care and issues in humanity - Vol36 no.2 gloria morales

 In 2021, there have been many issues that have come up and have affected humanity. The article that I read demonstrated how caring was used to solve issues in different cultures and locations around the world. My favorite example that they gave was Radhika  Govindrajan's point about India's state-sanctioned cow- protection policies. The cow- protection policies were made due to religious beliefs in India. For it to become a policy to protect cows in India, there had to have been a large number of people who cared for this cause. Cared for the lives of the cows and their safety. To me, it's incredible how emotion can turn into a policy for a whole country. In my opinion, care is a very underrated form of solving issues. Usually, when we think of solving problems we think of arguments, battles, or war but in some cases, care can become an option for fixing these problems. But first, we need to learn to respect each other and work together. One problem I hope we can resolve is the families that are separated at the border. As part of the Latino community, this means a lot to me. Children are suffering, families are suffering due to the selfishness of this country. There have been so many protests about this topic, so many people have raised awareness online, there have been so many foundations to help the families stuck at the border, and yet, this country doesn't seem to see how big of a problem this is. We care about this. I care about this. So many people care, we just need someone to listen. Then maybe we can solve it. We as humans depend on each other to solve problems. There is no way one person can solve a problem as big as this. But I believe if we just learn to understand and respect each other as humans no matter the religion, sex, culture, or color of skin, we could accomplish so much more in this world.

Cultural Anthropology blog

   Nate Savarese Mr. Roddy IHSS 31 August 2021 Cultural Anthropology Blog      I read cultural anthropology blog Vol. 36 No. 2 (2021). T his blog covers many different topics. 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 ...
