Zakat Dan Pola Konsumsi Yang Islami, Mulya E Siregar Dec 1999

Zakat Dan Pola Konsumsi Yang Islami, Mulya E Siregar

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

Salah satu pernyataan mantan presiden dalam pembukaan Musyawarah Kerja Nasional I Lembaga Pengelolaan ZIS-Forum Zakat pada bulan Januari tahun silam adalah: “Lembagalembaga itu masih perlu berusaha untuk menyadarkan umat Islam tentang kewajibannya menunaikan zakat serta memberikan infak dan sedekah.” Sejalan dengan pernyataan tersebut memang harus diakui bahwa sebagian besar umat cenderung hanya bersedia mengeluarkan zakat fitrah, infak dan sadakah, sedangkan kesadaran untuk mengeluarkan zakat mal belum membudaya bagi masyarakat di Indonesia. Keadaan ini terjadi diduga karena pola konsumsi umat di Indonesia belum Islami. Pola konsumsi masih menggunakan pola yang dikembangkan oleh Pareto bahwa manusia dalam memaksimisasikan konsumsinya hanya berdasarkan kepentingan …

The Selected Language Styles Of African Americans In An Urban Environment, Danielle R. England

McCabe Thesis Collection

The overall scope of this research is to define and explain the different styles of African American English. What are they and how do they affect the American society? The means by which many African Americans communicate is different from what American deems as standard American English (SAE). To this date, the voice of Black America has been categorizes as Black Dialect, African American Vernacular English, and Black English.

European Integration And The Expansion Of The European Union: Identity Formation In Europe, Aaron P. Boesenecker Dec 1999

European Integration And The Expansion Of The European Union: Identity Formation In Europe, Aaron P. Boesenecker

Honors Theses

The states of Europe and the European Union are facing one of the greatest challenges since the founding of the European Community in the 1950s. The collapse of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War have served to strengthen the position of the European Union as a guarantor of democracy, peace, and fundamental human rights in Europe. However, crises such as the Balkan conflicts of recent years have also exposed inherent weaknesses in the Union's ability to respond to the changing international environment. As the Amsterdam Treaty entered into effect on 1 May 1999, the EU marked a …

Removal Period Cherokee Households In Southwestern North Carolina: Material Perspectives On Ethnicity And Cultural Differentiation, Brett High Riggs Dec 1999

Removal Period Cherokee Households In Southwestern North Carolina: Material Perspectives On Ethnicity And Cultural Differentiation, Brett High Riggs

Doctoral Dissertations

Nineteenth century accounts of Cherokee Indian society consistently refer to the existence of two classes among the Cherokees: the acculturated "mixed blood[s], who speak English and are considered the intelligent and wealthy class" and the culturally conservative fullbloods, whom white observers denigrated as "backward," "indolent," and "ignorant" pagans. This perceived dichotomy reflected the poles of a socioeconomic and cultural continuum that developed as a result of the differential Westernization of Cherokee individuals and households during the post-Revolutionary War era. As these socioeconomic classes diverged, they developed as the primary axis of competition and conflict within Cherokee society. Because these groups …

Pedagogy And Power Relations In English Studies ; Insights From Literary And Rhetorical Theory, Jeffrey Walter Walkington Dec 1999

Pedagogy And Power Relations In English Studies ; Insights From Literary And Rhetorical Theory, Jeffrey Walter Walkington

Doctoral Dissertations

In this dissertation, I examine, against a history of current literature and composition teaching, the question of teacher authority versus student freedom in four different sites: the writing conference, especially as it takes place in writing centers; the“open” class discussion, particularly the issue of whether it encourages dissent or defusesit; non authoritarian strategies such as teaching in a circle and all they signify about classroom hierarchies; and the use of networked computers in the reading and writing course, which has been both endorsed and excoriated by leaders in the discipline.Chapter two draws heavily on recent social constructionist theories of composition …
