As readers, we frequently notice how authors helps show the characters motivations based off of their surroundings, and what is around them. But, as we read on, many don’t consider that certain things such as objects, people, or realizations help encourage characters in a story. Could you envision the book, “The Outsiders” without Johnny, and also the Socs? The Socs were the ones who drove Johnny to save Ponyboy’s life, by ending somebody else's. Knowing the characters motivations such as Lina…

Historically, in Europe, polygyny was practiced in order to both ensure the birth of a son thus ensuring the continuance of monarchies. Additionally, some rulers practiced polygyny in order to, “build alliances with or annex neighboring kingdoms” (Ember 193), ergo providing a means of achieving peace between various principalities. Moreover, the practice of polygyny can provide various social benefits as well. As mentioned in our textbooks, a study conducted by Connie Anderson found that women…

discreteness with regard to time and space, but the Hopi does not.” (C. Ember, M. Ember, and P. Peregrine, 245). If I had grown up speaking Hopi-English I feel that I would not be able to fully grasp the understanding of distinguishing past, present, and future. Our textbook also states that Hopi expresses things with more of an idea of ongoing processes without time being apportioned into fixed segments (C. Ember, M. Ember, and P. Peregrine, 245).

In April 22, 1550, the country that we know today as Brazil, was discovered. This time Christopher didn’t sail the seven seas to find South America and Brazil. This time it was a Portuguese explorer who discovered Brazil. This Portuguese explorer was called Pedro Alvares. Pedro wasn’t trying to look for new land, he was simply trying to go for India. On his way heading west, like any explorer, he ended up on one of the coasts of South America. Now this isn’t just any coast of South America, he…

As mentioned in our textbook, the social stratification of various societies means that, “they contain social groups such as families, classes, or ethnic groups that have unequal access to important advantages” (Ember 138). These advantages that stratified individuals have unequal access to include economic resources, power, and prestige, which can limit individuals from gaining and retaining wealth, individual control, and respect from others. Therefore, one of the specific consequences of…

faces into turnips and potatoes. They did not use pumpkins because Ireland was not introduced/had pumpkins until someone figured it was a better canvas in America. Jack-o-lanterns were used (as turnips and potatoes) to ward off evil spirits and had an ember in it. Jack-o-lanterns come from an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack. Stingy Jack folktale is about a man who had tricked the devil, not once, but twice or more. The story first starts in a bar in which Jack had tricked the devil!…

biggest ethical difference between the US and Brazil in terms of race, as in Brazil, the racial understanding is different because the “one-drop” rule does not apply there, as well is race is not about the skin color but rather the economic status (Ember & Ember, 2001). Business Impacts and Opportunities from Diversity As it was mentioned earlier, diversity has extremely high rates in Brazil, so foreign investors should consider them when starting a business in the country. Brazilian society is…

1) In The Passionate Journey Friedan describes the first wave of feminism during the late 1800’s into the early 1900’s. She talks of the fire that these women felt for their cause and wonders what happened in the to the mind set of those born after the 1920’s; social pressure is what, I feel, caused the change in behavior of women. 2) While reading these chapter I began to see the pattern that is often seen in history if one pay close enough attention. The slow start of an idea, like trying to…
