Acculturation: Definition and Context
The study of acculturation is the study of one aspect of culture change. The two processes are related but are not identical. In itself, “acculturation comprehends those phenomena which result when groups of individuals having different cultures come into continuous first-hand contact with subsequent changes in the original culture patterns of either or both groups.” 1 To put the matter more succinctly, “Acculturation is the study of the cultural transmission process.” 2
The Sociology of Majorities
A CASUAL but not uninterested observer of the current sociological scene could not fail to notice the serious concern within the field for problems of minorities and minority groups. If he pauses to reflect upon this phenomenon the thought may occur to him that nowhere is there a similar or even comparable concern for majorities and majority groups. Systematic treatments of this latter subject are distinguished by their scarcity, and this may seem doubly strange in view of the fact that some of the societies in which sociology has reached its highest development accept as almost axiomatic the political principle of majority rule. The proposition that majorities have been neglected requires no more than negative evidence. Even those sociologists like Simmel,' von Wiese,2 and MacIver,3 who have touched upon the subject, have done so largely in a political rather than a sociological context.4
The Application of Using Bezier Curve to Design Turbine Blade
The blade of the turbine is analyzed,the principle and characteristics of the Bezier curve are elaborated,the paper presents a method of using Bezier curve to design turbine blade.It was proved that it's a good and simple way to design turbine blade.Through this way,you can build mathematics model easily.It's certainly had some superiority.
