start to think about what culture is. My own definition was very broad, and I realized that I have generally thought about culture being related to race. I always think of ‘black’ culture or ‘white’ culture, and that always directly related to how people act and react in different situations. The perception I have of myself as a cultural being has developed throughout my lifetime. Growing up, I was very shy and quiet, and somewhat still am today. I was, and often still am, asked: “what are you?” The…
read your reply. I say strange because I feel several things all together and I want to explain them to you: I do like to read you want to talk about it In an odd way, I 'm almost glad you don 't like to hear about it, because it probably means you feel what we do in our intimacy is so special and you are afraid I 'm having something that special with someone else. But I 'm not sure about this feeling. I shouldn 't be liking this at all. I am afraid. I am afraid of hurting you. I am afraid of loosing…
JoJo, states, “Being the oldest, I know how to speak and I understand more than my younger siblings, but since I didn’t grow up in the Taidam Village or strictly speak Taidam in the household, like my dad, it’s harder to know every word, that my other relatives, are saying” (Baccam). The Taidam words and phrases that the children say might not sound exactly the same, but the children can get their point across, and the adults, or older Taidam people, can understand what the younger generation is trying…
left to think about everything you have ever done in your entire lifetime and ask yourself one more question, what will it be? I lived in a one bedroom apartment, I knew no one, and I did the exact same thing, every single day. I woke up, got dressed, went to the police station, got into my car, and drive around doing whatever I needed to do. In such an immense metropolis, commercial, flashing yellow-taxI filled city like Redison, Nevada, there are always things to do. I used to know everyone in the…
The physical space between two people can be awkward for some, and I find that many people when forced to sit next to each other, such as on a plane, will usually at least exchange pleasantries. In many instances, once the hello’s and where are you headed statements are expressed, people are prone to nestle into their own world, which is exactly what I do when I travel. Imagine my astonishment when my predestined and unknown traveling companion on my recent flight home shared that she was an atheist…
out my life I have known that my way of thinking and I would change with time. I have always thought that I would evolve more and be well educated because I always like to push my self, but i didn’t get the access I needed to that information. However, I can say now that I never thought that my mind would develop to what it did in the past quarter. I started understanding more information in depth and really analyzing information I get. I had a small understanding of spirituality like I identified…
Section 1: What I know, What I want to Know Prior to my research, I knew that anxiety had to be more than just a side effect of thinking too much or it “all being in your head”. From personal experience, I knew that anxiety was something that was not easy to deal with, and that there had to be other people out there who have similar symptoms as I do. Also, I knew that anxiety triggers something in an individual’s brain that lead to self-defense because I had taken a health science class my freshman…
's a pestilential voice in my head that keeps on pestering me about the choices I 've made in life. What if you had done this differently? It says; and then gets me pondering over everything I 've come across in life. Maybe if I had acted a bit maturely, a bit reasonably at times, things would have been different. Maybe, just maybe I would have been a completely different person. Life could have had shaped me disparately. I would have been someone else. Should 've, would 've, could 've;…
What I Know / What I Want To Learn 1.2 million Americans get a abortion each year. I was shocked to see this number on my screen when I was researching. I knew a bit of stuff about abortion before I started researching, but not that. I know abortion is where they end the pregnancy, and take out the embryo or fetus from the womb before the 'baby ' can survive on its own. There are 2 different kinds of abortion in the United States, medical and surgical. Abortion is legal in all states.. Which shocks…
Growing up in life I have realized that school may not be the thing for me. I have always struggled to be a consistent student and was honestly surprised when I made it to college. Since my freshman year I have always thought that the Military might be the path for me. One thing that I know about myself is that I need structure to succeed, where has more structure than our armed forces? One thing I knew about myself is that if I joined the Military I wouldn’t want to be just another soldier…
