    Extractions: Examples from Sudan, Namibia, and Armenia Edith H. Grotberg, Ph.D. The limits of identifying characteristics unique to cultural/ethnic groups are well described by J.S. Phinney (1996). In reviewing the literature, she indicates that much of the research is limited in definition, measurement and differentiation of group characteristics. The results are generalizations rather than specifics about whether a cultural/ethnic group stresses individualism more than collectivism; independence more than interdependence; separation more than family affiliation; acquisition for self more than generosity; self-fulfillment more than interpersonal harmony. And these are not categorical so much as dimensions along which individuals and groups vary and, indeed, change over time. Not only are cultural/ethnic characteristics on a continuum, they are also variable as a result of changes in society and of various program interventions. Some examples are provided, including three studies from Sudan; the International Resilience Research Project (IRRP), which involved four countries of the Pacific Rim; and research in Singapore, and in Taiwan, also from the Rim. Another study (Cheong, 1996), occurred in Singapore, making comparisons with other neighboring cultural/ethnic groups. The intent was to identify changes in traditional values of harmony, group orientation, etc., to more western values of independence , competition, etc. The results seemed clear that independence and competition were emerging as values, especially in the economic area. The International Resilience Research Project, which gathered data from Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam and Thailand, found that in Taiwan and Japan, educational competition occurred as early as the preschool level, where tutors are often hired to prepare the young children for an educational advantage when they enter school and also while continuing school. Another study in Taiwan by Rosina Chia, et al., (1997) indicated that Chinese are competitive and aggressive with outside groups but not with inside groups, where vertical relationships demand obedience and dependence.

42. Culture, Identity And Relations Between Armenia And The Dispersion
    The idea, as said, is to offer expertise and help establish and fosterdirect contact with the people of armenia and its culture.

    Extractions: Caveat W hat brings us together here in Armenia, is the realization that relations between Armenia and the Armenian Dispersion could be markedly improved if the nature, scope and means of accomplishing such relations were to be clearly understood and defined in the best interests of both entities. This initiative by the government of Armenia is a timely response to growing desires and needs, concerns and uncertainties, and a welcome opportunity to ponder, explore and perhaps plan meaningful and practical relations. I am grateful to those of my friends, colleagues, and students, who at very short notice shared some helpful ideas with me. They may not, however, endorse the views I express here, since, due to time constraints, I had no opportunity of holding final consultations with them before forwarding the final version of this report to the Organizing Committee. My report is necessarily brief and is intended to be an honest and open discussion of a number of issues, mainly cultural, and some hard and harsh realities, many of which may be painful and hurtful.

    Extractions: Make a Selection What Are Armenians Like? What's in a Name? Armenian Artwork Armenian Music Armenian Dance Other Entertainment The Importance of Literature Introduction A deep devotion to their faith and language has helped Armenians preserve their identity over centuries of invasion and occupation. In a way, the ancient Armenian church and the and the Armenian alphabet have been identity cards for the Armenian people. Ever since A.D. 301, when Armenia became the first nation to adopt Christianity as its state religion, Armenians have looked to the church to preserve their national character and to provide education and leadership. The church is firmly rooted in Armenian culture, and even in the land itself. The entire church complex of Geghard Monastery, for example, is actually part of the land. This thirteenth century natural and human-made wonder, complete with dark passageways and caves, is curved out of the face of a mountain. Many churches and dwellings were built in this way to protect the Armenians from invaders. While the artistic beauty of such churches makes them national monuments, they are not just places to attend mass. Built on some of the most dramatic cliffs and in some of the most scenic spots in Armenia, church grounds and ancient cave dwellings are also cosidered the best locations for picnics and celebrations.

    Extractions: ERMC/AUA. : State of the Environment Armenia Armenian Culture Armenian culture in beginning of development of Armenians as a folk had a strong influence of Shoumer and Accadian cultures. Probably this influenced on development of fine arts, cuneiform, even language of first Armenians. It had a great influence of Assyrian and Babylonian cultures. We know, that people that time could build beautiful towns, they mastered many crafts, including processing of metal (iron, bronze). Urartian people had a very large pantheon and myths, but none of them is known now. Armenian pantheon was alike Hellenistic. From material culture of that time are known a pagan church in Garni (1st century before our era), were found many golden coins, monuments, etc. During the epoch of Tigran II the Great Hellenistic culture spreads in Armenia. It influenced on architecture, literature, music, theater. Though theater was not a new thing for Armenians: they had a primitive folk theater, but Hellenistic culture brought tragedies and comedies of Greek authors, and Greek actors showed them to Armenian kings and noblemen. Armenians also began to write dramas to be shown in theater. Were created not only dramatic, but also historical and philosophical works. All the literature of that period was on Greek language. Many Armenian princes were educated in Greece. Was increasing the influence of Roman culture on the culture of Armenia. Armenian Christian culture brought with her new music, literature, architecture. Theater was forbidden. Literature began to develop Christian way: the main themes were the problems of God and a human being. Were built beautiful churches, and some of them are stood till our days. Appeared a need in a native alphabet, and it was created in 405 by Mesrop Mashtots. Began the development of historiography; were created such works as "History of Armenia till Our Days" (middle of 5th century). Generally it is possible to say that the 5th century became the "Golden century" for Armenian Christian culture. As an event of Armenian Christian culture we can consider khachkars- cross- stones (big stones with crosses on them, made very accurately). Khachkars are found only in Armenia and nowhere else.

