Life in Chechnya

Life in Chechnya | FCHS AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY | Scoop.it

Photojournalist Diana Markosian spent the last year and half covering Russia's volatile North Caucasus region.

 

These 33 photos are arranged to tell the cultural story of life in Chechnya, especially the life of young women coming of age in the aftermath of the war.  As the architecture of this mosque suggests, the influence of traditional Islamic values and Russian political authority have greatly shaped the lives of the Chechen people.

The way women in Chechnya live is in line with how many Muslim women around the world live. They must cover their bodies and follow proper gender codes. Unfortunately, these girls still have very little power as is the case in many Muslim countries. Overall, it is amazing how many different cultures and ethnicities held inside of Russia.

Apps Developed to Maintain Chin Dialects - Myanmar News Linking Site

Apps Developed to Maintain Chin Dialects - Myanmar News Linking Site | FCHS AP HUMAN GEOGRAPHY | Scoop.it
From www.news.myanmaronlinecentre.com - November 7, 2012 7:35 PM

◈ “Chin communities and individuals have made attempts to protect and improve their dialects by developing new mobile and online application software.

The Chinland Development Co., Ltd (CDC), based in Rangoon, Burma late last month launched a new app of an English-Chin-Myanmar dictionary for handheld devices such as iPhone, iPod, and iPad.”

◈ “Another new software program called ‘Zolaisinna’ meaning learning the Zomi or Chin language, according to the Myanmar Times, was launched in Rangoon last month.

Software developer Tg Chin Suan Kap, 24, was quoted as saying that he was motivated to develop the application to protect their literature from disappearing.

“This is a chance to learn the Chin language without a teacher. Parents don’t have time to teach their children their own language … This is one way I can help in the development of my people,” said Tg Chin Suan Kap, originally from Tonzang Township of Chin State.”
