Ethos

Ethos (/ˈθɒs/ or US /ˈθs/) is a Greek word meaning "character" that is used to describe the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, nation, or ideology. The Greeks also used this word to refer to the power of music to influence its hearer's emotions, behaviors, and even morals. Early Greek stories of Orpheus exhibit this idea in a compelling way. The word's use in rhetoric is closely based on the Greek terminology used by Aristotle in his concept of the three artistic proofs.

Etymology and origin

Ethos (ἦθος, ἔθος, plurals: ethe (ἤθη), ethea (ἤθεα)) is a Greek word originally meaning "accustomed place" (as in ἤθεα ἵππων "the habitats of horses", Iliad 6.511, 15.268), "custom, habit", equivalent to Latin mores.

Ethos forms the root of ethikos (ἠθικός), meaning "moral, showing moral character". Used as a verb in the neuter plural form ta ethika (τὰ ἠθικά), used for the study of morals, it is the origin of the modern English word ethics.

Current usage

In modern usage, ethos denotes the disposition, character, or fundamental values particular to a specific person, people, corporation, culture, or movement. The term refers to the spirit which motivates the ideas and customs. For example, the poet and critic T.S. Eliot wrote that "The general ethos of the people they have to govern determines the behavior of politicians." According to the historian Orlando Figes, in the 1920s "The ethos of the Communist party dominated every aspect of public life in Soviet Russia."

Charli Baltimore

Tiffany Lane (born August 16, 1974), better known as Charli Baltimore, is a Grammy-nominated American rappersongwriter. Her stage name is taken from Geena Davis's character in the film The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Musical career

Lane was born to a German father and an African-American mother. She was primarily raised by her elder half-sister, Yolanda. She graduated from Peirce College and became a certified paralegal. Lane has two daughters, India and Siaani. She gave birth to her eldest daughter when she was 14 years old.

She met The Notorious B.I.G. in the summer of 1995, and they became involved in a romantic relationship. B.I.G. introduced her to Lance "Un" Rivera, who signed her and Cam'ron to his new label, Untertainment. She made her first appearance in the music industry in 1995 with Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s "Get Money" playing The Notorious B.I.G's then wife Faith Evans. Her first video was in 1998 with the hit "Money" featured on the Woo movie soundtrack.

Ethos (magazine)

Ethos was a biannual magazine published between 2007 and 2014 for Serco Group plc by Sunday Publishing Ltd. The stated aim of Ethos was to "stimulate thought and provoke reaction to the big issues shaping the world of public services" while the publisher's brief was to "position Serco at the forefront of debate about the design and delivery of the UK’s public services".Ethos was published online every month and in print twice a year.

Contributors

Contributors were drawn from across the political spectrum including journalists, academics, politicians, experts, think tanks and industry leaders. They included Jane Dudman, Mark Easton, Hugh Orde, Christian Wolmar, Polly Toynbee and John Rentoul. Ethos also featured UK think tank leaders, including ResPublica's director Phillip Blond and Andrew Haldenby, director of Reform.

Topics

Ethos covered issues surrounding public services, from health to local government and justice to transport, with a UK focus but bringing in relevant insights and perspectives from overseas. During 2012/13 a series of articles examined the structure, design, challenges and successes of different models of public service delivery. Joint venture, government-owned, contractor-operated (GoCo) and mutuals were amongst the models covered.

Ethos

by: A Voice Like Rhetoric

And i can't get the taste of steel out of my mouth
Off of my tongue
It's glued to my lips
My sense dull so take them run
But leave my eyes, I'll use them yet
With 20/20 I'll strike you numb
So partisans
Can you hear me?
I lost my voice
So i'll write it down
As the ink dries it wipes away
Lets take a headcount, we lost another one
And i can't get the taste of steel out of my mouth
Off of my tongue
It's glued to my lips
My senses dull so take them run
But leave my eyes, I'll use them yet
With 20/20 I'll strike you numb
So how do you load this thing again?
This is the worlds
Smallest violin
It plays my heart
Bleeds for you
My teeth chatter
With pulse like collision
I wish that i was analog
Lets take a headcount
We lost another one
Hold this strong
Don't look past the sediment
So take this chalk and make all your outlines thick
Tape the scene and my iron lung's turning off
I read these lines like lips
A dialogue in a room
And my hopes they sink like anchors
And the chains hold strong
Sediment stirs up
As if it were the slightest bit of hope
(And oh yeah baby
My hopes sink just like anchors alright)
