Download or read book We Were Born on the Same Day written by Au Yong Chee Tuck and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s a popular contention that if everything is determined by fate, what’s the point of trying to succeed? After all, if it’s predestined a person will become famous, perhaps he might not need to exert much effort, and fame would appear in time. But fame isn’t always synonymous with wealth and success. Some famous celebrities still struggle with money issues. Possibly the best-known example is Michael Jackson. In We Were Born on the Same Day, author Au Yong Chee Tuck examines the life of an actor who had an extremely strong fame star in his birth chart, yet his career stalled. Then there was the ex-Beatle whose fame brought him the unwanted attention of a potential assassin. Tuck asks the question: if fate determines the outcome of our lives, does that imply two people born on the same day share identical fates? He shows how posing this question to both a Western astrologer and a Ba Zi astrologer yields two different answers. We Were Born on the Same Day investigates what it means to two people who might or might not have been born on the same day and why human decisions still play a role in their lives.

Download or read book Local Identities and Politics written by Kees Terlouw and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relation between identity and space is strong and generates many conflicts. Most people attach great importance to their local community and its identity. The possibility of change can cause turmoil and become fertile ground for staking new identities. Understanding how these changes can take place is important to the future of community cohesion across the world. This book gives a detailed analysis of how different stakeholders in two Dutch municipalities use and adapt their identity discourses to deal with changing circumstances, situating this work within a wider international context through global comparisons. The growing spatial interdependence and political pressures for municipal cooperation or amalgamation creates not only threats, but also opportunities for stakeholders in local communities to transform their local identities. By studying how local communities attach to local identities, a new conceptual framework can be formed, informed by lively accounts from residents on the rich and varied use of identity in their communities and their concerns over future developments. This is valuable reading for students, scholars and researchers working in geography, politics, sociology and cultural studies.
