What is the meaning of life?

What exactly is anthropology?

Anthropology is the study of various cultures all around the world. To begin, we study all human socities and cultures, in order to determine our future and development. There are four subdivisions of anthropology, like visual, cultural, biological, and archeological. As an anthropologist, I explore human connections, rituals, gender inequalities, globalization, war, genocide, climate change, colonialism, what the meaning of culture is and how important it is that we all learn from the past so that we can change and improve our future.

When I attended high school, I felt like my education was limited. I was only learning about European history, and it was only when I got to college did things change, and I learned about things I should have known since the eighth grade or younger. I feel like every student, but especially POC students should have a vast amount of knowledge about cultures all over the world, and not just European. It was a lot of information I took in during my four years in college, but I don’t regret learning about why humans are the way they are, and why our society is the way it is. When people talk about anthropologists, they usually bring up popular movies like Indiana Jones, AND I’ll admit that’s where I learned about it before school. But movies that involve main characters who are historians, or archeologists who study humans through their material remains, must also be stereotyped as ‘treasure hunters’, ‘adventurers’, or ‘cool detectives’ who uncover what they’re finding without any help or colleagues to support them, who are almost always straight, of European background, male, and are almost always inaccurate.

The truly comical thing about is this? Since it is stereotyped that it’s a once in a lifetime job it is seen as ‘frivolous’, and not an actual lifechanging career that focuses on all contemporary human culture, like language, economic systems, social systems, art, and ideology. Social science focuses on the study of humanity, and they should be the forefront for everyone to study and learn from. And though I realize that we’re living in the technological age, those who study archaeology use technology, and explicitly use scientific method. When I was young, I was fascinated with history, with culture, and I wanted to change the world. I still believe in that sentiment, but I also understand that nothing will change if we don’t closely study the systems and cultures that benefit to an unjust, and unchanging society.

Happy Easter everybody!

Everyone needs to know that over turning abortion is rooted in racism. No they don't want black and brown women to suffer (anymore than usual). They want more white women to be forced to carry to full term so that they (white people) don't loose the numerical majority and become a minority in America.

But please know, black and brown women will be affected by this. Black and brown women have some of the highest cases of maternal death during child birth. Experiencing complications more frequently which is a direct side effect of the racist health care system. White Republicans don't care about that the real goal is for them to increase the population of white people through any means necessary.

Please look up The Birth Dearth by Ben J. Wattenberg. (Spoiler alert its eugenics. It's all eugenics.)

Here is our girl Jane Elliot talking about it.

Here is an entry article to read about as well

Democracy

NO. 1

The short definition of democracy is the practice of social equality, and a quick Google search says it is a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. Basically, the people are allowed/have the authority to have the to choose and decide legislation, or to choose governing officials. And yet, democracy is not included in the Declaration of Independence, nor the U.S Constitution.

NO. 2

The term ‘democracy’ originated from Athens, Greece, and it appeared in the 5th century BC, meaning the ‘rule of the people.’ The word “democracy” comes from two Greek words that mean people (demos) and rule (kratos). Democracy contrasts with the forms of government where power is either held by an individual, as in autocratic systems like a monarchy or where power is held by a small number of individuals, as in an oligarchy—oppositions inherited from ancient Greek philosophy. Western democracy reflects towards all citizens that they are ‘‘equal before the law, and having equal access to legislative processes. For example, in a representative democracy, every vote has equal weight, no unreasonable restrictions can apply to anyone seeking to become a representative, and the freedom of its eligible citizens is secured by legitimized rights and liberties which are typically protected by a constitution. Other uses of "democracy" include that of direct democracy in which issues are directly voted on by the constituents.’’

NO. 3

The U.S Constitution! A symbol of power, patriotism, nationalism, and freedom which conveys meaning honorable and justified peace for all people, granting its citizens hope, and what everyone wants is freedom. From the beginning, the founders of America emphasized this fact. ‘‘The history of the American democracy is usually presented as a political story tout court. Nineteenth-century scholars pointed to the Declaration of Independence as the fundamental document. Now that the Founding Fathers are seen as actively checking ‘the excess of democracy in the 1780s when they ratified the U.S Constitution’s creation of an energetic federal government, democracy is variously depicted as arriving in the U.S with the election of Thomas Jefferson or Andrew Jefferson.’’ And yet, this very word ‘democracy’ is not in the Constitution nor the Declaration of Independence. Why? Because America is not a democracy, it is officially known as a ‘‘representative democracy, in which citizens vote for representatives who create and change laws that govern the people rather than getting to vote directly on the laws themselves.’’

NO. 4

But to the minorities of this country, especially black and Indigenous people, the word democracy is not imparted upon them, nor those steady patriotic beliefs in the country to impose freedom for all. Because power was usurped from the ‘Indigenous People’, everyone who was white, Anglo-Saxon, and male was the only ‘people’ to vote, have a business, and be a part of the government, not to mention be respected as a human being. ‘‘The Constitution does not set forth requirements for the right to vote. As a result, at the outset of the Union, only male property-owners could vote. African Americans were not considered citizens, and women were excluded from the electoral process. Native Americans were not given the right to vote until 1924. When it was ratified in 1787, the Constitution enshrined the institution of slavery through the so-called "Three-Fifths Compromise," which called for those "bound to service for a term of years" and ‘all other Persons" (meaning slaves) to be counted for representation purposes as three-fifths of free people.’’

Granted, the Constitution has changed and was re-edited to allow everyone common and basic freedoms in this century. But as we go into 2022, does the current culture really embody that? Or is democracy still, and always has been, a white man's game?
