my fingers graze over their ears, so soft and fluffy like rabbit tails. Their love is like that of a baby so pure and innocent. As the day ended we were left with an aroma of peacefulness, as night took over, I lay myself down for bed with Lola and Boa, all I could see was little glow bugs in the dark gleaming at me as their cries echoed through the night air. In the background I could hear thump, thump, and thump, as their tails sway up and down on the bed.
Americans believe that after ‘N Sync, boy bands were dead and then brought back by One Direction. Although One Direction is a British group, American has accepted them as the return of boy bands. That can be proven wrong by looking over at South Korea. While ‘N Sync lasted seven years a Korean boy band, Shinhwa, has been together for sixteen years and is still ongoing, meaning that One Direction was not the return of boy bands, but have just been added to the list.

John Swales (“Create a Research Space” (CARS) Model Research Introductions) and Ken Hyland also talk about writing and the similarities between all academic
With Korean lyrics delivered by a cartoonish rapper named Psy riding an invisible horse, “Gangnam Style” was an unlikely candidate to become a worldwide phenomenon. On the contrast, however, the popular song has been an obvious epidemic embedded in the modern music culture of our nation as well as other nations. In the summer of 2012, the full music video of “Gangnam Style” was uploaded onto YouTube and was immediately a sensation, receiving over 500,000 hits on its first day and racking up millions

other. The principle of Cultural Relativism was established as axiomatic in anthropological research by Franz Boas in the first few decades of the twentieth century. Boas first articulated the idea in 1887; “Civilization is not something absolute, but relative and our ideas and conceptions are true only if the civilization continues.” This term became popular among anthropologists after Boas’ death in 1942. He believed that the sweep of culture is so vast and pervasive that there cannot be a relationship

the “father of American Anthropology” Franz Boas. It was also born out of rejecting the previous social ideas of scientific racism as well as parallel evolution. Boas was originally trained in the physical sciences and shifted toward anthropology when he began to study Inuit migration patterns (McGee & Warms 2012: 112). He became an advocate of fieldwork, encouraging his students to collect detailed, in-depth studies of the culture being studied. Boas trained a number of great anthropologists that
its own unique history. It would be quite impossible to understand, on the basis of a single evolutionary scheme, what happened to any particular people.” Unlike Tylor, Boas emphasized the importance of ethnographic work, learning the language, and broad survey and research which became the requirement for anthropology. Moreover, Boas is known as one of the first people to reject the idea of Unilineal Cultural Evolution. He believed how both, primitive and civilized theories of culture are wrong, pointing
transformations it has gone through since the time of Franz Boas, as described in an article “A Magic Place”. Reading the article beforehand helped make me aware of the changes that were made to the exhibit since the time of Franz Boas, while I was exploring the Northwest Coast Hall. The article, “A Magic Place” provides a very descriptive analysis of the changes made to the Hall by Boas and why he made certain alterations. The Hall before Boas was distinctly different, in part due to its arrangement
Alfred Louis Kroeber was born in New Jersey in 1876 and later grew up in New York City where he attended a New York prep school. Kroeber was not only well-educated as a child, but he was also multilingual.

An Author's Last Message Antoine de Saint Exupery died in 1944. His death was and still is, to a certain extent, a mystery. Some say that enemy forces shot down the plane he was flying while he was on a reconnaissance mission. Others speculate that he was simply too old and out of shape to handle the newer, more advanced military aircraft. “His voluntary return to action at an age when he was too old to fly fighter planes and too fat to squeeze into the cockpit without difficulty marked his
ethnographic fieldwork. Anthropologists like Franz Boas discovered that studying foreign cultures could only be done successfully by immersion and that this research technique was actually very enlightening to the dynamics of human behavior. This is the basis for anthropological empiricism, an essential piece of modern anthropology. In the film Franz Boas: The Shackles
she graduated, and was sent to DePauw University at Greencastle Indiana in 1919, where her intention was to major in English.
