If a baseball player does gain points for his team, he will do the same ritual he did for the previous game because he believes it will lead to another successful outcome for his team. The baseball player may chew on the same piece of gum each game or wear religious medallions around his neck (2). Gmelch demonstrates how rituals do not change the outcomes for the baseball players nor does it facilitate the process of catching fish for Trobriand Islanders. However, rituals give believers, like the baseball players, a sense of control and confidence to succeed. DISCUSSION
This is an area of history that has rarely been explored in such depth and nuance. Similar to other chapters, there is a large amount of cataloging of the origins of different custom, their transformations through time, and intersections with historical events. In these sections we are treated to stories of the interior life of many communities and their tradition-making in an intimate and spontaneous fashion. Each anecdote contributes to a fuller picture of the meaning of Carnival in Louisiana. One such tale showcases the resilience of Mardi Gras, when in 2014 the commitment to celebration was tested in the St. Mary Parish.
Rituals are a part of what makes a society. In order to understand someone of a different sociological background you must think outside of the box. Culture is typically based on rituals in which culture defines its reality and acceptable behavior and chooses its authorities. Rituals are typically described as what you do on a regular basis, which is repeated for a long period of time.
These rituals also create a sense of moral community, in which people conform to, which furthers their purpose and meaning in
She introduces three aspects those will help parents and faith communities nurture children’s spirituality, they are, story, ritual, and relationship. Telling stories of faith and living lives in faith will become a great model for children’s own faith development and will help them establish their own “identities with God and with God’s story.” Children’s spirituality form and develop when they see adults participating faith community’s and family’s ritual regularly and consistently. The author introduces helpful examples of ways of participate in faith ritual which faith communities and families can practice together over and over because it needs discipline to become spiritual habit in our lives. This way, our children will more likely to “incorporate God’s value and God’s way of life into their lives as they move into adulthood.”
This essay is in response to the essay written by Laurie Tarkan “Table Rituals” in which she states
Intro: Throughout 1962-165 Vatican II altered the way for Catholics that has changed the way we live our lives. Following the Vatican II, Catholics have the opportunity to connect with those in the Non-Catholic community. The way mass is presented has changed so that there is more community involvement, and SOMETHING ABOUT BEING CHURCH P1: Catholics were obliged to follow strict rules up until the Vatican II allowed them to have choices and gave them an alternate way to pray. Vatican II gave Catholics a new and improved way to celebrate mass which involved everyone.

There are several similarities and differences between the insider and outsider Action Research conduction processes. Insider Action Research appears to require the researcher to have a sufficient awareness of their organization, their research intentions, and potential contributions. Coghlan and Brannick (2014) states that researchers should specifically address context, action, researcher, and the insider process (Coghlan & Brannick, 2014). When addressing context researchers should be able to express, discuss, and/or describe all aspects of the organization they are working in; as well as the focus or topic of the research process (Coghlan & Brannick, 2014). The action process should address all aspects of the action phase, as well as
This strategy twists the story and enhances feelings in the reader that the ritualistic acts in the story could be happening anyplace, even in the reader’s neighborhood or community. The story builds on the observation that people tend to rush into and accept practices that their community considers necessary and appropriate. The story depicts a community made of individuals who do not think well on their own before acting but prefer animal-like behaviors when in a group. Such tendencies and behaviors, practices, and rituals are observable in quite many societies in modern times. Hence, Shirley’s short story has immense cultural and social correlation and commentary, especially on subjects such as peer pressure and peoples’ cultures.
I believe that ritual is a personal experience and to those within the purpose is apparent, those outside are subject to cultural barriers such as the one described by Rosaldo. I also question the fact that denying rage within grief; one cannot understand these actions, like not knowing love in the matter we as members of a culture that includes non-arranged marriage do could cause those that support arranged
