migrants who were returning home. Many factors other than migration, have contributed to change in AE. Technological advances exposed to region to a more standard form of English (Richards, 2001). As further advances were made, it became easier for individuals to travel; the residents of Appalachia were exposed to more forms of English. These advances made the region more susceptible to change, which accounts for the changes in…

Hello and welcome! Thanks for coming by today. So, I have an idea for a movie that will be unlike anything you have ever heard of, thought of, or have seen. One of the best things about this pitch you’re going to hear is that it is for an animated film project, which allows us to save some costs and yet be even more adventurous. I got the idea from a Chinese graphic novel and I have lined up Chinese investors to bring the idea to the screen. So, like, are you ready? Sweet...take a seat. We open…

In 1950, China forced Tibet to be part of the People’s Republic of China. The People’s Republic of China was created by Mao Zedong, he wanted it to become the “the people’s democratic republic”. This was not as simple as it sounds. China gave no choice to the Tibetans on whether or not they could join. China was not so considerate when doing so. China was very brutal to Tibet. What China has done to Tibet, causes them to be seen as an independent state, which is no good for Tibet. The upcoming…

All students should have access to a diverse staff. The Assessment of Diversity in America’s Teaching Force (2004) states that more minority teachers would provide opportunities for all students to learn about ethnic, racial, and cultural diversity, and serve as cultural brokers, able not only to help students navigate their school environment and culture, but also to increase the involvement of other teachers and parents. It is important for all students to interact with people who look and…

Anthropology by definition is the study of human societies, the cultures that they create and the development that is caused by the evolution of those societies. Thus it should be important for anthropologists to study the many development projects that are proposed by organizations around the world. The concept of development projects first began after World War II as the West began trying to piece Europe back together. After the Marshal Plan was signed in 1948 the United States then turned to…

however, they are so resistant of entomophagy; a source of food that has many medical benefits. Many regions in India have adapted to entomophagy, and have proved its benefits to medicinal practices. Refocusing on the idea of living in the Age of Bacteria, it is clear that becoming immune to the earth’s natural products are an important part of boosting one’s immune system. Entomophagy is a cultural phenomenon in foreign cultures, and is a tradition that lives on to harness the food of their…

which they live. Through the myriad of processes and mechanisms used to alter the landscape sometimes come deliberate alterations of symbolism or meaning. The sub-dicipline of cultural geography investigates the variation of these symbolisms, traditions, and cultural products across time and space. It is through the lens of cultural geography, especially in respect to environmental symbolism, that we can interpret the value and meaning attributed to everyday phenomena such as vegetation. It has…

political reasons, or to find ways for development. In other words, while using a ethnographic analysis, anthropologists who uses the application of knowledge and theory based on the observation of human behavior in regions to find a solution to the problems that lies within that region or neighboring communities. Applied anthropology has played a major role in societies by improving human conditions and giving more to anthropological knowledge which involves three important articles: 1)…

viewed “with the same kind of fullness of life experience that is required to perform songs or plays” (M&V 289). Additionally “most humanly made marks on rocks were made by people at a great distance from us, either in terms of time or in terms of cultural continuity with our own forms of life” this means that using a term like “art” to describe rock art does not do justice to the items it is describing (M&V, 289). A Western term cannot fully describe something whose concept it cannot fully…

countries and regions. Take Macao for example, in Fig. 1 in the appendix one will see that there were more tourists from China performing heritage tourism compared to international tourists. A reason for this may be that Asian tourists value the Portuguese-style architecture of the historic centre of Macao more than European tourists and American tourists. The case study in Macao should not be expected to work in all world heritage sites since Macao only has one world heritage site in the…
