Imagine if an alien in 3011 came to earth and finds a bag full of all my personal stuff. The things he will see are artifacts that I loved as a kid and as a teen. This will let him know how life used to be at that time. As he goes by this will let him know what kind of personality I had. Just looking at the object he will have a good idea of who I was.…
This artifact shows my personal responsibility to my Girls Cross Country team in 2014. This was one of the biggest steps I took within my four years of high school. Joining the Cross Country team came with a lot of blood, sweat, and tears; but I must say this sport not only showed me how to push myself physically and mentally but it also showed me what it means to have a team; a…
The day of the dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico in the central and south regions with wearing wood masks and honoring deceased relatives. 2. Two 50-word short paragraphs about 2 different traditions: one of these traditions is honoring loved ones that passed away. People make this important because people tell stories about their family members. They also make food for the dead and decorate the dead’s gravesites.…
In the end though Daylight Savings Time is important because it greatly diminishes energy consumption and saves civilians lives from the extra daylight. Opponents may argue that Daylight Savings Time is a precursor to sleep problems but that is a false accusation. In one of the sources it stated that, “Daylight saving time is associated with sleep disruptions and possibly more serious consequences” (Source E). The notion that the change of an hour of time can throw off a sleep schedule is preposterous.…
“The body clock of most people between age 10 and 55 is not well suited to rising early” Dr. Kelley said, most people use their alarm clocks because they usually don’t wake up at the time they are suppose to be waking up to go school or work.…
I carry many things on my person at all times of the day. There are things that can be seen and others that can’t be seen. Everything that I carry either has a story or a meaning behind it. The tangible objects that I carry are the ones that have meanings behind them. The intangible ones have stories which give them life and either lift me or burden me.…
Throughout the process of creating my mask, I became aware of who I am. I learned that I am more than what people see on the surface. My mask reflects a lot about me; however, some of the things that I have placed on my mask have a greater importance to me than others, and influence on who I am. My family, my horses, a dream that I have for the future, piano, and why I have the images where they are on my mask, are all things that I take great importance in. I chose to add a family tree into my mask because it's important to me.…
There are four important objects that I carry with me at all times. My journal, my car keys, a letter, and a photo. I have lived the same routine for two years now, probably more. School, work, and then home; nothing more. I work 45-50 hours a week and, honestly, it's hard.…
We mentally prepare ourselves to wake up on time and what to do after. I am convinced by all the scientific evidence provided by Carr in the article. Scientific evidence includes how our mind rewires itself constantly and making and breaking old neuron channels. Seeing this particular example offers confirmation to how the internet is replacing the clock currently. Google keeps on developing and changing the ways things are seen on a daily basis because the internet is the part of everything…
When I walk into my room the first thing I see is the pictures of my family and a picture of my favorite soccer club, Real Madrid. To you, it may seem like a bunch of old useless stuff, but to me, it has infinite meaning to it. Home is the only place where I feel comfortable placing those…
A. Attention Getter: I know the majority of the class are thinking, “Oh no, is that a cricket ball? Anything, but that lame sport.” I bet everyone would rather watch the Cleveland Browns lose to a high school football team or even watch Donald Trump play golf for the whole day than watch a single boring cricket game. B. Reason to Listen: It has become a meme to insult the sport of cricket, and rightfully so. Cricket is not popular sport in America, and it will never be accepted as a major sport.…
Everyone has a place that makes them feel at ease. These special places have a power over us to change our minds and attitudes in seconds. When thinking of these places our worries seem to come to a sudden pause. We feel an extreme amount of comfort and reassurance. The golf course, my car, and being home are all places that mean the most to me.…

For each object, I will then identify what aspects of non-material culture (values and beliefs) these objects represent. Finally, I will reveal what this exercise has revealed to you me about my culture. There are clear differences between material and non-material culture, according to Little et.…
Parents Everyone has a symbol of what they want or need in life, and how it has come to symbolize everything that they want, as well as what it represents, in that hand my symbol and something that means so much to me will have to be my parents. To me my parents represent happiness, protection, and ambition. Parents in general are the closest human beings that we will ever have. Parents don’t just love and care for us just because we are intelligent, or have a nice haircut, but because we are what we are- their children. To me, my parents represent love.…
