<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>Humans as dynamic creatures who have the creativity, taste and intention in their lives. Therefore, humans always try to interact by using the natural environment as a source to meet certain needs. From this interaction the emergence of culture in society can be seen from the production of cultural artifacts such as cutlery, homes and decoration or ornaments. North Sumatra is an area in Indonesia which has many ethnic groups in the region, one of them is Batak. The Toba Batak ethnic is known for his diversity of skills as a medium for expressing people's ideas in a visual form. This visual form plays a role in the development of culture and communicates the values of the beliefs and customs of the people. Ornaments or ornaments on the Toba Batak traditional house are often referred to as Gorga. Gorga is a message of desire and advice that comes from knowledge, hope, thoughts, behavioral attitudes, and beauty to be communicated. The entry of Christianity became one of the new cultural elements of the Toba Batak customs. The Toba Batak experienced a social process characterized by efforts to reduce these differences. This process of assimilation and acculturation allows cultures and ethnic groups to adapt to other cultures. This change can refer to attitudes, values, and identity, even the Gorga ornament itself in the Toba Batak architecture. Gorga ornaments undergo a process of acculturation and assimilation so that it starts to be widely applied to modern public buildings. The church as a symbol of the relationship with the creator needs ornaments to carry implied meanings. The meaning of ornament that was understood before, from the understanding of Toba Batak cultural traditions experienced a constructive shift in meaning towards the understanding of church tradition. This gives enthusiasm, as well as an opportunity to preserve and develop local wisdom and values of the Toba Batak community in the life of modern society. </p><p><br /> <br /><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Manusia sebagai mahluk yang dinamis yang memiliki cipta, rasa dan karsa dalam kehidupannya. Oleh karena itu, manusia senantiasa berupaya berinteraksi dengan menggunakan alam lingkungan sebagai salah satu sumber untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tertentu. Dari interaksi inilah munculnya kebudayaan dalam masyarakat yang dapat dilihat dari dihasilkannya artefak artefak budaya seperti peralatan makan, rumah tinggal dan ragam hias atau ornamen. Sumatera Utara merupakan daerah di Indonesia yang memiliki banyak etnis suku di wilayahnya salah satunya suku Batak. Etnis Batak Toba dikenal dengan keaneka ragaman keterampilan sebagai suatu media ungkapan ide masyarakat dalam bentuk visual. Bentuk visual inilah yang berperan dalam pengembangan kebudayaan serta mengkomunikasikan nilai-nilai kepercayaan dan adat istiadat masyarakatnya. Ornamen atau ragam hias pada rumah adat Batak Toba sering disebut dengan istilah Gorga. Gorga merupakan suatu pesan hasrat dan nasehat yang bersumber dari pengetahuan, harapan, buah pikiran, sikap perilaku, dan keindahan yang hendak dikomunikasikan. Masuknya agama Kristen menjadi salah satu unsur kebudayaan baru pada adat istiadat Batak Toba. Batak Toba mengalami suatu proses sosial yang ditandai dengan adanya usaha-usaha mengurangi perbedaan-perbedaan tersebut. Proses  asimilasi dan akulturasi ini memungkinkan budaya dan kelompok etnis menyesuaikan diri dengan budaya yang lain. Perubahan ini dapat merujuk kepada sikap,nilai, dan jati diri, bahkan ornamen  Gorga itu sendiri  pada  arsitektur Batak Toba. Ornamen Gorga mengalami proses akulturasi dan asimilasi sehingga mulai banyak diterapkan pada bangunan publik modern. Gereja sebagai simbol hubungan dengan pencipta membutuhkan ornamen untuk membawa makna-makna yang tersirat. Makna ornamen yang dipahami sebelumnya, dari pemahaman tradisi budaya Batak Toba mengalami pergeseran makna yang konstruktif terhadap pemahaman tradisi gereja. Hal tersebut memberikan semangat, serta kesempatan untuk melestarikan serta mengembangkan kearifan lokal dan nilai-nilai masyarakat Batak Toba ke dalam kehidupan masyarakat modern.</p>

AbstractThrough an analysis of oracle bone inscriptions relating to attacks on the northern and western borders of the Shang Kingdom by various ethnic groups living in the Northern Frontier Zone, this paper suggests that the members of northern chiefdoms such as the Qiong Fang, Tu Fang, or Fang Fang mainly lived in the mountainous areas of present-day western and northwestern Shanxi, northeastern Shaanxi, and northern Hebei Provinces. The paper analyzes the characteristics of northern frontier-style bronzes unearthed from this region and suggests to which cultures they may have belonged. Based on these suggestions and analyses, this paper discusses the northern-style bronzes unearthed from offering pits, sacrificial pits and tombs at the Yinxu Site and reveals that the northern-style bronzes frequently seen at Yinxu, especially the ones dating to the late stage of Phase I and Phase II of Yinxu Period (i.e., those dating to the reigns of Kings Wu Ding and Zu Jia), are a sign of frequent warfare between the Shang people and the ethnic groups inhabiting the Northern Frontier Zone, warfare having been the main form of the contact between them. Moreover, this paper discusses the significance of the communication of the Shang with these northern ethnic groups for establishing exchange between the Shang and the people in the Eurasian Steppe.

