Week 8 gender

As I watched the football game over the weekend most of the commercials where aimed at boys or both men and women because mostly men are watching the games. There are a lot of beer commercials with a attractive women drinking it half naked or eating a sandwich from jimmy johns to attract men . Other commercials like soda and phone commercials are gender neutral and don’t even show a person in the commercials sometimes

Week 13

My name is Dr osofero and I am from benue Nigeria. I grew up in Nigeria and was one of the few kids that always got to go to school. When I graduated from high school I came to America to go to college and got my dr degree in biology. Before my degree I always had jobs because how expensive I.T is in America for a long time before becoming a teacher I worked as a correctional officer in the jails. I now live in lanham md right across from duval high school. I’m just that small area I come across all kinds of races that I didn’t back in Nigeria. I like America the best because of the opportunity that anyone can have if you work hard for I.T.

power

1. Other than maybe teachers who have power because they decide my grades and my mom because when I'm home I live with her no one else really has power in my everyday relationships. 

2. I can see where age and gender come into play with power because you tend to do what people older than you say and gender because if your and women you might listen to a older women more than a man and the same for a man. 

3. With people that have power over you like parents you might negotiate things like your curfew or allowance or things you are allowed to do. People that have power like police you might need to talk your way out of a ticket. 

4. Some power comes from tradition like everyone is taught even in their religions to obey there parents and the people like the police, police is put in power by our government and so is other agencies. So is the president who we put in power. I don't see these dynamics really changing other than us changing our whole form of government 

5. Doing things like driving on public roads that our taxes pay for or us being around police and firefighters and going to public schools that the state pay for 

6. The state basically provides everything we need in every way they basically gives us what we need to get along as a people.

This article is about Isis and that there religion has given some kind of power because they are doing violent acts and holding hostages. Isis also demands all Muslims to pledge allegiance to Isis and there leader who was formally part of al quada. Isis seeks to eradicate obstacles to restoring gods rule on earth and to defend the Muslim community.

Sexuality

I think our culture is very oversexualized because of how many different ways we use sex or sexual appeal to get people to do things. People hire women on men depending on how attractive they are a lot of times. A restaurant might hire all women to work at the bar and wait on tables just to have more men come and spend their money. Things like strip clubs are huge money makers and are used as places to talk and conduct business. When a company is trying to sell something like a drink or bath tub or any really they show a girl drinking it half naked or sitting in a tub. And I think our culture being so oversexualized is the real reason that so many people are so uncomfortable with themselves women are always worried if they look good enough and kids are dressing like grown women.

Consumer culture

Homo erectus is an extinct species of hominin that lived throughout most of the Pleistocene geological epoch. Its earliest fossil evidence dates to 1.9 million years ago and extends to 143,000 years ago. Compared with modern Homo sapiens, which have only been around for the last 200,000 years, Homo erectus, or "upright man," had a long reign. In particular, H. erectus had a similar range of body sizes to modern humans, and it is the first human ancestor to have similar limb and torso proportions to those seen in modern humans. A lot of them suspect that we are but its is still unanswered if Homo Erectus are ancestors of Homo sapiens.

Can of coke fieldwork

Joseph Gayetty is widely credited with being the inventor of modern commercially available toilet paper in the United States. Gayetty's paper, first introduced in 1857, was available as late as the 1920s. Toilet paper is generally made from new or "virgin" paper, using a combination of softwood and hardwood trees. Now although I knew that paper was made from trees I never realized that toilet paper was to in my mind I was thinking about paper bags and book paper. Study's show that Americans on average use about 7 billion rolls of toilet paper a year and trees only make about 1000 rolls per tree so we are cutting down about 7 million trees just to wipe ourselves which is terrible for the environment. Even though a lot of people don't use it they do have something called recycled toilet paper which is better for the environment but usually don't use it because it's not as strong or white as regular toilet tissue and not because it was used as toilet tissue already just because of the process.

Montanna Cooke Anthropology  101 October 1, 2017 The Human Family Tree In this film, Spencer Well’s does a study in New York to find out where humans of different races descend from. To conduct the study the people would rub the inside of their mouths with cotton swabs and their DNA would get taken to the lab for testing. In this process Well’s was already informed about the debate on whether or not majority of humans originated or evolved from Africa. With this study he was determined to go all the back 6,000 generations to see where they come from. Within this film there was a ton of facts that were being dispersed about different cultures and ethnicity. The number one fact would have to be that after the study a lot of the results showed that their ancestors evolved from Africa but, they left in many different waves of settlement that would result in substitution of other early species. The information within the film challenges the racial classification in so many ways. So many people would agree to disagree that they are another race then what research says. Most people wouldn’t be interest in trying to figure out the truth, some people contradict the data that was found.  When having to write or bubbling in our race on every document we encounter its obviously been conflicted. The confliction comes from all the different options there is to choose from when we all originate from Africa which would make everyone Black, and/or African American descent. Along with also being told your one race and that not being true makes you wonder where all the customs, norms, and morals you grew up with came from. As a person what you are told as a child usually sticks with you and race is one of those things someone could never forget or just change. The video challenged my racial classification particularly because I never understood how important someones classification is to them. I usually call u black if you look black and asian is u look asian. I also didn't realize that other races particularly the older people in those races have problems with there kids being with other races they don't condone marriage outside of their own race. This video really changed how I viewed classification because I thought that certain races discriminated against others because they might not know the truth and that why there are still hate groups and things but its just to simple. All people come from Africa and the only real difference is ancestors migrated to other parts of the world and thats why we look different.

Anthropology field work

Today in my classes I watched females interactions with males and realized that girls use a lot of body, face, and hand gestures to get there point across to females as well as males. Most males use hand gestures a lot less than girls do and typically talk a lot less than girls do. Girls dominate the conversation with there body language and volume. I also noticed that anytime someone is asked where they got something from the first thing they do is point to show direction. Professors do things like point towards or underline words on the boards with there fingers or point to people in class letting them know they have the floor to speak. People wave to say high and bye and shake hands and give hugs to greet people.
