unable to find all that she wants in one man and she has multiple partners to help meet each of her need. It is easy to want to hate Catherine but she is a character to be admired. Catherine is a woman that fears domestication and routine. She did everything in her power to avoid domestication. She wanted Jules, Jim and any of her multiple partners to constantly be aware of who was in charge in their relationship even up until the very end when she eventually takes her life and Jim’s. This…

This was because people could help in ways they were best at and not stuck with one role they weren’t succeeding at. One role that was developed was a leader, and without a leader civilizations wouldn’t be able to form. Agriculture brought the domestication of animals. This meant people could have a consistent source of meat and did not have to travel for months at a time. They also could have pets, a way to travel, and bigger animals could be used to move thing like building materials. Overall,…

would a person, a not very bright person but a person nonetheless. This isn’t the best approach to training an animal and it’s an issue that Sophia Yin addresses in her book, “How to Behave So Your Dog Behaves”. Yin covers everything from the domestication of dogs to different techniques that can be used to teach dogs various tricks like sit- and down- stay. Dogs, it is learned as one reads the book, are much more complicated then we might realize. Research has shown that dogs have the same…

As we start the quarter’s readings, a major concept that was discussed on Monday (10/05/15) is seen right away. “Domination, Domestication and love are deeply entangled,” suggests the usage of Intersections to compare and contrast various details. In the sentence followed, “Home is where dependencies within and among species reach their most stifling [constrained],” the author, Anna Tsing, gives an uncommon definition of home, giving it a scientific sensation rather than a literary. As we…

Me? I mean these women are my daughters and yet they have denied me the chance to speak at their weddings. I am their father for god sake! Is it because I refused to allow Bianca to marry before Kate? It couldn’t be? Could it? I am good-hearted and generous toward my two daughters, providing lavishing expensive books and lessons upon them both. This decision had to be of Kate’s. I do love her, but she is so extremely strong-willed, saying whatever she thinks and expressing whatever she feels,…

The Columbian Exchange refers to the exchange of diseases, ideas, foods, crops, and populations between the New World and the Old World following the voyage to the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1492. The exchange not only brought gains, but also losses. European contact enabled the transmission of diseases to previously isolated communities, which caused devastation far exceeding that of even the Black Death in fourteenth-century Europe. The neo-Columbian exchange denned the Greater…

The modification of the Paleolithic Era to the Neolithic Era was a gradual yet momentous alteration; it was a pivotal point of a time period that defined the revolutionary progression of mankind, permanently refining the way that early humans —and their successors— operated within their societies. Numerous advances of great magnitude occurred consecutively throughout a time of radical change, beginning with the major revision of how they lived. For an extended period of time, early humans knew…

question, an overpopulation of domesticated stray animals pose public health and safety concerns, thus questioning the safeguard of humans who may coexist with them. But from a cultural standpoint, one must cease to dismiss the history of animal domestication over the millennia. More specifically, felines and canines have been bred and domesticated over anthropological history to be our workers, our companions, and even our teachers. From the symbolic standpoint,…

to them to keep at it or let the wild take them away, and this is what Buck and White Fang are up against (London, 1988, 1979). Will they stay true to the call or take the less traveled road (Frost, 1916)? The call of the wild and the call of domestication are opposites; almost like Yin and Yang, without one the other…

exemplified. Pre-columbian indians have been said to come close to the greatness that surrounds the characteristics of a sophisticated society. Though native accomplishments have proven a technological feat, their civilizations didn't acquire the domestication of large animals, steel weaponry, steady production of goods, functioning currency, communication with other empires, or smart military tactics that further define the sophistication of an empire. Pre-columbian civilizations were…
