Anthropology Personal Statement
I have never worked as a paid tutor, however, in classes such as Anthropology other students come to me for help and clarification.

I have attended Community College for the last 2 years and at the moment I am transferring to Eastern Michigan University, with a 3.7 GPA , pursuing an international affairs degree. Outside of the classroom, I am an amateur writer who writes short stories none of which have been published yet. I also enjoy researching various topics; from social justice to religion and folklore. I have a slight bias towards mythology and culture.

I would make an excellent anthropology tutor because I have a drive and interest for the subject. I have passed cultural and physical anthropology classes with flying colors and have

    Anthropology

    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).…

    Anthropology 101 Week 1 Discussion Ashford

    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…

    As a tutor I will need to recognise basis skills needs, perhaps through initial pre-course assessment and discuss with the learner a discreet and sensitive referral route to gain appropriate support.

    Anthropology Chapter 8

    In our society we do have practices that can be considered leveling mechanisms. These are fundamental in the everyday functions of a culture. Without leveling mechanisms, cultures can develop large gaps between the citizens. You would see the upper class citizens holding all of the power positions within the society and there most likely would be no middle class. In turn, the ones with power, the upper class, would make all of the decisions.…

So when I discovered anthropology I was excited knowing that ,for a living, I could study people. Not only do I love anthropology but I am interested in all anthropological studies like biological anthropology, primatology, medical anthropology, and physical anthropology. For years my interest in anthropology has given me incentive to do well in school.…

I greatly value these connections and relationships, which have helped further my learning experience in college.…

    Christian Service Reflection Paper

    Through the course of five weeks I have tutored a third grader by the name of Willy one hour each Thursday. Willy is a high-spirited kid who loves to learn. He goes to a school named Corpus Christi, a school I spent my sixth through eighth grade years at, and is also the organization I volunteered for. I chose this particular work because I love working with kids considering I have 4 younger brothers and sisters. This also gave me an opportunity to put my knowledge to good use and to be a good role-model towards Willy. What I gained from this experience is satisfaction from helping a young student cope with his academic struggles and learn to surpass them in order to be successful. I most definitely would do this project again if I had the chance.…

    Everything started by volunteering in an elementary school, I thought it was just a normal job but no, it has become a passion to me. Seeing how people do their best to identify students’ academic strengths and weaknesses at early age. Since then, being like those people has been a goal to accomplish. And thanks to some books such as “American Educational Research Journal” and “elementary teachers from African American teens discuss their elementary teachers.” That have taught people the importance and value of being a professional tutor is exiting to read other people experiences and point of view. It makes you realize that is not an easy career but is going to be worth it. Is also a job that would make you learn different ways to teach, how…
