Language and Diversity
In this topic we can read about the principal, thing about language. But also the difference between other languages. For example it says a lot of things like the difference of proclaim the word dog, in Spanish is “perro” and you need to make more effort when you proclaim the two “rr” like if you were trying to be like a cat when it approach to you rrrrrrr…. 
Especially this topic says the differences in grammar and explains how works this among other languages. It asks some times about compareting other languages with English and it says that the differences will be noticed at the beginning because of course the proclaim is different and the words won’t relate to words of Germany for example. Maybe there will be a couple of words similar but always different. 
Then it says something that was interesting about the Universal of Language in one part says to us “Are there any restrictions on the ways in which they can differ from one another?” and then it explains that other languages use differences in orders of elements that have other meanings and, with this makes me the conclusion of every language has its own grammar their own words etc. Maybe there will be something similar among some language because for example the Spanish comes from the Latin like also the Italian that’s why they have some similar words. 
This for me makes me get more interested about this topic because it made to feel like more related with it like in the way of the difference of languages. I have been studding, english since almost all my life and with this I can know that it’s real, the differences in grammar the way to pronounced the words like for example the “r” I needed to say, like if I was saying “ar” in spanish I feel good reading this topic.

Cultural Anthropology

Gabriel Han Sep 16 IHSS Cultural Anthropology Blog I read an article about the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a study around them conducted by MIT. The Dead Sea Scrolls are a series of ancient Hebrew texts that were discovered in 1947. The study was focused on one scroll known as the Temple scroll, out of the 900 or so scrolls. The scrolls were hidden in jars on hillsides north of the Dead Sea, often under debris. The reason the Temple scroll was chosen was because it is the largest and most well preserved of the scrolls, despite the fact that the material is incredibly thin, at only 1/250 of an inch thick. The study was to investigate how the parchment was made, and what it was made of. Results showed it was processed in a strange way, and made of odd ingredients like evaporates that differed from the normal ones. This raises questions such as how did they make it, or come up with the idea for it? Scientists believe that understanding this parchment could provide insights into the cultur...

Further Investigation of Immigration

Andreas Cantu Mr. Roddy IHSS 12 April 2020 Chinese Immigration  Between the years 1845 and 1855 the US saw a massive influx of chinese immigrants. This was due to the gold rush in California. Chinese immigrants would leave the friends and family in search of a better life with more opportunities in America, and gold rush gave them their best shot at making it big in America. Although they had hopes to join the gold mining most of them took jobs with coal mining companies for little to no commision. This was huge problem for the immigrants, because it made life in America very difficult. As time went on they had begun opening up small business wherever they could, this helped them integrate their culture into the American culture and help them feel more at home. The American Robber Barons saw Chinese immigrants as noting but cheap labor. In 1863 The transcontinental railroad began its six year long construction, stretching from Sacramento California to Omaha, as more Chinese...

Thoughts on Engagement

After doing the research for my challenge project on kill and no kill animal shelters, I have decided that I want to find a way to educate people on the internet without stating any form of opinion in order to be informative without being offensive. What I want to do is make a website that will have information both good and bad on kill and no kill animal shelters in an effort to educate the public on the matter. many people will for blind opinions on specifically kill shelters as they don't do the research and end up attacking people without any information on the matter. This is something that people need to know about because it is important that people who are thinking about adopting an animal know what they are getting in to before they do so impulsively. I will also include information on why sterilizing animals is so important to the issue of strays and why people should consider sterilizing their household pets as well as it only puts their animal in danger and makes them w...
