These families think that they can get good quality of education in Java Island so they'll send their son or daughter to study there. Last, even though the learner is come from a poor family but he/she has a good achievement in a major of study, they can be sent by government province or churches in Papua to learn in Java Island. It becomes a prestige for his/ her family for he/she can get a bachelor degree.
