Kudzu Research Paper

Improved Essays
A species that has been moved by humans from its normal habitat to a new habitat, either intentionally or by mistake. A deliberate introduction is when you forcefully get a species in your area, it's not by accident and you know it will be part of your ecosystem. An accidental introduction, however, is when a species comes over unplanned. Maybe an animal gets under a boat in Europe and travels to America, no one said to get the species into the USA. Most people call this plant by Kudzu, but its scientific name in “Pueraria lobata” , this species belongs to the plant kingdom. Kudzu has had a negative effect on the environment in forests and local ecosystems its biggest impact is on the South. Kudzu is a quick-growing east Asian climbing plant

I was fortunate enough to hear how the older generation and the younger generation view the practice of Yakudoshi, compare their views on food, hear and learn about some Japanese etiquettes (especially in the use of chopsticks as I described it in the discussion experience below), and hear their views on interracial marriage. Although the young Japanese couple had a hard time convincing their children to consume some of their meal, watching the young…
