The internet is an important method of connecting people all over the world. Not only can people communicate over the internet, people can use it as a way to buy, sell, and trade pieces of their culture. Ebay and other trading and bidding sites make it easy to find artifacts from around the world. However, this also makes it easier for people to sell artifacts illegally, or sell fake ones. The list of Egyptian Antiquities on Ebay is pages and pages long, with many artifacts that could be fake, illegally taken from their place of origin, or stolen. Ebay has tried to maintain a legal standard for the artifacts it sells, but things can slip under the radar, and the amount of fakes makes it more difficult to determine if something was looted or not. The issue of cultural racketeering is a global issue, and one website cannot combat the entire problem by itself, though it does help. I found many artifacts that seemed genuine listed on the website, and picked a few that One of the artifacts I found was listed as an Authentic Romano-Egyptian Crocodile in 23K Gold Lot 9D. It is made of gold foil formed into the shape of a crocodile. It has many details including scales, teeth, and eyes. The mouth is a bit crushed but overall it looks to be in good condition. The seller does not provide information as to where the object originated from, only the estimated year origin of 1st century BCE to 1st century CE, and the collection it came from. It seems the artifact is genuine, as the…

Papa Roach and Mama Roach They must have come through the walls, just like ghosts, or like characters from a different dimension. I needed an explanation and met a scientist. I was in tears when I told him my story. Then he looked up as if searching for the right answer on the ceiling, and said, “well, you know roaches can survive a nuclear explosion?” Really? A nation that does nothing when cockroaches invade every crack on the wall and the floor, and every drawer in its houses, is…

As I was reading a story on Plato, The Allegory of the Cave is Plato’s way of talking about the human soul. The Allegory points to people who are so focused into their surroundings that these people often become trapped as one within, without really knowing their true ability to keen with their senses. As Plato said, “he contends that people must “go back into the cave”” or return to reality. Plato uses “The Cave” as a metaphor because he is using that for an everyday event as if you were…

For as long as I can remember, there is a specific question that I have asked myself: Why am I here and where am I headed? The fact that I am unable to answer this question completely drains my energies. While I am sure that a number of individuals struggle with this question, I have found that I do not even understand the question itself, much less its answer. For the longest time, I remember being so lost that I no longer recognized the person in the mirror. Looking back on my high school…
