Anthropology Letter Evaluation
The first letter was more of a concern for the Yanomami tribe and other indigenous communities. The writer of the letter has provided the letter's recipients with enough information about his/her concern without degrading the credibility of the AAA. With much concern, he/she is requesting an immediate action on the problem without losing respect to the people concerned. This letter is more of a request letter.
The second letter similarly demonstrates a concern for the Yanomami and indigenous people. The writer first explained how the lives and culture of these people were disturbed due to the society's intervention in an aim to study their ways of life as a representation of our ancestors. With fairness in himself/herself, the writer somehow imposes that since the society benefitted from the Yanomami and indigenous people through the chance of studying and exploring their culture, we should also have the responsibility of helping them in return. The second letter can be described as somehow demanding but reasonable.
The third letter is very polite. The writer immediately stated his concern and explained information and suggestions to solve the problem. During the explaination of suggestions, the writer did not miss giving respect to the concerned AAA organization. Although the writer explained his honest opinion, he still showed respect to the people concerned and his reasons sound fair enough for the Yanomami and other indigenous people.
The fourth letter indicated some direct criticisms to the AAA organization. The writer explained facts based from his study and in turn explained his comments and criticisms which are also based from factual information that he had researhed on. As compared to the first three letters where the writer showed deep concern for the Yanomami and other indigenous people, the writer in this letter showed concern on the credibility of the AAA organization. This is apparent in his suggestions that can prevent Yanomami from failures and from having criticisms from others.
The fifth letter sounds suggestive and yet reprimanding. In the first paragraph of the letter, the writer explained the purpose of the AAA. This is perhaps to generally indicate to the reader of the letter, or to the AAA, the purpose that the AAA should remember. The following statements all indicated criticisms and suggestions to the AAA on how they can better perform in their services.
And even when they were not, and returned to Europe sniffing and huffing in letters and treatises about the evils of Native, pagan ways, they wielded some of their harshest critical words against Europeans who had 'gone native.' (4) These critiques are an example of how Calloway as a historian finds some portrait of how Native ways were before and after European settlers, how the settler's influence changed Native
I do not even know where most of my ancestors are buried. I do not even know where most of them lived, or what land they considered to be at the heart of their lives. I do not know how most of them conceived of the soul or of what happened when they buried their dead. And yet I would be troubled by knowing that researchers could dig up
. Even when the child in a home where DV occurs is not physically harmed, most of the time, these children know about the violence. As a result, they may experience emotional and behavior problems (The Domestic Violence…, N.d.). A victim of DV needs to be reminded: She is not alone. She is not at fault. Help is available. In The physician's guide to domestic violence, P.R. Salber and E. Taliaferro (N.d.). about stress
" (Halpin and Burt, 1998) DuBois states: "The history of the American Negro is the history of this strife -- this longing to attain self-conscious manhood, to merge his double self into a better and truer self. In this merging he wishes neither of the older selves to be lost. He would not Africanize America, for America has too much to teach the world and Africa. He would not bleach
Health Behavior The "Theories At A Glance" manual discussed a variety of healthy behaviors. Select two theories that can be used to explain why people behave the way they do.

94). The modern legal definition of disease provides a useful starting point for an examination of the concept of disease and how it is regarded by various disciplines. According to Black's Law Dictionary (1990), disease is a "deviation from the healthy or normal condition of any of the functions or tissues of the body. An alternation in the state of the body or some of its organs, interrupting or disturbing