    Extractions: In the mountains of nowadays Armenia( in the south, close to town Goris), the first observatory Karahoonj (kar-means stone, hoonj-means voice, sound) was created. It has a history of 7.500 years and scientists believe, that there is a tight connection between the observatory in Armenia and Stonehenge in Britain, since the latter is much younger (about 4000 years) and the name itself is similar to the Armenian name and the second half of the name(hange) does not really mean anything in English. During the epoch of Tigran II the Great Hellenistic culture spread throughout Armenia. It influenced architecture, literature, music, theater. Though the theater was not something new for Armenians, it was a primitive folk theater, where stories taken from the everyday life of the people were being performed.Hellenistic theater introduced various generes: tragedies and comedies of Greek authors, dramas, sometimes Greek actors performed for the Armenian kings and noblemen. Armenians also began to write dramas. There were created not only dramatic, but also many historical and philosophical works. All the literature of that period was in Greek language, since there was no Armenian alphabet at that time. Many Armenian princes were educated in Greece. At that time the influence of the Roman culture increased. Armenian Christian culture brought with her new types and styles of music, literature and architecture. Theater was prohibited. Literature began to develop in Christian way: the main themes were the problems of God and human being. Many beautiful churches were built, some of them have survived till our days. There was a great need for theArmenian alphabet. In 405 A.D. Mesrop Mashtots, the great Armenian scholar, created theArmenian alphabet. Many Armenian scholars of that time wrote prominent books on History of the country, due to which we are able to learn both about the contemporary and ancient history of the country before our era. Movses Khorenatsi, famous armenian historian wrote "History of Armenia till Our Days" (middle of 5th century). Generally, it is possible to say that the 5th century became the "Golden century" for Armenian Christian culture.

Just Getting Started History begins with the first great Ancestral Armenian Empire, Urartu, which rose around 1250 BCE, a potent rival to the Assyrians and Babylonians. Then there is the Beginning to Get Old History , which begins at the time of Troy, goes past the Old Dynasty era to the Cradle of Civilization, when humans created the first cities, discovered the wheel, and uncovered the secrets of copper, bronze and iron.

    Extractions: Note: this page is ALWAYS under construction! Armenia covers 11,500 square miles in the southern Caucasus, which is an area slightly larger than the state of Maryland. This landlocked republic is bordered by Georgia to the North, Turkey to the West, and Iran to the South. A narrow strip of Armenian land to the East and the Southwest separates the Nakhichevan territory of Azerbaijan from Azerbaijan proper. Much of Armenia is a rugged plateau of ridges, narrow valleys, extinct volcanoes, and small rivers and streams. The climate is varies: mild and cool in the highlands and hot in the semi-arid lowlands. Lake Sevan, the largest lake in Armenia, is surrounded by extinct volcanoes. Known as Armenia's Pearl, this lake serves as the main reservoir of Armenia's irrigation system. Armenia's main rives include the Araks River, which flows into the Caspian Sea, and the Hrazdan, which flows from Lake Sevan into the Araks River in a series of majestic waterfalls. The Araks and Hrazdan Rivers provide almost all of Armenia's electric power. The Ararat plain is now the most densely populated area in Armenia, and, with irrigation, supports crops such as cotton, fruit trees, and the vineyards from which Armenia's famous cognacs are made. Armenia was once covered by many forests. During the industrialization drive of the Soviet er, most of these forests were cut down. Although reforestation has alleviated this ecological problem to some extent, the last few years have been disastrous. Due to the continuing blockade of energy supplies to Armenia from neighboring Azerbaijan, almost all the trees have been cut down to provide desperately needed fuel for heating and cooking.

    Extractions: History (Art and Culture) rmenian art has been profoundly influenced by Armenian culture, Armenia's long history, ever-changing geography and unique mountainous landscape. One of the most important periods of Armenian art was that from the ninth to the sixth centuries BC. Armenia was, at this point in history, the Kingdom of Van or Urartu. Citadels, temples, irrigation canals, carved stone seals, glass, ceramics, jewelry and arms were characteristic of Urartu's artistic endeavors. The Urartians were major producers of bronze objects. Excavation at the Urartian site of Karmir-Blur, begun in 1939 and continuing even today has resulted in the discovery of many household utensils, furniture decorations and pieces of military equipment such as helmets, arrows and shields fashioned out of bronze. Urartian smiths were also very skilled in the use of silver and gold. Vases, medallions and amulets were fashioned from silver while gold was used to create articles of jewelry. The smiths of this time are best remembered for their skill in decorating metal with mythological and animal forms. The intrinsic value of these metals made them prime targets for invaders who periodically looted the country. For this reason, metalwork of other periods cannot be documented as well.
