Textile designers are influenced by a huge variety of inspirations, which can be reflected in the fabric decoration and fabric colouration used in their designs. For example, Collette Dinnigan’s choices of fabric decoration and colouration techniques are persuaded by feminity, Indian culture, as well as classic designs such as Yves Saint Laurent and Christian Dior. This can be seen in the pastel colour palette, soft embroidered embellishments and textural manipulations of her wedding dresses and formal wear garments, which are often heavily beaded using Indian techniques, similar to Dior. Dinnigan’s designs feature printed fabrics motivated by floral motifs and feminine colours, which also influence her application of floral lace fabrics, embroidery

Robert, Thanks for highlighting the comment by Gall, Gall, and Borg (2010) regarding how educational research is significantly behind research in fields such as psychology and medicine. You also mentioned the crisis in American education due to the poor performance of American students relative to students in other developed countries. Ironically, American medicine is the best in the world while American primary and secondary education trails the rest of the world. It would seem that an appropriate response should involve making our educational research as effective as our medical research. The most significant source of educational research over the last hundred years has come from psychologists (Zimmerman & Schunk, 2014).

Ceremony Ethnography In North American culture, weddings are usually a lavish celebration of joining two families. Recently, at a wedding I attended with my family, I noticed many things about the role of music in the wedding ceremony. Usually weddings are composed of a ceremony, with a reception or celebration afterwards. In this wedding, there was a limited role of music in the actual ceremony (other than the bridal procession/ “Here Comes the Bride” and when the newlyweds exited at the end of the wedding), however the role of music was more substantial in the wedding reception (in which there was celebratory music and dancing).
The details of the wedding ceremony suggest a lot of information about the communication style that is taking place throughout the ceremony. One type of information that is demonstrated throughout the ceremony is the idea of the Hindu religion being part of a high context culture. High context cultures are cultures that do not explicitly transmit message but instead meaning is implied by the environment (Lustig & Koester, 2013). The Hindu wedding ceremony is full of these indirect messages that are common with the high context culture. First there are a lot of symbols used in the wedding ceremony.
African aesthetic plays an intricate role in Caribbean fashion. It combines various colors, patterns, and fabrics which the Caribbean is known for. As a result, over the years Caribbean fashion relies heavily on African influences. Such influences are attributed by slavery, creolization and conformity. In the 17th century the first dress was the uniform of the estate afforded to those working and resident on plantation farms.
