.... used when people decide to spend the extra to buy a sports car or a luxury item. Unfortunately this also has its limitations, because certain people don’t have the money to buy whatever they want. For example a person making $30,000 cannot buy a million-dollar house just because that is not realistic. Their income does not allow this type of purchase. People put some of these limitations on themselves by not making the amount necessary to buy what they want. In reality everyone cannot always get way they want it. Physical is the most often used in the world today. This .....

.... in turn reflected through the way that societies were depicted and influenced. The Trobriand Islanders are a society in Papaua New Giuenia. They are composed of about, twelve thousand people in sixty villages. The Trobrianders have been penetrated by outside influences for centuries and have remained considerably unaffected, two primary displays of this is the economical structure and politics of kinship.

.... take on and defeat Spain in the Spanish-American war. From a nation of small towns and cities and small farms, America became an industrial colossus, with ship-building, rails, steel mills and factories, with a rate of growth that began to attract laborers from around the world. This industrial miracle created huge fortunes, and the relatively equal wealth of the early 1800’s gave way to the fabulous wealth of the Rockefellers, Carnegies, and Vanderbilts. It fueled massive immigration, and changed the demography of the country from a predominately English to a mixed population .....

.... from all over bringing over their culture, this country would be very difficult to live in. You could have people like the bushmen living right next door to upper class Americans that just don’t want people who walk around pretty much nude right next to them. That then has people of different groups striving for their cultural identity to be shown because they aren’t fitting into the Eurocentric ideal of an “American” culture.

Boys were subject to hard labor and tending to the “manly” elements, while girls mastered home economics in chores like sewing, cleaning, and cooking. Although this society has experienced rapid chance over the past forty years, we still see some segregation in childhood behavior. Growing up for me was never easy. My responsibilities included tending to the housework, helping prepare dinners, doing laundry, and caring for my younger sister everyday of the week. In contrast, my br .....

.... want and get it out of your system early in life before you are thrown into the real world. Not ever going through a rebellious stage in my life I have found that today at age eighteen, while I feel grown up and mature I feel the need to act like a child, not for any particular reason except I feel twenty-five and need a way to make myself become younger than I am. If I would have rebelled I would have already found myself by experiencing life to its fullest. Not doing so I have not been able to find what makes me the happiest in life, how I think about issues that are controve .....
