For the research project, I decided to look at tattoos in different cultures, and what the different methods that different countries (North America and Asia) used, and how methods had varied among their different subsistences. Throughout this research project, I learned many things. For one, the way the Yuki, Chuckchee, and Iban all tattooed was pretty similar. Their reasons for tattooing differed a little, and I was surprised to learn the meanings behind the tattoos. Cultural Practice Yuki…

late I have decided to go back to school, to make a difference and impact lives; to take the challenge of living and not just existing. I am 60 years old, and it’s a “now or never” kind of a thing, but as they say “It’s never too late,” to get an associate degree in psychology and write a book. A song, a quote and a few selected women come to mind as I venture into this path of attending Colorado Christian University. The song “It’s the Climb” by Millie Cyrus sings: “It ain’t about how fast I…

As this chapter illustrates, Finny enjoys getting himself into tight (and sometimes dangerous) situations, and he relies on his natural charm and often illogical view of the world to extricate himself. While military service overtakes the older students, only the 16-year-old boys remain careless and happy in this peaceful world. For the masters of Devon — and Gene, too — Finny comes to represent the "essence of this careless peace." While Finny likes to defy authority, play games, and jump out…

Ferdinand Tonnies is the sociologist who constructed two basic categories of social relationships. He did so through comparing premodern and modern social worlds. The first category of relationships is “Gemeinschaft”. “Tonnies called these emotion-based relationships.” (Page 16) Gemeinschaft relationships are formed from a close emotional bond between one another. Family, significant others, childhood friends, siblings, and your best friend are all examples of Gemeinschaft. That’s the rule for…

“…I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but some day someone will…and to all the little girls..you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world…” This powerful statement from Hillary Clinton’s concession speech on November 8, 2016 depicts the need that our culture still has for gender equality. Throughout history there has been a battle between the sexes, mainly men attempting to take power away from women. Stories or…

For over the past decade, I have been learning and living through the works of Landmark Education (now Landmark Worldwide). The programs have evolved from seminars designed by Werner Erhard. During that same approximate time, Erhard was working with Jensen, Zaffron, and Granger the creating an ontological, phenomenological leadership course to be taught throughout the world. Not only were they successful in doing so, they found through teaching the course, people left the course actually being…

Chris Ware works wonders when it comes to his graphic novel “Unmasked.” He tells this story about how one woman does not accept the fact that her husband may be cheating on her. This graphic novel seems difficult to comprehend at first, but with different literary elements and devices, Ware makes comprehension possible. Ware uses his unique color scheme, panel transitions, the use of the five senses, and the attitude of the characters to tell how a woman is made aware of her father and her…

Tim O’Brien’s novel The Things They Carried is a story with seemingly no plot, however, upon closer look you will realize that this novel is filled with many reoccurring themes and patterns that give the novel a much deeper meaning. The last 3 chapters have a way of tying the book together with the beginning and give meaning to the questions he poses about what a true war story is. The three main patterns present throughout this novel are the concepts of war and life as a soldier being…
