| ARTICLES RELATED TO society | | | | |  society: Encyclopedia II - Skyclad band - BiographyThe band was founded in 1990 by former Sabbat vocalist Martin Walkyier and Satan/Pariah guitarist Steve Ramsey, after Walkyier left Sabbat over an argument with guitarist Andy Sneap as to the direction of his lyrics. The two's aim was to put together the 'ultimate pagan metal band' (initial ideas for the band included such extravagances as traditional Robin Hood costumes, though these concepts were soon dropped). Rounding out the group with another ex member of Pariah, bassist Graeme English, as well as drummer Keith Baxter, they penned a de ...

Motorcycle - Variations.
Variations exist:
There are two basic forms of motorcycles: offroad and street.
Some motorcycles have floorboards instead of footpegs.
Some motorcycles can be fitted with a sidecar, this converting it into a 3-wheeler or "hack".
There are other 3-wheeled variations, commonly referred to as a trike or motortricycle.
Motorcycle manufacturers often also produce All-terrain vehicles or ATVs. These have two or more back wheels, usually tw ...

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Bernardo Bertolucci - Spiritualism Certainty and Self-Doubt Bertolucci also has a talent for putting the human soul under the microscope. Psychoanalysis is as central to his films as it is to Woody Allen's, and Marlon Brando claimed that Bertolucci's sharing of psychoanalytical confidences with the star on the set of Last Tango in Paris helped elicit the performance that many consider Brando's best. Bertolucci himself is also known for the number of psychologists who have followed him everywhere, even interpreting his dreams, as a subject of dissertations and research on the creative artist. His interest in unders ...

| | | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Gebhart v. Belton - The decision Initially, Chancellor Seitz noted that the separate but equal law had already been adopted by the United States Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson, and that he did not feel able, as a judge of an inferior court, to "reject a principle of United States constitutional law which has been adopted by fair implication by the highest court of the land." For this reason, the Court refused to find that the segregated schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment, but not by any means on the merits of the system; as the Court observed, "I believe the 'separate but equal' doctrine in education should be rejected, but I also believe its rej ...

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Duel - Rules Duels could be fought with some sort of sword or, from the 18th Century on, with pistols.[2] For this end special sets of duelling pistols were crafted for the wealthiest of noblemen.
After the offence, whether real or imagined, the offended party would demand "satisfaction" from the offender,[3] signalling this demand with an inescapably insulting gesture, such as hitting the offender in the face with a glove, or throwing the glove before him, hence the phrase "throwing down the gauntlet". This originates from medieval times, when a ...

Examples include the ninth-century Wachtendonk Psalms, a West Low Franconian translation of some of the Psalms on the threshold of what is considered Dutch, and the twelfth-century poet Henric van Veldeke, who is claimed by both Dutch and German literature.
The earliest literature to be indisputably ...

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Ley line - The anthropological approach: Alfred Watkins and The Old Straight Track The concept of ley lines was first propounded by Alfred Watkins. On June 30, 1921, Watkins visited Blackwardine in Herefordshire, and went riding around near some hills in the vicinity of Bredwardine when he noted many of the footpaths therein seemed to connect one hilltop to another in a straight line. He was studying a map when he noticed that a number of significant places were in alignment. "The whole thing came to me in a flash," he would later explain to his son. Some people have portrayed this as being some sort of mystical experience ...

An apparent Utopian society, free of poverty, disease, conflict, and even unhappiness. Scratching the surface of the society, however, reveals exactly the opposite. The exact problem, the way the problem is suppressed, and the chronology of the problem forms the central conflict of the story.
Social stratification, where social class is strictly defined and enforced, and social mobility is non-existent (see ...

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Gender role - Transgendered and Intersexed people As long as a person's perceived physiological sex is consistent with that person's gender identity, the gender role of a person is so much a matter of course in a stable society that people rarely even think of it. Only in cases where, for whatever reason, an individual adopts a gender role that is inconsistent with his or her perceived gender identity will the matter draw attention. When an individual exhibits a gender role that is discordant with his or her gender identity, it is most often done to deliberately provoke a sense of incongrui ...

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Simulation game - Overview A simulation game, or sim game, (also known as a game of status or mixed game) is a mixture of a game of skill, a game of chance and a game of strategy, which results in a simulation of a complex structure (like a stock exchange, or civilization flux). These games are quite current through their mirror of modern society. Its benefit is the representation of complex situations of communal life, interconnections in society, and partial aspects of the economy (fo ...

Ken Wilber - The neo-perennial philosophy.
The Croatian esoteric philosopher Arvan Harvat has argued that attempting to integrate a thoroughly nondual approach like Zen with an evolutionary view is ultimately impossible: if your model includes absolutely everything, how can it change? Wilber's response is that it is only Form that evolves; Emptiness remains unchanged. Trans-conceptually, one can embrace one's own transrational (and hence ultimately ineffable) experience-awareness, and this is what con ...

attitudes, orientations or behaviours which take the interests, intentions or needs of other people into account (in contrast to anti-social behaviour);
common characteristics of people or descriptions of collectivities (social facts);
relations between people (social relations) generally, or particular associations among people;

Wizarding world - Fundamentals.
The society of the wizarding world is centred around two facts. The first and most obvious one is that its members can use magic. Presented as an inborn capability to do otherwise impossible things, magic is honed through study and training into a skill. It permeates every facet of the wizarding world, both as a near-universal tool and imbued in objects,such as wands, vital amplifying/focusing devices for spells, and creatures, including dragons and phoenixes. Spells can have almos ...

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Hard science fiction - Hard science fiction in other media Hard science fiction used to be largely a literary genre, as the complexities of physics were initially perceived to be poorly suited to other media. This perception has been somewhat modified in the latter parts of the 20th century and early 21st century.
Hard science fiction - Film.
One notable early exception to the rule that hard SF is essentially a prose form is 2001: A Space Odyssey, though the movie does not present the scientific detail (from physics, computer science, and other fields) cont ...

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - Ernest Gellner - Background Gellner's parents, Rudolf, a lawyer, and Anna, née Fantl, were both Jews from the German-speaking region of Bohemia, now part of the Czech Republic. The family returned to Prague, and Gellner was sent to the English-language grammar school there. This was Kafka's tricultural Prague, he told John Davis, Warden of All Souls: anti-Semitic but stunningly beautiful, a city he later spent years longing for. [3]
In 1939, when he was 13 years old, the rise of Hitler in Germany persuaded his family to leave central Europe and move to St. Alba ...

| | | | | society: Encyclopedia II - English law - Common Law As from 1189, the date from which lawyers can remember what the law has been and is, English law has been described as a common law rather than a civil law system (i.e. there has been no major codification of the law, and judicial precedents are binding as opposed to persuasive). In the early centuries, the justices and judges were responsible for adapting the Writ system to meet everyday needs, applying a mixture of precedent and common sense to build up a body of internally consistent law, e.g. the Law Merchant began in the Pie-Powder Cour ...
