EDIT

Aum or Om

Om is a sacred symbol for the Hindus. It is placed at the beginning of most Hindu texts as a sacred exclamation to be uttered at the beginning and end of a reading of the Vedas or previously to any prayer or mantra and also is said in the beginning of any puja (religious ritual). According to the Hindu worshippers, Om is the universal name of the Lord.
The term ‘Om’ is said to have a positive effect on the body and mind of the individual chanting it.  There are many ways of writing ‘Om’. In the picture shown above, Om is written in its most recognised form, the Devanagari script.

Hands in prayer

The scope of symbolism is broad and includes physical acts such as offering pranam (obeisances) with folded hands. Such physical gestures tend to induce the appropriate mood and awareness within the practitioner. It is also a form of respectful greeting, a sign of respect for the other person who is being greeted. Hindu people greet each other by placing their two hands together and slightly bowing the head, whilst saying namaste or a similar phrase. They adopt the same posture when greeting the temple deity or a holy person.

The Lotus

The lotus for hindus, is a symbol of purity or transcendence. The lotus is commonly used for sacred rituals in temples or Hindu homes due to its association with purity. The essence of a lotus being symbolic with hindu rituals is because it grows out of mud(considered impure), yet it is beautiful and though it rests on water, it does not touch the water. The essence of the previous sentence is that the Hindus try to be as detached as possible from the impure material life that most people pursue. This does not symbolize that the worshipper will alienate himself from the world. Whatever material items are necessary will be attained(hence the phrase “though it rests on water, it does not touch the water”)

The conch

The conch is another symbol and instrument of sacred rituals used mostly in Hindu temples. It is one of the items that one of the Gods of the Holy Trinity, Lord Vishnu, holds in his four hands. This special conch, called the Panchajanya, represents life, as it has come out of life-giving waters. The conch is used as a ceremonial trumpet, as part of religious practices. The conch is sounded during worship at specific points, accompanied by ceremonial bells and singing.

The Swastika

In Hinduism, the two symbols represent the two forms of the creator god Brahma: facing right it represents the evolution of the universe , facing left it represents the involution of the universe. It is also seen as pointing in all four directions (north, east, south and west) and thus signifies stability and groundedness. Its use as a sun symbol can first be seen in its representation of the god Surya. The swastika is considered extremely holy and auspicious by all Hindus, and is regularly used to decorate items related to Hindu culture. It is used in all Hindu religious designs. Throughout the subcontinent of India, it can be seen on the sides of temples, religious scriptures, gift items, and letterheads.

The Trident(Trishula)

A Trishula is a type of traditional Indian trident, usually a Hindu religious symbol. The trishula is wielded by the Hindu God Shiva. The three points have various meanings and significance. They are most commonly said to represent various trinities--creation, maintenance and destruction and past, present and future. It also represents the place where the three main ‘nadis’, or energy channels meet at the brow.

Circumbulation

Circumbulation is a part of visiting any hindu temple. It symbolizes God being the centre, source and essence of human life and the worshippers recognising this truth. Circumbulation is similar to drawing a circle or a square(the sanctum sanctorum of temples may be circular or in the form of a square). Every point on the circumference of a circle is equidistant from the centre. That is, circumbulation emphasises that no matter who you are, you are equally close to God. 

The Lamp

 In almost every Hindu home and every temple, a lamp is lit daily at the altar of the deity. All auspicious functions commence with the lighting of the lamp which is often maintained right through the occasion. Light symbolizes knowledge, and darkness, ignorance. Knowledge removes ignorance, just as light removes darkness. For Hindus, the light is represents God, who is the source, the enlivener and the illuminator of all knowledge. Hence the lamp is worshipped as God himself.

The ‘Aarati’

The aarati is the slow waving of a lighted lamp held in the right hand(sometimes both hands are used) using camphor as the material, in a clockwise direction. When aarati is done, there will be either a silent or loud chant of Hindu mantras or prayers. This holds a spirutual telling significance. Camphor, when lit, burns itself out completely, without a trace. This act signifies that when lit by the fire of knowledge, the ego present in us would burn itself out completely so that we may be one with God.

The Tilak

Tilak is a mark of auspiciousness. It is put on the forehead with sandal paste or sacred ashes. The devotees of Siva apply sacred ashes on the forehead and the devotees of Vishnu apply sandal paste. Tilaka is applied at the ‘Ajna Chakra’, the space between the two eyebrows or the ‘seat of thinking’. It has a cooling effect on the person who wears the tilak. Application of sandal paste has great medicinal value, apart from the spiritual influence. Application of sandal paste will nullify the heating effect when you concentrate and work, thus reducing head aches. The tilak is also portrayed as a protection against wrong tendencies and forces.

Application of holy ash

The ash of any burnt object is not regarded as holy ash. Holy ash is the ash obtained from the sacred fire where special wood along with ghee and other herbs is offered as worship to God. The holy ash is generally applied on the forehead, chest, arms etc. Some Hindus also do consume a pinch of the holy ash.
The sacred fire symbolises the surrender of ego and egocentric desires into the flame of knowledge. The ash obtained and when applied, signifies the destruction of evil and remembrance of the divineto the one who applies it. Further it also serves as a reminder to those who see the holy ash that no matter how important they may be, at the end of their life they too would become part of the ash they see, thus reminding them that ego should not find a place in their life.

The Holy Cow, Nandi

Nandi can be found in many hindu temples worldwide. It is a holy bull for the hindus - the vehicle and the flag of Lord Shiva. It is a common sight on  the walls of the Shiva temples. The long past of this emblem will be very evident from the fact that this emblem has been found in the excavations of Harappa Mohanjadaro (the so-called Indus valley civilisation sites). According to Shaivite scriptures the bull represents the dharma (justice).

read this poem and write a 16 line poem in the form of goblin market, so it has to be selling things,

Maids heard the goblins cry:
"Come buy our orchard fruits,
Come buy, come buy:
Apples and quinces,
Lemons and oranges,
Plump unpecked cherries-
Melons and raspberries,
Bloom-down-cheeked peaches,
Swart-headed mulberries,
Wild free-born cranberries,
Crab-apples, dewberries,
Pine-apples, blackberries,
Apricots, strawberries--
All ripe together
In summer weather--
Morns that pass by,
Fair eves that fly;
Come buy, come buy;
Our grapes fresh from the vine,
Pomegranates full and fine,
Dates and sharp bullaces,
Rare pears and greengages,
Damsons and bilberries,
Taste them and try:
Currants and gooseberries,
Bright-fire-like barberries,
Figs to fill your mouth,
Citrons from the South,
Sweet to tongue and sound to eye,
Come buy, come buy."

1. How do politics, preexisting preferences and power negatively affect the group process? What effects have you seen of each of these variables in group decision making? 

I see how preexisting preferences and power can affect directly and indirectly right, this is damn easy. But politics, I don't get it, do they mean politics such as rules and methods and policies  or  do they mean the politic stuffs like Obama, war on iraq and else ?

Thanks.
