Spray Paint. Stencils. Markers. Pencils. Art. Vandalism. Jail? Jackson was 17 when it happened. When his whole life turned around just because of something he enjoyed, something that helped him tell the world how he felt. Graffiti was Jackson’s only way of feeling okay even happy, but after one of his best pieces on the back of an abandoned building downtown, Jackson was arrested and charged with vandalism and destruction of private property. While some people see graffiti as vandalism and a…

As profound as the relationship described is, Carr does not avoid the pitfall of strong convictions in his piece. Carr presents studies that show that the web is definitely impacting the users. However, Carr’s feeling about this change is one heavily associated with negatives. Maryanne Wolf of Tufts University notes that “the style of reading promoted by the Net, a style that puts “efficiency” and “immediacy” above all else, may be weakening our capacity for the kind of deep reading that emerged…

always leave a piece of art you have created behind. To me a body can be considered a piece of art, because two people have created it, and you have made the art unique by making it yourself. To me cave art is considered art because the in the Paleolithic age our ancestors took the time to create something that was on their mind. Whether it was drawings telling a story in the caves or a design on a rock. It was developed by the mind of our ancestors, who are the only ones able to tell us what…

Hunting and the use of tools are connected; without tools, there would not be any hunting, and without hunting, what would you really use tools for? Archaic Homo sapiens are associated with middle Paleolithic tool assemblages (developed Oldowan and Acheulean tools), and cannibalism as well as hunting other large and small animals. Archaic Homo sapiens used developed Oldowan and Acheulean tools, as well as prepared core (Conroy and Pontzer). Most of these tools used were either made from stone…

Who were the people that discovered North America? How did they get here and why did the come? Approximately 30,000 years ago, small groups of Paleolithic hunters and food gatherers began to migrate toward North America from Asia. The migration of these people took place when temperatures dropped greatly from what they had been. This was known as the Ice Age. During the Ice Age, a great amount of water froze into thick sheets, which caused the sea level to drop. The exposed a land bridge between…

A long time ago Hunter-Gatherers was the main way of getting food and resources needed to survive. Hunter-Gatherer is defined as “a member of a nomadic people who live chiefly by hunting, fishing, and harvesting wild food”. Back then they had no social hierarchy, no powers, and no special building used for religious beliefs. In today’s society we have evolved into farmers which agriculture and farming came in slowly. Farming is defined as “the activity or business of growing crops and raising…

characteristics allowed for long distance migration which meant diverse environments. The species adapted to its diverse surrounding by learning to hunt and gather cooperatively. (Kottak 186) Another adaptation was tool use. H. erectus began using Lower Paleolithic tools known as Acheulean, named after the village of St. Acheul in France where they were found. They would repeatedly flake off pieces of rock in order to make sharp edges which would eventually become a hand axe shaped like a…

Mental heath has been misunderstood since the beginning of time and continues to be a misconceived subject. Although, mental health treatment has come a long way from the ancient Paleolithic trephining, which was the process of boring a hole into the skull to relieve pressure in the head or clear out bone fragments. The Ancient Greeks were one of the first civilizations to have mental health treatment similar to modern day. Their journey to the understanding of the brain is fascinating as they…

Gum is believed to have been around since the paleolithic age. Although, we know for sure that the Ancient Greeks made a type of gum called “mastic gum”. They called it that because they made it from mastic trees. The Italians used frankincense, and the Arabs used beeswax. The colonists adopted chewing…
