Although other factors such as type of food available and suitable shelter also play a role, Burmese pythons and other giant constrictor snakes have shown themselves to be highly adaptable to new environments.

Another reason there was drama with the press is because someone wrote in an article misleading information.

Over the context of this paper, I will observe and implement my own culture through a magnifying glass to get a perspective of an outsider, and I will compare an aspect of another culture from an insider’s perspective in order to become more aware with the motivations behind the practice. Specifically, I will discuss the condition of higher education in America, contrasted with the practice of polygyny among African families to show how Sub-Saharan Africans view as “normal” in a larger context,…