Self-definition of ancient Greeks was created under the influence of socio-historical events, reflecting both, the relationship between Hellenes themselves and attitudes towards others. Greek wonder as a selfgenerated process yielded to a growing awareness that the drive towards advancement, observed in certain regions of Greece, was probably not possible without the external impetus of an extensively integrated Mediterranean world (Rollinger 2006, 197-226). The influencing factors for self-definition of ancient Greeks were a shared myth of descent, a shared territory, and a shared sense of history. Many scholars assume, that a sense of Greekness among Dorians, Ionians, Aiolians and others was finally crystallized throughout the number of military conflicts in which they were involved during the Classical period. Its seems probable that Athens played a major role both in the invention of the barbarian concept and in the substitution of cultural for ethnic criteria in the self-definition of Greeks. In their self-definition, Greeks seem to be deliberately stylized as antinomy to what they considered  to be typical for others. Similarly, as a response to the strong pressure from the Persians, the national awareness of the Anatolians was formed. Interestingly, in some cases local ethnic groups had chosen cultural elements that had been associated with Greeks or Persians for their self-definition.

ABSTRACTDemocracy in the perspective of Islamic education so far has no concrete definition, the difference between western democracy and islamic democracy, as well as the implementation of democracy that is not in accordance with Islamic teachings, then the problem that will arise is how democracy according to Islamic teachings? How is democracy in Islamic government? And to what extent is the relationship between democracy and Islamic religious education?In the age before Islam entered the people of ethnic groups and nationalities and the existing ties were blood ties. But after the teachings of Islam enter the bonds that apply are religious ties. This is in accordance with the word of Allah Surah Al-Hujrat: 13, Sura Al-Imron: 26 and 159 and Sura As-Shura: 38.Democracy according to Islam is often synonymous with the word musyawarah (shura), largely functioning as a form of government. Even though the reality is actually wider, it functions to all aspects of Islamic life.The democratic system in determining leadership and procedures for appointing leaders according to the Islamic concept as well as the thoughts of scholars on the concept of democracy shows that there are significant differences between western democracy and Islamic democracy, among the differences are western democracy, the highest power belongs only to the people, whereas in Islamic democracy The highest power is in the hands of God (Allah) and the Shari'ah of the past and the people are only as kholifah (representatives) of Allah to manage and manage the State while still relying on the Al-Quran and Sunnah. also Islamic lawThe relationship between democracy and Islamic religious education is very close because in education there is one of the principles of education, namely the understanding of democracy and Islam always puts forward the principle of deliberation in deciding everything.Keywords: Islamic and western democracy, Islamic Government System and Islamic Religious Education

The social, economic and religious pressures encountered by Eastern European Jews who emigrated to North America have been well documented. But focus on these areas has mostly failed to take into account the relationship between Orthodox Judaism and the process of adaptation to the New World. At the turn of the century, Orthodox rabbis, immigrants themselves, actively wrestled with the competing demands of Orthodox tradition and modern society. One such rabbi, Judah (Yudel) Rosenberg, brought with him to Canada a background combining both traditional Hasidism and secular learning. Rosenberg sought to draw the people closer to tradition by making it more accessible to them. Mysticism, especially, he viewed as the key to the preservation and regeneration of Judaism amongst a population that found it easier to make excuses than to follow the letter of religious law.

<p>Metaphor is not only an important figure of speech, but also a cognitive means of the human mind. The people with different means of thinking have different cultures. The metaphorical language used by people must be fully saturated with culture peculiar to it. Metaphor, as a figure of speech, is unavoidably associated with culture due to the relationship of language and culture. As far as the theme of the thesis is concerned, it tries to analyze the cultural factors influencing the formation of metaphor.</p>

Currently, one of the topical issues of modern linguistics is the study of certain concepts. The result of this linguistic experience is also paremias, which are an important element of folk culture. Folk culture, in turn, has linguistic expression. Interest in the study of this issue is due to the fact that modern scientists have recently repeatedly turned to the consideration of the issue of the relationship between language, thinking and human spiritual culture. The concept of "wealth-poverty" is one of the key concepts to understand the world of peoples, since the content of this concept in modern society is determined by the measure of the concept of "happiness". In this regard, this article analyzes the concept of "wealth-poverty" in the paremiological units of the Russian and Kazakh languages. By proverbs it is possible to determine common and different features in the comprehension of the world by different peoples, to show the reflection of this world in proverbs, and also to compare the emerging mentality of the people in proverbs.

With the existence of social change, of course, Islamic communication has challenges that must be passed and decomposed holistically, by finding and finding alternative solutions for the effectiveness and accuracy of contemporary Islamic communication. Among the concrete problems in the behaviour of social change, for example, modern society today abandons traditional values, has a hedonistic lifestyle and acts spree and so on. Therefore, Islamic communication must lead to handling real problems. This means that Islamic communication activities are efforts to solve or solve the problems of the life of the people and society in the socio-cultural, economic and political fields within the framework of modern society. The form of Islamic communication can be done formally in the activities of individuals in academia, social education institutions and da'wah institutions, and can also be done non-formally by individuals in the social life of the community.
