Alien Ethnographer; Cape Echols

 Three years ago I became an ethnographer for a race of aliens. When humans became aware of alien existence a few years ago after a UFO crash they were wary. Some people even wanted to resort to violence. I didn’t want that so I volunteered to go study their culture and lifestyle. I have learned a lot since coming. I know the aliens have a spoken language, but human vocal cords are different from theirs so I am unable to speak it. I am able to decipher some of their language, however. They live on Mars where weather conditions can be extreme so their bodies have adapted to be tougher than humans. Their bodies also are covered in a layer of a sticky substance to which the men attach rocks as a part of a coming of age ceremony. I also know that they require no food or water to survive. Instead, they sustain themselves on the gasses in Mars’ atmosphere. They live in a socialist society and rarely show violent tendencies. They are also welcoming of newcomers and have treated me well. Through the years I have reported all my findings back to earth which has helped humans grow more comfortable with the idea of aliens.

One of these topics is about things such as rural places in the world that use the labor of inmates to produce value in their economy. An example of this is rural places in new jersey where the inequalities of the inmates challenge the work that they must do to make a living. This article also has an example of when people studied ethnography in Japan. In Japan there are Buddhists that sell pet robots such as robot dogs, to people to re-define the boundaries between  life, death, amusement, and play. I have been wondering if society would accept robot dogs or cats as replacements for real ones. I think that this would offer the trade between personality and functionality. In Bolivia Juliane muller offers the thought of large corporate companies attempting to bestow a ne...

What Did Medieval Peasants Know?

  Jayla Balderas  Mr. Roddy  IHSS  16 May 2022                                                   What Did Medieval Peasants Know? A comment often thrown around is how much easier life was in medieval times. What sparked this specific article was a tweet made by a woman named Azie Dungey she said, “We give a lot more labor to increase someone else’s wealth than in times past. We generally work much longer hours. We have far fewer holidays and times of community festivity,” (Dungey).  This sparked a controversy, and brought up the question, what were things really like during the medieval times? It was stated everyone has a different variety of what they believed this era looked like in their head because it's ...
