If I were on a desert island, what two items would I bring with me?

To give a non-serious answer, I would bring my phone and a portable charger in hopes that I'll be rescued soon. As for my serious answer, I would try to bring enough food and water for myself so I don't starve to death or become dehydrated. Then I'd try to find stuff that I can use to create an SOS sign, so I have the possibility of being rescued soon. In my opinion, I don't think I'd survive, regardless of the two items I bring...

The Nacirima and their Body Rituals

 After reading through an article created by Horace Miner, I couldn't help feeling interest, confusion, and shock. The 5 words that I would use to describe the population Miner discusses in his article would be Environmental, Religious, Poor/Rich, Primitive, and Value.  Miner talks about his professor bringing up the topic of the Nacirema since they've been poorly misunderstood for their culture, and mentions how there is little known information about their origin story. Miner also includes how the Nacirema have rituals relating to their body, health, and appearance, along with how their culture went from a "highly developed market" to evolving into a "rich natural habitat". This is why I thought about Primitive as the Nacirema started off from one thing to expanded to another. In a way, I would also include Environmental as well because of their economic pursuits and how Miner briefly describes the way they live. When I think of the word, environmental, I ...

The History of the Ifugao People and their Rice Terraces

The Ifugao People Week 2 Environment I’ve chosen to research the Ifugao people, a group living in the mountains of northern Luzon, Philippines, in the Cordillera region, with elevations ranging from 2,600 ft to 4,900 ft. Their location is within a tropical rainforest, and the community chose this area due to its traditional rice fields. Recently, researchers have seen threatening environmental changes that cause challenges like “slash-and-burn”, deforestation, and most of all, climate change.  Climate Adaptions Their climate is known to be a tropical rainforest with two types of seasons: a dry period from November to May, and a wet period from June to October. The hottest/driest periods are predicted between March to May, reaching about 28.3°C on average, while the rainfalls are predicted between June to August, reaching about 25.5°C on average. While they have two types of seasons, the Ifugao people also go through 4 types of climate changes depending on the rainfall weather. One ...

Week 7: Art as a Culture

I believe the cave artists were trying to create a story with their paintings, or they were trying to portray the things they saw outside of the caves. Perhaps they created those paintings to preserve a memory as well, but I feel like, for any reason anyone could think of, the reasons for these paintings could be a mixture of various purposes. Throughout the cave interaction, we saw more cows and horses and, I believe, only one human with a bird. The reason there may be more animals than people could be due to the reasoning that there weren't many people around them, and that those animals were more commonly seen because it was their source for survival. In a way, these paintings could show the lives of the cave dwellers/Paleolithic people. Like I mentioned, the paintings could represent memories that they wanted to capture or remember because it was a part of their history. For example, the last painting we see with the human could show the death of that person from an animal, or ...
