“Ceremony assists people to adjust to change (a marriage ceremony does this for families), to recognize achievement (a classic example is a graduation ceremony), to relate, to express love, and/or to establish a relationship. Ceremonies are the human way we have to signpost a deal such as a business merger, to trigger off a healthy grief process (such as in divorce or funeral ceremonies), to welcome another human being into the family. So Ceremonies have these excellent effects - they can be used further to announce intentions, to express loyalty and to reinforce a sense of identity.” PeopleWayHumansDoeUsedProcessHuman BeingsDealsGriefEffectsExampleIdentityHealthyAchievementIntentionDivorceLoyaltyWelcomeRelateExcellentClassicFuneralCeremonyTriggersMergersSignpostsMarriage CeremonyGraduation Ceremony Author:Dally Messenger
“It is time to celebrate the New Black Americans - those who have sealed the Deal, who aren't beholden to liberal indulgence any more than they are to the disdain of the hard Right.

“In recent years, we've become enamored with our own past success. Lulled into complacency by the glitter of our own achievements. We've become accustomed to the title of Military Superpower, forgetting the qualities that got us there.

“A family's responses to crisis or to a new situation mirror those of a child. That is to say, the way a small child deals with a new challenge (for instance, learning to walk) has certain predictable stages: regression, anxiety, mastery, new energy, growth, and feedback for future achievement. These stages can also be seen in adults coping with new life events, whether positive or negative.” WayChildrenCertainEnergyGrowthChallengesWalksDealsSituationStageEventsAchievementAnxietyAdultsNegativeMirrorsCrisisResponseInstanceMasteryNew LifeFeedbackPredictableCopingSmall ChildNew ChallengesRegressionNew SituationsNew Energy Author:T.
