Margaret Mead was a great scientist, explorer, writer, and teacher, who educated the human race in many different ways. In the next few paragraphs I will discuss the different ways Margaret Mead, Anthropologist, effected our society. Margaret Mead was born in Philadelphia on December 16, 1901, and was educated at Barnard College and at Columbia University. In 1926 she became assistant curator of ethnology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, and she served as associate curator and as curator. She was director of research in contemporary cultures at Columbia University from 1948 to 1950 and professor of anthropology there after 1954. Participating in several field expeditions, Mead conducted notable research in New Guinea, Samoa, and Bali. Much of her work was devoted to a study of patterns of child rearing in various cultures. She also analyzed many problems in contemporary American society, particularly those affecting young people. Her interests were varied, including childcare, adolescence, sexual behavior, and American character and culture. Margaret Mead taught generations of Americans about looking carefully and openly at other cultures to understand the complexities of being human. Margaret Mead brought the serious work of anthropology to public consciousness. Mead studied at Barnard College, where she met the great anthropologist Franz Boas. Franz Boas became her mentor and her advisor when she attended graduate school at Columbia University. Mead's work is largely responsible for the treasures on view in the Museum's Hall of Pacific Peoples. In addition to her work at the Museum, Margaret Mead taught, and wrote more best selling books. She contributed a regular column to Redbook magazine. She was also lectured, and was frequently interviewed on radio and television.
On September 14, 1879, Margaret Sanger was born in Corning, New York. She was the sixth child of eleven children and realized early what being part of a large family meant; just making due. Although her family was Roman Catholic both her mother and father were of Irish descent. Her mother, Anne Purcell had a sense of beauty that was expressed through and with flowers. Her father was an Irish born stonemason whose real religion was social radicalism. Her father was a free thinker and strong believer in eugenics which meant Margaret possessed some of the same values. (Sanger, Margaret) Eugenics is the belief that one race is better than a different race just because they are not like them, kind of like Hitler and the holocaust. “He expected me to be grown up at the age of ten.” (Source 4.3 page 30) Coming from a family of eleven children she did have to grow up fast. Faster than most kids should have to. She left her house as a teenager and came back when she needed to study nursing. It was during this time that Margaret worked as a maternity nurse helping in the delivery of babies to immigrant women. She saw illegal abortions, women being overwhelmed by poverty, to many children, and women dying because they had no knowledge of how to prevent one pregnancy after another. This reminded her of the fact that her own mother had eighteen pregnancies, eleven children, and died at the age of forty-nine. Margaret dropped out of school and moved in with her sister. She ended up teaching first grade children and absolutely hated it. She hated children at that time. When Margaret was a child herself however, she would dream about living on the hill where all the wealthy people lived. She would dream of playing tennis and wearing beautiful c...

Ernest Hemingway pulled from his past present experiences to develop his own thoughts concerning death, relationships, and lies. He then mixed these ideas, along with a familiar setting, to create a masterpiece. One such masterpiece written early in Hemingway's career is the short story, "Indian Camp." "Indian Camp" was originally published in the collection of "in Our Time" in 1925. A brief summary reveals that the main character, a teenager by the name of Nick, travels across a lake to an Indian village. While at the village Nick observes his father, who is a doctor, deliver a baby to an Indian by caesarian section. As the story continues, Nick's father discovers that the newborn's father has committed suicide. Soon afterward Nick and his father engage in a discussion about death, which brings the story to an end. With thought and perception a reader can tell the meaning of the story. The charters of Nick and his father resemble the relationship of Hemingway and his father. Hemingway grew up in Oak Park, a middle class suburb, under the watchful eye of his parents, Ed and Grace Hemingway. Ed Hemingway was a doctor who "occasionally took his son along on professional visits across Walloon Lake to the Ojibway Indians" during summer vacations (Waldhorn 7). These medical trips taken by Ernest and Ed would provide the background information needed to introduce nick and his father while on their medical trip in "Indian Camp." These trips were not the center point of affection between Ed and Ernest, but they were part of the whole. The two always shared a close father-son bond that Hemingway often portrayed in his works: Nick's close attachment to his father parallels Hemingway's relationship with Ed. The growing boy finds in the father, in both fiction and life, not only a teacher-guide but also a fixed refuge against the terrors of the emotional and spiritual unknown as they are encountered. In his father Ernest had someone to lean on (Shaw 14). In "Indian Camp," nick stays in his father's arms for a sense of security and this reinforces their close father-son relationship. When Nick sees the terror of death, in the form of suicide, his father is right there to comfort him. From this we are able to see how Nick has his father to, physically and mentally, "lean" on, much like Hemingway did (S...
