Culture
Culture (Latin: cultura, lit. "cultivation"[1]) is a modern concept based on a term first used in classical antiquity by the Roman orator Cicero: "cultura animi" (cultivation of the soul). This non-agricultural use of the term "culture" re-appeared in modern Europe in the 17th century referring to the betterment or refinement of individuals, especially through education. During the 18th and 19th century it came to refer more frequently to the common reference points of whole peoples, and discussion of the term was often connected to national aspirations or ideals. In the 20th century, "culture" emerged as a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of human phenomena that cannot be directly attributed to genetic inheritance. the evolved human capacity to classify and represent experiences with symbols, and to act imaginatively and creatively; andthe distinct ways that people, who live differently, classified and represented their experiences, and acted creatively.[2]
Principe KISS
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Le principe KISS proscrit les seules complexités non indispensables. Paradoxalement, tenter d'utiliser des moyens simples pour résoudre un problème complexe peut conduire à une complexité encore plus grande. Il s'agit d'un écueil classique auquel peut conduire une application trop naïve du principe KISS. La complexité, souvent utile pour assurer de bonnes performances, est en effet elle-même une source de coûts de conception et de maintenance, ainsi qu'une source potentielle d'erreurs. L'idée est de ne pas optimiser quoi que ce soit avant de maîtriser totalement une version simple de ce que l'on crée. Variantes en anglais et traductions[modifier | modifier le code] Cette expression serait due à l'ingénieur prodige des ateliers aéronautiques Lockheed[1], Clarence Johnson, responsable des Skunk Works. Appelé KISS principle en anglais, l'acronyme KISS est décliné en : En informatique[modifier | modifier le code] On[Qui ?] ↑ (en) Ben R.

hero's journey
"A Practical Guide to Joseph Cambell’s The Hero with a Thousand Faces" by Christopher Vogler © 1985 “There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before.” In the long run, one of the most influential books of the 20th century may turn out to be Joseph Campbell’s THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES. The book and the ideas in it are having a major impact on writing and story-telling, but above all on movie-making. The ideas Campbell presents in this and other books are an excellent set of analytical tools. With them you can almost always determine what’s wrong with a story that’s floundering; and you can find a better solution almost any story problem by examining the pattern laid out in the book. There’s nothing new in the book. Campbell’s contribution was to gather the ideas together, recognize them, articulate them, and name them. This accounts for the universal power of such stories. 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) 6.) 7.) 8.)

Then get him in trouble.” -- Bruce Coville While a great story will keep an adult “with the writer,” a great character is what children crave.
