Hello Koj Tuaj Analysis

Decent Essays
“Hello” and “Koj tuaj” are two ways that Jeany welcomes the customers. Koj tuaj is the same as saying hello, it actually means “you’re here”, so when a hmong customer comes in “koj tuaj” will usually be said. When I asked her what the hardest part of her job was she had stated, “One of the toughest thing was actually interacting with the customers,welcoming them to the store and talking to them”. I agree with what Jeany had said, she wanted me to welcome the customers and I couldn’t even do something that was as simple as that. While at TL I had done most of the jobs that would’ve been done as an employee. The jobs were fun and it involved a lot of moving so it didn’t turn out to be boring! Before even entering the store I asked about what

    This episode helped me understand how important the finding of Turkana Boy was, the 1st earliest Homo-erectus skeleton ever to be discovered. The finding of this skeleton lets us know besides having a smaller brain, wider hips, and a small bit of longer arms homo erectus are very much like us. The main difference though is their growth rate represented a chimpanzee rather than a human. This allowed me to stop for a moment and reflect on my thinking and perception on what I have learned in anthropology so far and made me realize the major change from homo erectus from us was brain size and like the video stated what allowed this increase of brain size was longer juvenile periods. The part of this episode that really stuck out to me where…

    Hi Ju Young, I agree with you that the Secret Clinical is categorized as women’s men because although Susan is at work, she is focusing on men instead.

For example, emphasizing that Susan is interested in cute men and seeks a man to marry. Almost as if the purpose of women is for them to get married.…