...ion that allowed Edna to express herself individualism and sexuality gave her an opportunity to awake from a life that was forced upon her by society – because she was born a woman. Chopin uses art throughout The Awakening as a way for Edna to explore self-discovery. At the end of the novel, as Edna swims out farther and farther out to sea in Grand Isle, she thinks back to her “mother-women” life and realizes that while she does miss some of it, that she would rather feel free. "…Leonce and the children. They were a part of her life. But they need not have thought that they could possess her, body and soul" (Chopin 114). Stuck in a moral battle between her social responsibilities and her passion, Edna realizes that no matter how well she does artistically, society wont accept her new ‘awakened’ state and eventually gives up fighting releasing her soul to the sea.
The poem was written in one stanza but is divided between three different grading marks from the husband, son and the daughter. In lines 1-4, the husband gives her an A for the supper she prepared for the family, an incomplete for her ironing of the clothes and a B plus in the bedroom. As a married woman, we are expected to cook, clean, and please our spouse in the bedroom. In 1978 when this poem was written, the traditional married home was that the man’s wants and needs came first because he was the provider. I was once a full-time housewife before I decided on
The death of the dog means nothing but an outburst of anger by his father and everyone looks past it except Christopher. When he originally finds out what happened, he went to tell everyone. Of course, everyone was in disbelief and that there was a dreadful misunderstanding. After such, his father pressured Chris into repairing their relationship that had been torn. He does so to explain how much Chris is hurting him. Christopher’s violent outbreaks left deep scares on the people he was living with, so to repair what went wrong, his father was trying to do so. Stephania disagrees with Elizabeth, as she believes that “Christopher seizes the opportunity to draw inspiration from the violent death and write his own mystery story”(Ciocia). The death of the dog is the main conflict of the story and it opens up the door for the resolution that will come. Christopher’s self-awareness eventually extends to his own storytelling process, a task undertaken in response to the invitation of one of his teachers, who suggests that he should try and write something that he would enjoy reading. A fan of Conan Doyle, Christopher seizes the opportunity to draw inspiration from the violent death of his neighbor’s dog and settles down to pen his own ‘‘murder mystery novel’’, combining a

After finding out about his father’s secrets, Christopher Boone was stuck in a state of confusion. Finding out his mother was alive after thinking for so long that she had died and finally learning that his very own father killed the lovable neighbor’s dog Wellington is a shocking event. Once over his state of shock, Christopher was able to decide to go on a life-changing trip to find his mom and break away from the regularities in his life. An example of Christopher breaking away is when he goes past his school and the corner store. This represents a threshold that he had never past before and was very unfamiliar with. Besides, Christopher says, “But I was frightened in two different ways. And one way was being frightened of being far away from a place I was used to, and the other was being frightened of being near
...e interest of ending the monotony she lives with as a result of her being confined into her aristocratic society. Throughout the novel, The Awakening by Kate Chopin, Edna seeks independence from society. Her series of awakenings are mostly about achieving this goal. The sea, Robert Lebrun, and Mademoiselle Reisz are her awakenings. In the end, Edna's freedom takes place in death. This is the choice that social convention allows her. Edna cannot have anything she desires in this world, and therefore removed herself from it in a final “awakening” of her soul. Her thoughts as she walks into the sea comment profoundly on the identity problems that women face: "She thought of Leonce and the children. They were a part of her life. But they need not have thought that they could possess her, body and soul" (Chopin 152).
Many cultures view children differently and give them various positions within the family. In the Native American community, they view children as sacred. To ensure this concept, many individuals are involved in cultivating a Native American child. In the early Native American’s childhood, there are important rites and rituals that vary depending on the tribe. The views on children, rituals, and community involved in raising children all rely on a central theme of relationships. Throughout the course of early and middle childhood, relationships are important to the upbringing of Native American children.
Because he never backs down from anything he starts, Christopher’s pursuit to solve Wellington’s murder remains his primary focus, although Christopher experiences problems throughout the book that affect his resolve. His father affects Christopher negatively from his lies; as a result, the dishonesties turn out to be the central focus in the story. His father made him leave the house to go find Christopher’s mother who he did not know existed. His mom tried to hug Christopher when he got there and he blatantly describes how he hates being touched by his own family members. Christopher’s mom goes in for a hug but he shoves her away so hard that he falls over. Christopher states, “And I pushed her away because she was grabbing me and I didn’t like it, and I pushed really hard and I fell over” (Haddon 191). Christopher feels awful about the incident with his mother and ends up getting along exceedingly sound. Family disputes led to most of the problems in the novel, however, the issues made the book more interesting. Every time Christopher’s dad would mess up with him, his father would come running back to Christopher apologizing for what he did or the way he acted. Christopher’s father was good at taking care of him most of the time but then again was not an straightforward family member all the time. Christopher did not consider his
