Have you ever been to a place that left an impact on you? A place that was so exceptional and special to you that it nested itself into your mind? A place that you just could not forget because it was almost too fascinating to seem real? Well, for me that place is Hawaii. As a kid, my parents brought my siblings and I to Hawaii for a vacation, and to this day it remains the most pleasurable place I have ever visited. Although there are so many things that have stuck in my mind about Hawaii, the most exciting and alluring features about the Aloha State are the culture, the scenery, and the atmosphere. If I had it my way, I would have stayed in Hawaii forever. The culture in Hawaii is much different compared to New Jersey, where I am from. When we arrived to the airport we were greeted with leis being put around our necks and a group of people performing a song and dance for us.

It truly is one of the most stunning places I have ever seen. From the culture to the scenery and the atmosphere, these are reasons why I am so inspired by the Aloha State. The culture is very important to the natives there which really interested me. The scenery is the main motive for my eagerness to take a trip back to Hawaii. It is truly an amazing place. The atmosphere just feels free. The way I felt when I was in Hawaii is a feeling I will never forget. I felt a sense of happiness and I felt a connection to not only Hawaii as a place but the nature and beauty of it. These things combined are reasons why I am so moved by Hawaii. I absolutely plan on traveling back one day and I can't wait!. I know that the next visit will be just as remarkable if not more than the first! So, who wants to

    At night in the summertime it is even more peaceful and the scents and air are different. The air feels warm yet breezy and filled with the scent of pine trees and bark. The water feels a bit warmer because the sun has been beating on it all day. You can’t really see anything below you, and that’s what makes it awesome because it creates a sense of curiosity, but a bit freaky at the same time. Laying on my back in the water and looking up at the stars and the moon, is just a pretty sight.…

    In this Anthropology class, most if not all of the societies that we look at and investigate have some form of evidence that shows the emergence of social complexity and complex structure like states or civilizations. The article of Norman Yoffee states, “All human societies develop along a universal "evolutionary" trajectory from small and egalitarian to large and socially complex”.

I believe that there are many different evolutionary possibilities in societies. In Norman Yoffee’s article, page 72 figure 6.6 shows a more accurate trajectory of evolution in social complexity where there…

    Out of all the multifarious places I have traveled, the Bahamas was by far my favorite trip.

We went to the Bahamas with one mission, to win the entire tournament; but we accomplished much more. We bonded with one another and experienced a once in a lifetime opportunity. The memories that I made during my trip will forever be in the back of my mind.…
