which the Hodenosaunee surpass all their neighbors. Sometimes several hundred acres of tilled land surround a single village. Of maize or Indian corn, the staple crop, several varieties are known – flint and starchy corns as well as sweet corn and popcorn. In the same fields with maize, and usually in the same hills, the Hodenosaunee plant beans, squashes and pumpkins. They cultivate tobacco, melons, and sunflowers in separate plots. (Murdock, 1934, p. 4) After using the land for some time, the…
Growing Knowledge I would not even know where to begin with all the things I have done in my life that have involved reading, writing and speaking. Although language arts has never been a strength of mine, I have improved significantly in these topics. However, I was never alone when improving on these skills. No matter the situation I have always been motivated by my peers, teachers and family members. Whenever, I found myself struggling to write a paper or complete an assignment, these…
There was one more day left after tomorrow. We laughed together and we jumped to ride to ride unto the sun was setting. Together, we trotted on the dirt trails to the colorful concession stands to get some junky snicks like tacos, cotton candy, popcorn, and more. All around use was laughter and screaming from the roller coasters, which was next to the mini games. Anyway, it is about time I am finally having…
There are five conflict resolution styles to managing conflict. The five styles are Avoiding, Competing, Accommodating, Compromising, and Collaborating. Avoiding is the strategy that involves ignoring the issue and differences involved in the hopes that they will go away on their own. There is no engagement with the other party, and thus no expression of a struggle, despite the perception of difference. An example was in high school other kids will pick on me and call be different names, but…

match but Kingsman: The Golden Circle is still a fun enjoyable movie. Escapism is the key and Kingsman excels at being the Bond movie that Bond movies can’t be anymore…crude, violent, funny, and self-aware. Kingsman: The Golden Circle is a solid popcorn to end a painful Summer Blockbuster…
My favorite truth that I wrote in “find the fib” was probably that this school year I played in 3 school sports, and that in every sport I played I went to state in all 3. This season of sports was very good for me and that's why I think this is my favorite truth. This season I played basketball, track, and cross country. Cross country was my first school sport and I was the number 1 or number 2 runner on the team. I did good throughout the season, I was doing good, but during the first meet I…
to me intellectually, emotionally, and otherwise. In my high school years, I worked at my local medical center, rotating among different departments including emergency, physical therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and radiology. Just as I sold popcorn for Boy Scouts and had to learn to deal with the public, within the office I also had to be diplomatic. I related with many different types of people, often at very vulnerable moments in their lives and did so with sensitivity and compassion. I…
society. For example, the Echo promotes laziness. For instance, anyone can ask Alexa to read any book or newspaper article with ease. “All the user has to do is say, Alexa, read [title],” and the device will start reading. So anyone can grab a bag of popcorn and listen to their favorite novels.(4) The Amazon Echo is also a harm to the economy. There is no point of buying physical copies of books or newspapers anymore because you can just get Alexa to read it to you without even moving a finger.…
