We often wonder why we act a certain way in certain places and there must be a reason why? Why is that we act a certain way when we go to concerts or when we go to the library? Through a showcase of articles, we will discover the reason why we act a particular way. This is because we are entering a liminal space that has its own set of rules and boundaries where people can act out differently than the social norms because it is acceptable. We will specifically be looking at how the punks and ravers
I visited the Museum of the American Indian in D.C. Saturday the 7th. I had not visited the museum or any part of the Smithsonian since seventh grade, so I was looking forward to taking in American history now that I was older and more interested, and especially connecting what I had learned from my history courses to what I saw at the Smithsonian.

Since we humans are and always have been very curious creatures, at all times we always needed explanations and answers about the universe.

It is not uncommon for people of one culture to misunderstand people of another. Patricia Riley’s “Adventures of an Indian Princess” introduces this concept and its underlying causes. As she illustrates a day in the life of Arletta, a twelve year old adopted Cherokee Indian, Riley reveals the misinformed and disinterested nature of the Rapier family. These individuals accept the stereotypical portrayal of Indians in America and do not wish to delve deeper into Indian culture, to much of Arletta’s
