Precontact Culture
Precontact culture was heavily influenced by the natural terrain as the Ojibwa adapted their lifestyle to survive in a heavily forested land traversed by a network of lakes and rivers. The Ojibwa lived a semi nomadic life, moving a number of times each year in order to be close to food sources. Except for the Plains Ojibwa, who rode horses, they traveled on land by foot and wore snowshoes during the winter, transporting goods on dog sleds. The portability of Ojibwa lodging—the wigwam— enabled such moves to be made quickly and easily.(Roy,2000)

    Chequamegon Bay Ojibwe History

    European contact and adoption of their technology by the Chequamegon Bay Ojibwe tribes revolutionized the methods and time required to perform their numerous daily tasks, especially Ojibwe women, but also eventually opened them up to exploitation by the US government. The Chequamegon Bay Ojibwe history can be divided into four major time periods: pre-European contact, early European contact and trade, the period of official, regulated fur trade, and the time period as the fur trade declined and other resources on Ojibwe lands were targeted. The introduction of European iron tools decreased the time and effort required for almost every chore and did not need to be replaced as frequently. However, since the fur trade ebbed and flowed, so too…

    Dbq: Cultural Interaction

    Cultural interaction is the basis for the world today. Without cultural interaction, the Americas would still be filled with Native Americans. The whole world would be isolated from other cultures. For example, America would not have certain foods and animals, such as bananas and cows; likewise, Europe would not have corn or turkeys. Between the years 600 and 1450 C.E, Cultural interaction was very beneficial due to the expanding of trade, spreading of religion and cultures, and strengthening nations. However, in many cases, cultural interaction was a destructive force, killing thousands, taking what people owned, and spreading diseases to other areas.…

    Professional counselors have the obligation to ensure quality and effective counseling toward clients. All the while, counselors are committed to the ethical guidelines that are established to avoid legal, professional malpractice and competent issues. Some of those guidelines consider dual relationships and professional boundaries. Counselors are not to engage in dual relationships with clients, supervisors, and coworkers, and also should be cautioned to prevent situations that may cause ethical boundary violations. However, after a client has completed treatment and has been terminated for some time, some of those rules tend to change. Therefore, counselors should be able to think logically while having criteria to make ethical decisions.…

    A Culture is the language, values, beliefs, traditions, and customs people share and learn according to Larry Samovar and his colleagues (2007). Culture includes two different groups called in-groups which are groups that you identify yourself with and out-groups which is a group of people we view as different (Frings & Abram, 2010; Quist & Jorgensen, 2010). Examples of culture is the foods we eat, holidays we celebrate, the type of music we listen to, or even how we address someone. A co-culture is groups of people banded through beliefs, values, behaviors, and a culture inside a larger culture (Ober & Spellers, 2005). Being a member of a co-culture can be a source of pride and yet you are more likely to feel disadvantaged if you are part of a minority co-culture with would cause you to feel unfulfilled. Examples of co-cultures are age, race, religion, nationality, activities, and also economic status.…

    What Are The Benefits Of Living In Native American Culture

    Despite the European’s view that they were savages, Native American lives were steeped in culture. They had an abundance of technological advances and ways to make their lives easier. From their day to day lives, they lived off the land as hunters, fishers, and farmers. This, in turn, led to constant moving from place to place to find better land and soil for their agricultural needs. Land as they saw it was a common resource for all, not a privilege for some. Native Americans were not devoted to accumulation of wealth and material goods; rather, they preferred to have a small amount of things to make their constant moving much easier. These diverse groups of people lived on land that was connected through intricate and extensive trade networks and roads. Many resided in great cities, and all had developed methods of…

    Hook Up Culture Analysis

    Lisa Wade, a professor at Occidental College in Los Angles, California gave a talk about the hook-up culture on college campuses. She started the talk with college being a big, four-year orgy. I never thought about college being a big orgy, until I thought about my experience at my first college, Saint Lawrence University. The period I attended St. Lawrence University, I was so naïve to the hook-up culture, especially in my own sexual community, the gay community. Once I explored and engaged in the hook-up culture in the very small gay community, I understood Lisa Wade’s comment. She gave good statistics about the percentage of college students’ reactions to the hook-up culture. She said 15 % to 25 % loves it while the 85 % to 75% hates it.…

    We as a society are surrounded by life, as we know it each day. Never stopping to look around and absorb what is going on around us. Our surroundings pass us by and we never take a glimpse at what those surroundings may hold. Our society presses forward without looking over their shoulder to see where we have been.
