ART

1.      A) Most of the carving or in other words painting, tell their adventures, of hunting, and fight, there most great times. This was mainly for their children to hear, and then their children’s, children, but what they didn’t know is that, we would find them and carries out there stories and great adventures.

B) Because the most times they had was hunting, and even rituals they did, in some cultures. These are their way of keeping track of things they did, not everyone had paper like we have know.

C) Well we know they don’t have paper, and that they were very out going, like to hunt animal. Writing down there great moments. Exceptionally they had a lot of adventures. It was amazing, how they told their stores through a wall with paint they are very creative.

D) They use things in different was which made it amazing for example: One painting was painted by spraying pigment to draw and the pigment was isolated and joined together, that was the one used the most and some were carved etc.

E) There was carving, using a brush, and they even used horns from a bull. By using the horn of the bulls it created doting that was applies with a swap. The carving the outline of the picture which was the start of the picture, and which leaves the brush, which gave it that special look of color

2.      Now and these days we use vary types of things to create art such as: pencils, pens, pastels, paint, and carvings. Back then they were very limited on what they could use. They used what they could find, unlike us we go and buy it, someone created it, and it wasn’t from natural things, like nature. The number one thing is the carvings, back then people carved wood, rock, and now they still do the same thing, carving stone, wood, this has been going on for many generations.

3.      A) These requires pencil, pen, marks, and/or crayons, which ever set your mood that moment, like for me I think using a pencil. This communicates emotions, dreams, just in the mood for being creative.

B) It doesn’t matter what time you are in their will always my painting that is telling you something. The painting on ancient walls, tell us there stories, the carvings from the Egyptian, tell, us there rules, and how they live, or now what I see is when we draw its what we right there think about, we don’t stop and think about what we write, we just know. Every drawing has his or her own language written in the paint or even right there saying hello.

C) When you draw something it make that culture proud, give a sense off, about there own culture. There are some drawings that are telling harmful things, but its how that person is reading it. For example: Egyptians written and drawn about executions, some people felt that was hurtful, and it was harming.

Politics & Violence

1. The Yanomamo is a deeper for punishment then the western cultures. Yanomamo, if you kill that will result in death as long as you are a non-unokais, then you could be punished death. If you just take a crime there are little punishments that, would not be death as the problem solver. The western is just more easy, would it comes to punishment, if you kill or do something that, was mad enough then you would be hung, and if it was just something simple it would be a night or a couple days in jail.

2. Revenge killing to some people makes them feel good about a problem that had happened, and the grieving of someone dying in the family, or if people know what you do to women, and look down at you and treat you different, this can cause someone you going crazy. Not crazy as in killing the whole culture, but just that feeling of revenge. If someone kills someone you love like a family member a close one like parents, sibling, or your child, the pain for it to go away for that individual would be revenge, but by going and killing that person, its going to feel the same with that person family. Now some people learn to just deal, and anger is only there, and some poeple has to get even.

3. The benefit of being a unokais is that you will not be called a murder, in fact you will be called, “warrior hero.” To become a unokais you have to kill people, but for your own protection, there is a ceremony held in the morning, to make sure that the people that you kill, there spirit doesn’t come after you, this is actually for your own protection. OK, so the unokais you always have to kill if you want to stay a unokais, if you are a non- unokais and you kill someone you are called a murderer. If you don’t want to keep killing then you are a non-unokais, and will be punished for the murder of someone. If you are a unokais and there is a revenge that you want to successed, you will not be in trouble, but a hero, instead of non-unokais with you would be punished.

4. The law and/or who ever is in charge, has to make sure that no one gets out of line. The only problem with this is that the one who makes the rules and laws, don’t see everything going on. These structures could cause a lot of problems. If everyone was just organized and had a great status of a social life, this could keep the heat down. The only thing is the unokais still kills, and it cause be a little problem to some people, but was something they believed in and its legal. The Yanomamo if very kin with their family, and very protective if anything were to happen. Even if they have multiple wife’s they would still take care of each only, and also there young ones. This way there is so much revenge, because if a loved one had been died revenge would be the first thought on their mind. The Yanomamo can have multiple wives if they wish, but some men only want one. The great thing about this culture is they all have a perfect amount of children, which is good there population is in good stands.

5. Well, “anti-social,” is a great word to use, when something dramatic happens like a death in the family, some people don’t know how to had the depression, they start ignoring people they just want to be alone but they only problem with that is, this usually results in a bad end, ether they will commit suicide or get revenger, but this how they handle it. By having laws even though some people do it anyways, this still gives some people relief, them feeling safe in away. By having the law if someone does kill, or do a small crime, the other people know that, that one person will hopefully learn its lesson, or get the punishment what they deserve. This is just showing everyone that these aren’t a game and they will do something about it.

