its inspiration from the U.S, and it has been like this for centuries. After the first Hollywood movies came on the market, Norwegian’s have been obsessed with the American culture. It started with the introduction of Coke, now you have Skittles, Oreos, Snickers, and even Beef Jerky has made its way to the Norwegian shelfs. That being said, replacing the already existing traditional goods, is not an easy task. For that reason, we must introduce just a few variations at first. Too many will…

Wisconsin Dells You’re never going to believe what just happened… So, it all started yesterday. Me, Kayliegh (my best friend), her mom, my mom, and Kayleigh’s baby brother, Tristan. We were all going to Wisconsin Dells for a girls trip (well, besides Tristan anyways,). We were taking a car, because it was stupid amounts of money to fly this many people. The car ride would take about 5 hours, not including eating and restroom breaks. We loaded the car and headed for Wisconsin at around 7:00 a.m…
PURPOSE We used chemical indicators to identify possible sugar, starch, protein, and lipids present within two common food items as well as the dead Anna Garcia’s stomach contents. HYPOTHESIS If Anna ate foods like pizza, ice cream, and Oreo cookies like she said on her food log, then her stomach contents should react with the chemical indicators for glucose, maybe starch due to the pizza. INTRODUCTION The experiment considers the types of macromolecules within each piece of food. Each type…
I have always been fascinated by human behavior. I pondered the actions of my peers, questioned the foundation of social norms, and often found myself acting as the “mediator” during conflicts between friends and family. For these reasons, I decided to study forensic psychology at John Jay College and originally planned to pursue a PhD in Psychology. My initial goal was to become a clinical psychologist and work with members from marginalized communities. However, as I advanced in my academic…
It requires a little more focus and attention to make sure you get all the the vitamins and nutrients you need from a vegan diet, but eating healthy vegan foods (as opposed to a diet of pasta with margarine and oreos) like grains, legumes, and a whole lot of fruits and vegetables, is incredibly beneficial. The main points always called into question are protein and Vitamin B12. As protein goes, while only animal products contain complete proteins, it is perfectly…
There have been many misconceptions regarding what obesity is and how you get or become obese. This is because many people may not know what obesity really is. Just to clear it up, Merriam-Webster defines obesity “a condition characterized by the excessive accumulation and storage of fat in the body”. This is basically saying that if you have accumulated more than the recommended amount of body fat, you are overweight. More than 68.8% of the American population is obese. Of that, about 22.9% are…
In this paper, I will review the experiences of Lawrence Otis Graham at Princeton University, his alma matter, using the functionalist, group/conflict, cultural, network, and interactionist perspectives. Ultimately, I will conclude that the interactionist perspective delivers the most compelling analysis of Graham’s college experience. Through the functionalist perspective, segregation and racism at Princeton University are societal functions that promoted positive ends for the Princeton…
I grew up in a Caribbean, conservative, Christian, ‘no nonsense’ household, where being Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender (LGBT) was not only frowned upon, but unthinkable. This led to my intolerable attitude towards members of the LGBT community growing up, and a great deal of hateful speech during my years in middle school and part of high school. This changed when a friend in high school told me he was gay. I was shocked, and truthfully, I did not know what to do. At first, I did what…
