Chant in Poetry


Chant is the rhythmic speaking or signing of words or sounds, often primarily on one or two pitches called reciting tones. It is one or the features that affect greatly in poetry. There are two ways that a chant is formed in poetry. A chant is formed accidentally when inspired by a certain action. The other method is by deliberate action, when a poet deliberately creates a situation to think of a poetical sentiment, and this is more widely used in making of a chant.




Ecosystem

This is a system formed by the interaction of a community of organisms with their environment. They try to preserve the environment by a system of interacting and interdependent relationships. Thus, the environment is harmed intentionally or unintentionally through the living and nonliving components of the system. In this case, resilience allows the ecosystem to return to its original shape after an unpleasant situation



The Use of Media


There are many techniques that the media use to send messages to the audience. For example, some advertisement companies portray positive traits of their products so they appear to be the best. However, some advertisement companies isolate some messages from their original context to twist and usually to contradict the intended meaning. This technique is called quoting out of context and is considered false attribution in which a certain passage is removed from its surroundings to distort its intended meaning.

System Thinking

System thinking is understanding the elements that are closely linked and interactive in the whole system. It is a way to understand the reality that stresses the relationship between the system's parts. In order to get the results that one desires, system thinking helps him or her to see more accurate and clear pictures of the reality so that he or she can relate to the natural force of the system. Additionally, it helps one to realize the wider perspective towards the reality when thinking about problems and solutions



Affiliation in Advertisement companies

Affiliation refers to having a close relationship with one person or a group. This concept claims that a person wants to have good and stable relationship with other people and groups; as a result, many advertisement companies use this method to their own benefit. There are two ways that the affiliation method is used in companies; showing a good personal and social relationship between the consumer and the product, and showing negative consequences of what could occur in the society when people use products other that the companies' own



Climate Change

Climate change refers to the variation in the Earth's global climate or in regional climates over time. It describes changes in the variability or average state of the atmosphere - or average weather-over time scales ranging from decades to millions of years. Higher temperatures threaten dangerous consequences: drought, disease, floods and lost ecosystems. Climate change affects not only humans but animals and natural resources all around.

Remorse


Emotional expression of personal regret is the state of remorse. This is closely related to guilt and self-directed resentment. People feel remorse when they believe their actions were wrong. Consumers remorse is the concept of regretting a purchase after buying an item. Buyers may focus on the negative aspects of the product they have just purchased and feel regret about their actions. People in Marketing are fully aware of this concept and have tried to find ways to counter that phenomenon. It is indeed their job to convince consumers to buy a certain product, but it is also true that marketers have to make sure that the consumer is happy with the product and that they wont return it out of regret.



Forgetting

Forgetting is a casual or gradual process in which old memories are unable to be recalled from the memory storage. How humans encode, store and recall memories is unknown, but it contributes to a phenomenon of short term memory which is categorized as either decay theory which states that passage of time always increases forgetting after something new is learned, or the interference theory, which takes effect when the recall of a certain memory interferes by recall of another memory.


Cyclic Population Change


An ecosystem is a functional system that includes an ecological community of organisms together with the physical environment, interacting as a unit. One aspect of ecosystems, cyclic population change, refers to species changing the size of their population cyclically. Populations change over time due to many different circumstances such as their size and their climate change. However, as these circumstances repeat, the populations of these species return to their original state.
