    As a forensic anthropologist working on the “fox hollow murders” and examining the heavily fragmented and commingled remains that were found burned, different strategies and forensic methods were employed in recovering and identifying the victims. Some of the remains retrieved showed significant burns making it harder for forensic anthropologist to distinguish between the remains. Nonetheless, forensic anthropologists noted that there were two distinct types of states in which the remains were burned, a green state, and a dry state. The bones that were burned in a green states were easily recognized by the pronounced attachment of flesh to the bones and the fresh appearance of the remains, whereas the dry state didn’t have any flesh attached and was just bones (Ubelaker, 2008). Forensic anthropologist could also differentiate between the two types of burning states through the external changes that occurred to the bones as they were burned. In the green (fleshed) state, the bones displayed transverse fractures, had pronounced irregular longitudinal splitting along the bones, and considerable warping-which is bending and twisting of the bones to make it appear as though the bone was made of rubber and deformed intentionally (Ubelaker, 2008). However, remains burned in a dry state displayed none of these characteristics and produced less variation in fracture patterns and warping (Ubelaker, 2008).…

    According to the textbook, assimilation is the process by which a society experiencing acculturation changes so much that it is hardly distinguishable from a more dominant society (Carpo, 2103). This means that a smaller society basically takes on the traits of a bigger one to the point that it is hard to tell the two apart. This film was unlike anything I was prepared to watch in this class. I was surprised to learn that these children were being involuntarily taken from their homes for the selfish reasons and most times the parents did not know where they went. From my understanding, the children were being taken from their homes so that they could be molded to behave and think a certain way, while learning mediocre trade skills so that they could work jobs and be more civilized. Native American children that were raised in their homes were taught to think for themselves, but make formidable decisions that were best for the progression of the group (Givens, 2011). While at these boarding schools, they were taught to think and behave like a certain group. The children were being taught that they were also inferior. These children were beaten, sometimes fatally. I think the long term affect was negative. To instill in someone since childhood that they are inferior is to set them up to be an adult with lots of problems such as self-esteem issues and depression. In the video it was mentioned that suicide rates were high. Not only would the moral of the population decrease, but the cultural uniqueness would dissipate as well. If you are not allowing someone to express their culture it can become forgotten. Assimilating others into another culture is not justified. Not in the way it was done in this video. Who gives any society the right to think that they are better than anyone else? Different traits and skills are needed for different situations. For instance, in American we have systems set…

    Archaeology: is one of the five subfields of Anthropology. Archaeologists dig and search for remains of past cultures such as bones, pottery, and tools. The Archaeologists are trying to learn how people lived before us and why they did. An Archaeologist might study “The battle of Chippawa” something from right in the Niagara Region. They would excavate find weapons, uniforms, and bones. They would be able to learn a lot from what they dug up to see how they did things during their time.…

    Anthropology is a very broad field of study that, to perform accurate study, has necessitated breaking the field into four subfields. "Anthropology is the holistic study human-kind; it searches for interrelationships among all the parts of its subject" (Park 2015, p.15). Humans, as a species, are very complex and therefore the four subfields of anthropology are utilized to further our understanding by focusing on certain aspects of the interrelated study of mankind. To understand a society, every aspect of that society needs to be examined; where they came from, how that society interacted with their environment and each other and how they communicated with each other as well. Therefore, the four four subfields of anthropology are utilized.…

    Energy captured, production, population, and exchange are all evident in various cultures and societies throughout time. Because these factors affect all humans and societies equally, they must all equally be accounted for within that particular culture/society’s methods of sustainability. The first example I will use to illustrate this point will be Britain’s empire during the 16th-18th centuries. Britain at the time had its scope of influence include over 1/5th of the world’s entire population. This expansive effort to colonize or commercialize by sea led to Britain’s global dominance during the era. By establishing colonies and trade routes throughout the world, Britain was able to use human labor in various colonies to grow cash crops and food to serve Britain’s empire (economy). This was especially important considering Britain’s geography and land made for a poor agrarian society. Using wind and human labor, the British were able to build ships and a powerful navy to traverse the 7 oceans for profit, production, and exchange.…

    Both of these problems imply that developing countries should have greater protections against international markets than developed ones and greater barriers to trade. Despite such problems, IMF policy in response to crises, which is supposed to be guided by neoliberal ideas such as the Washington Consensus, is to increase liberalization of the economy and decrease barriers, allowing bigger capital flight and the chance for foreign firms to shore up their monopolies. Additionally, the IMF acts to increase moral hazard, since international involvement will usually result in an international…
