Wes Pomeroy was the head of security at Woodstock. He originally said no to helping out with the event, but after Stanley Goldstein, director of operations, told him the reason for the event and the goal they were trying to reach, Pomeroy agreed to help out because he believed in what they were trying to accomplish (Makower, 1989, p. 60). Pomeroy was a highway patrolman, World War II veteran, and a chief deputy in California for years. He agreed to help with Woodstock without using violence of any kind because they wanted this to be a peaceful event (Makower, 1989, p.61) Throughout the event, Pomeroy tells about all the drug use, how dirty everything was, sexual freedoms and how happy everyone was.

Phillis Wheatley and Robert Smalls may not be a notable name in today’s history, but their stories are remarkable none the less. While Robert Smalls became famous for his bravery and actions, Phillis Wheatley became famous through her written words. Against all odds, these two African-American’s went and did what was called the impossible for people of their race in their times of history. Phillis Wheatley was brought to Boston, Massachusetts on the ship, The Phillis, in 1761 when she was just seven or eight years old. Phillis was small, frail, nearly naked, and could not speak a word of English when she arrived in America.
All of the tribes are important in their own ways, but for this paper, I will be focusing on these two tribes. “In their own language, the word Potawatomi means "Keepers of the Sacred Fire," but they call themselves "Neshnabek," which means "the True People" (Potawatomi History, 2017). The Forest County Potawatomi tribe is presently
Potlatch is a traditional ceremony that validates identity and culture. Tlingit’s believe that all life has equal value and should be equally respected (Waterbury, 1987). The Pacific Northwest tribes were thought to be unstable and evil for giving away their possessions and between 1885 and 1951 potlatches in Canada were outlawed (BC, n.d.). The potlatch tradition, still present, allows time for respect, paying debts, and displaying one’s wealth and status. This tradition is most celebrated today for events such as adoptions, burials, marriage, the naming of a child, or the building and/or buying of a house (Waterbury, 1987).
Phillis Wheatley was born on the West coast of Africa. She was kidnapped at the age of seven, she made the voyage to America alone. Phillis Wheatley arrived in Boston in 1761 at the age of eight. She was named after the boat that bought her here. As a child, Phillis had the gift to write poetry.
Fire destroys things down into ache, but after that is a process of rebuilding and starting of new things. This was happening to the neighborhood of Wicker Park in 1871 , when the fire destroyed old wooden mansions of rich German and Scandinavian residents. The new era had occurred, when the immigrant labors rebuilt the neighborhood with brick and stone to prevent such a tragedy again. Since then, that area has filled with beautiful architecture and packed with history. This area was recognize by the city of Chicago to be one of the historical area, and people call it the “Wicker Park Historic District.”
“Either I mistake your shape and making quite, Or else you are that shrewd and knavish sprite Call'd Robin Goodfellow: are not you he. . . ?” - Fairy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream In the mid 6th century B.C.E. (Before Cerulean Empire), the 5th Archmage, Vendri the Green, created the modern dungeon. Using what would now be considered questionable experimental methods involving gemstones and the trapped souls of animals or magical beasts, he set out to create A.I. or Arcane Intelligence, a type of magic following specific rules with the capability to grow as it consumed mana and energy from the external world with the goal that the object would eventually gain sentience.
Laurel high School is an academic establishment that has it’s fair share of rules concerning academic integrity. However, the honor codes on certain practice, particularly cheating, are not thoroughly enforced. I propose that my school should revise its policies on cheating to ensure that students are earning the grades they deserve and not achieving through academic dishonesty. As aforementioned, Laurel already has an honor code for cheating. The general policy is that as a consequence, the students involved should be punished and their grades put in jeopardy.
However, from the perspective of cultural relativism, we can see some aspects of the Potlatch come into our traditions, such as delayed reciprocity and gift economy. For example, when we invite someone to our birthday party, we expect them to invite us to their birthday party. This would also involve the exchanging of birthday presents of roughly equal
The vast cultural differences between my mother, a Canadian born and raised woman, and my father, a South African born and raised man, always became particularly prevalent around Christmas. This magical time of year holds many of the fondest childhood memories I have of my parents merging their respective cultures, traditions, and values. Every December, my mother would sing carols while decorating the Christmas tree; my father would dance, in his cultural fashion, to beat of her merry tune. Playful bickering about whether Christmas was better spent in the beauty of the snow or underneath the hot sun would arise as the two of them strung lights outside. When it was time to cook Christmas Eve dinner, my mother would insist on typical Canadian
The anthropologist Raymond Firth, an expert on indigenous New Zealand culture, however, questioned the originality of the analysis and disputed Mauss’s interpretation of Maori customs and concepts. After the author’s death and the book’s publication in English in 1954, The Gift was criticized by a generation of anthropologists who were wary of the search for general laws, the progressive logic of evolutionism, and the method of comparative analysis. They argued that Mauss overemphasized similarities in institutions across cultures and ignored or downplayed differences, possibly as a result of his lack of fieldwork experience. More, they criticized Mauss for disapproving of the English anthropologist J. G. Frazer for presuming the universality of totemism (the practice of infusing a neutral object with sacredness as the symbol for a group of people) without evidence, while extending terms such as potlatch and mana (a spiritual force potentially attached to objects) to the institutions of societies where parallel, local concepts were lacking. Potlatch was a ceremonial feast practiced by Native American populations in Northwest North America that includes gifts to the guests; it was a means for the competitive display of wealth and prestige that even included the destruction of objects.
