    In this short chapter, Charles Monet is placed on a gurney and wheeled into the intensive-care unit. Dr. Shem Musoke, a young, well-liked doctor is unsure of what is happening, but he recognizes that Monet cannot breathe. When Dr. Musoke attempts to insert a breathing tube, he realizes the patient has developed severe brain damage. During the insertion, the patient vomits blood upward and it gets into the doctor's eyes and mouth. Because Monet's blood will not clot, attempts to give him a transfusion only cause him to bleed more; and he dies that evening. The autopsy shows that his recently living body resembles a several-days' dead corpse on the…

    Émile Durkheim (1858 – 1917) was also a sociologist, social psychologist and philosopher like Mead, except, unlike Mead, he was French. His three major works include “The Division of Labor” (1893), “Suicide” (1897), and “The Elementary Forms of Religious Life” (1912) and he believed that they all explained a social phenomena. Durkheim’s theories were based on things that were external in nature as opposed to those that were internal in nature. The division of labor occurred when social organization shifted from being traditional (Mechanical Solidarity) to modern (Organic Solidarity). In the olden days, people were self-sufficient, feeding themselves and their families, bounded by similarities in religions, values, societal norms, occupations, backgrounds,… However, in the modern…

    When his two nearest companions pulled away his clothes and looked at his neck, they had said him a solemn farewell in expectation of his death. We 'll meet again in a better world, they said. He was classed among the dying and put aside on a cot to do so. But he failed at it. After two days, space being short, they sent him on to a regular hospital in his own state. All through the mess of the field hospital and the long grim train ride south in a boxcar filled with wounded, he had agreed with his friends and the doctors. He thought he would die. About all he could remember of the trip was the heat and the odors of blood and of shit, for many of the wounded had the flux. (Frazier, 4)…

    Specifically, Boas, in The Methods of Ethnology, argued against the various traditional evolutionary theories proposed by Morgan, Marx, Tylor and Spencer. Stating simply that these theories had a particular resilience, but lacked any sort of empirical evidence, Boas argued that the evolutionary theory was based on the counterfactual assumption that our culture was the most advanced and all others were merely following us (Boas, 134). After attacking the diffusionists by noting that their data was not competent enough, methodological difficulties, he responded to the view that historical particularism (Historical particularism argued that each society is a collective representation of its unique historical past. It showed that societies could reach the same level of cultural development through different paths) was atheoretical. How things are and how they come to exist can give only broad outlines of chronological events. Hence cultures are dynamic and in constant flux; every phenomenon is not only an effect, but also a cause. (Boas, 137) A point, taken to the extreme by Kroeber, but also put forth by Boas was that certain problems may be solved in only particular ways. Because humans are similar in their ``infrastructure'', they would tend to solve these problems in similar ways, leading towards the creation of similar traits. Hence, it is not about cultural achievement, but rather about particular conditions that exist at the moment when the new effect is obtained…

    As Joseph Ellis describes in his novel Founding Brothers, slavery was the most divisive problem in America. The states were divided not by their difference of size or but whether or not they had slaves. Instead of coming together and considering a compromise the North and the South each began to form the own arguments on the slave issue and began one of the biggest debates in the United States history. The beginning of years of debates came on February 11,1790 when two quaker delegates presented a petition to the House asking for the federal government to to put an end to the African slave trade.…

    The Lakota Way

    • 4 Pages

    The Lakota Way by Joseph M. Marshall III is a reflective and thoughtful depiction of how the Lakota people and their spiritual beliefs can be used as a guiding principle in leading a fulfilling and significant life. Marshall uses stories he has attained throughout his lifetime, mostly from his grandfather, to emphasize the importance of twelve main facets of life. These twelve facets are: humility, perseverance, respect, honor, love, sacrifice, truth, compassion, bravery, fortitude, generosity, and wisdom. Throughout each chapter pertaining to these traits, Marshall uses his stories to apply them to everyday life and to gain a sense of respect for his elders. In his introduction, Marshall states, “The stories I heard and learned provide lessons that I can apply in the present; but they also connect me to the past—to a way of life that has endured far longer than I can imagine—and to the people who walked the land and left old trails to follow” (Marshall xii). This testimony by Marshall really portrays the amount of respect he has for the Lakota people and how much he cherishes their spiritual beliefs and values.…

    His desire to reconnect with his people is apparent early on in the story, and may be perpetuated by his situation. "My people have lived within the hundred mile radius of Spokane, Washington for at least 10,000 years" (8). Yet he is homeless. He feels invisible, like so many other homeless Indians in Seattle. “Piece by piece I disappeared, and I 've been disappearing ever since" (9). This passage could symbolize not only his own feelings of disconnect from his family and culture, but the Indian people’s plight in general. They struggle to remain rooted in their culture while being forced to leave their ancestral lands and sacred places behind. The above passages establish the importance that he places on his family and his heritage. He takes pride in the fact that he is a “Spokane Indian…
