    Ethnography Works Cited Missing Reflexivity has recently been designated as an indicator of postmodernism in anthropological texts. In this context, the practice is attacked as self-indulgent narcissism, but its true scope reaches much further. While some ethnographic texts exhibit an overemphasis on the author, and his position within the work, this is one extreme of the range reflexivity, which also serves as a methodological tool, unincorporated into the writing, and as a means to account

    relations between logic and law, which are a special subject-matter, are only a part of a larger whole. There is no hard and fast line separating the place of these relationships from the whole of culture.

Sugar maples, red oaks, sumac, birch and other trees and shrubs turn from green to bright red, orange, and yellow. The short, cool days of autumn bring an end to the production of chlorophyll (the green light-gathering pigment). As chlorophyll gradually breaks down, the colors of the more stable carotenoid (yellow/orange)

    be to measure the species in question at certain times. However, this would be inconvenient, especially for a three hour laboratory period. Since the iodide ion can be oxidized by the persulphate ion, we can use sodium thiosulphate to be an indicator of the presence of iodine in the solution. For this experiment, we can simply calculate the rate of the reaction by timing the amount of iodine being produced in several runs. The reaction between iodine and sodium persulphate can be depicted

  • Social Stratification

    Social Stratification A person's class status can be harder to identify than race or ethnic differences. However, I believe class status is an important indicator of what kind of opportunities lie ahead for people in various class systems, although, I don't necessarily agree with the current class structure.

    reach better reaction rates, since the reaction occurs slowly at room temperature. Unlike many other titrations no indicator is necessary to tell the experimenter when the endpoint of the reaction is. In this case, the experimenter knows when all the oxalate has been consumed because the excess of permanganate will show up as a pink color. Thus, the permanganate ion acts as an indicator itself. The reaction produces its own catalyst in the form of Mn2+ that promotes oxidation. The sulfuric acid added
