Who is blamed when a dog attacks a person? Sometimes it’s the dog, but sometimes it’s the owner. In Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, a monster is created and is then left to his own devices as he hasn’t been trained on how to act properly. The monster is forced to wander the globe in search of someone who will accept how ugly he is rather than run away from him. Due to the lack of attention Victor gives to the monster, Victor should not be pitied; but instead, the monster should receive the most…

In the second project, we were required to write about an artifact from a specific culture, and describe our relationship with this artifact. I chose my E-reader (aka the Amazon Kindle) to be my artifact. This E-reader is not a part of my own culture, actually, I could have chosen something else that is from my culture. However, when I look up my possessions, I did not find any artifact that I have special relationship with, and use it in a daily basis. I think my Kindle was something special to…

The article I chose alluded the implications of Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) and other similar platforms. AMT's goal is to "break jobs into smaller tasks and offer them to people across the globe" (Inside Amazon's clickworker platform, Reese and Heath). Conversely, Hope Reese and Nick Heath attempt to challenge the intent behind AMT. In the title of their article, Reese and Heath ask the following question: Does AMT and its' peers " democratize work or exploit the disempowered?" The article…

de facto moratorium on cattle originating from illegally deforested land. While the larger processors have the resources to monitor their suppliers, the smaller often lack the sufficient means do to so (Stokes et al., 2014). The largest importer of Amazon agricultural products is China (WWF, 2016). Chinese demand for soy incentives the expansion of soy farming which in turn pressures the conversion of pastures into farmland. This could in turn pressure the conversion of forests into new…

When I was ten years old, my mother and I went on a month long trip to Quito, Ecuador to visit my father and other family. One day my abuelo (my grandfather) told my mom and I that he was going to take us on a trip to the edge of the Amazon rainforest. Although this probably sounds really interesting, I was against this trip from the first mention of it. However, since I was ten, my objection meant nothing and the trip happened as planned. We got up very early the day of the trip, a factor…