Kinship and Analysis

(1)

The interviewee I had chosen is my Uncle Mario, he was born in Oaxaca in Mexico, in August 13^th 1957. Uncle Mario was born in another country it was a hard life for my uncle, exceptionally when he came to the United States. Thing were always hard for him even in the town he was raised in, which is Oaxaca in Mexico, because having to kill his own animal to eat and grow is own crops, and also work for not as much money as you would get in the United States, made thing harder. It was also hard because he gave money to his mom. When he knew what would better him and his family he came to the United States, got two jobs and they were full time, had a little studio, but even money he got he would sent most of it to is family in Mexico. The biggest accomplishment he made was learning English, he knew his Spanish very well, but English was difficult and he accomplished it. One thing that even amazed me is that when getting house is such a big difference from here, because in Mexico all you have to do his by your property and build your house you never have rent. Water comes by and they fill up your water tank and when you run out, you just call and fill it up again. My uncle Mario told me,” No matter what I have been through, this always make me feel good about being a Mexican.”

This made me feel proud, of what hard workers they’re are, and not only that but how dedicated they are to there families. Most of the time thoughts just kept going, proud, brave, hard working, and please tell me more because of how interesting this all sounds. No, not uncomfortable, but very comfortable because this is my families history things I never knew, and what my ancestors did for the family, and by being such a great family it makes me happy with where I come from inside. No, it didn’t it just made me respect my family more and to never judge them in any way, of how they were so long ago. If I wasn’t Mexican this would most likely make me feel weird, in such a case like, "oh my gosh, you had to kill an animal just to eat ewww," but I would think it and not say it only because of the different culture and not being use to the other culture.

(3)

We are such a big family we ALL stay in touch whether we are in the United States or in Mexico. My parents call Mexico all the time and except the charges just for the family. My parents even fly out there to see them twice a year. I know that my parent send money to my dads mother. Everyone gets along because we are lovers not haters. Emphasis is on the paternal line the most, only because there are more younger adults like myself, then older people, now I’m not saying I don’t talk to them just not as much as the paternal line. The older people we will say like me I am 23 years old, I look after them and try to keep them out of harms way, and they are fun to wrestle with. The older or younger never call each other names or blame anyone for anything, it’s just not like us and we all have been raised like that. NP never have we had ethnic difference toward each other after all we are all Mexican and we know how are people feel, we great along really good.

(4)

Yes, I know them both well, because I do go to Mexico at least once every two years, I know not a lot but its something. I don’t socialize equally with them other because I see more of my dads side of the family, so I socialize with them more, but when I see my mothers side of the family I still socialize, with what time I can. My mother would, not my dad, but yup my mom, only because its her word or no words kind of thing and me and my brothers just learn to live with it, or there would just be a problem. Yes, because my aunts seem to have the issue, like they don’t want know one new in the family. See after sometime they finally will warm up to that new member of the family, it just takes some time. Yes, because women should be treated sensitively in situations, like get wasted, if another guy comes around them, in other words they are protected A LOT.I have learned what my family had to do to survive in there time or what country they went to, not just that but how we stuck together as a family and didn’t rip each other apart when time got tough. I feel really happy with what family I have and what I have around me.

Hunter-gatherer and Agriculture/ Economic and Trade

Part 1:

            Even through hunter-gatherers has been around for millions years, they have been very successful in all these years, with being so good with hunting. They drove most pray species to extinction. Not only great hunting skills, but also they survived through dramatic climate change, for example: The Ice Age. Agriculture became very helpful, by giving people a chance, to settle in one area. This was great because now the people could give up the nomadic life.  That’s not all though, it gave of a train reaction, of learning hands on labor on how to grow crops, build homes, and a new lifestyle. With this new lifestyle the cultures population grew larger. A hunter-gather seemed tough with all there hunting experience, but they hunted more than they grew crops, and by putting most animal species extinct, it became harder to find food, which results into moving place to place. The Agriculture in away is good but also has their downfalls. When agriculture finally settled down in one location, to be able to grow crops, they needed more room. By moving, or taking down the forest

Tress, bushes etc., this has caused erosions. The agriculture would have the best diet, because not only did they have meats such as (small mammals, deer, box turtle, elk etc.) but also had crops such as (corn, beans, and squash). The hunter-gatherer had mostly meat, not much of crops. Well about 12,000 years ago when agriculture took place was because the climate changed dramatically. When settling in a more livable environment and the population starting growing, that’s when agriculture was used more because people liked that environment, and they wanted to stay within that area. After the population was so big, moving around many people would become more of a problem.

Part 2:

            This consists of exporting and importing goods. Surplus and trade are a team organization, if surplus is positive then there exporting more than importing, but if they were trading then this would be negative, which is usually called “trade gap.” The goal in this organization is to have goods and services balance, by making sure they were divided. Two social benefits of trade would be (1) communication, and (2) Technology, just with these two so much has the trading organization grown and accomplished. Asia’s growing demand with the U.S., because major trading drivers were using communication, and computers (technology) goods, to me, to be brought productions up for the better, not just Asia but the U.S. also. Two negative social benefits would be: (1) cheaper labor, and (2) lower standards. Negative impacts of trade can encourage production in areas with cheap labor and or lower standards. For example: child labor and sweatshops in China and India. The agriculture has developed in so many ways like the replacement of human labor, from when hunting and growing crops, unlike now meat is killed for us and soled to us in stores and the same goes for crops. The development of trade has changed so dramatically since 12,000 years ago exceptionally exporting and importing their goods. Their goods had to be transported by animal and people walking to their distance.
