Technology Artifact
Most people when asked "what is the benefits of technology?" would say without hesitation "it connects people closer together". In reality, most of us
are more disconnected than ever and don't even know it. The ease in which we are able to reach each other has inadvertently gotten us away from the
interactions that once put us closer together. My artifact 1 focuses on these issues of technology, and how technology makes us more disconnected
than ever before. The advancement of technology has given us two realities, our digital self and our real self. We have come to rely on technology, to
such an extent in our daily functions, that we get anxiety when we are not using it for a period of time. The usage of technology is not inherently bad,
but the neglect of the people we around, is bad. We feel the need to constantly stay connected to our virtual reality, that we may forget that we are
living in the present day. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Irony is the biggest one, as it is ironic that many believe that technology connects us closer together when it actually does not. Also it is ironic how
many of the social activities that we engage with that are meant to bring two or more people together, such as attending a concert, or dinner at a
restaurant, may not serve it's purpose as people tend to spend majority of their time recording the event or using their phone rather than talking to
each other. Even when we look at social medias such as Facebook where everyone is supposedly connected and are "friends". Ironically enough we
have way more "friends" in Facebook, than we probably would ever have in real life, and majority of them are acquaintances than actual friends.
Furthermore, there is also a use of rhetorical question so that the audience can use deductive reason as to their own usage of technology and the things
that they neglect because of its

Kindle Artifact
Do you think a small artifact is capable of changing your perspective about a very broad idea? An artifact that can dramatically change your daily
leisure time activities? I am sure that each and every one of us has an artifact that made the aforementioned changes to his life; for example your
mobile phone, laptop, a game, etc. One of these artifacts is my E–book reader (The Amazon Kindle) which I owned around eighteen months ago. My
relationship with my kindle taught me how to enjoy reading not only from E–books, but for hardcopy books and any other means. It introduces me to
many different cultures like the American and student cultures and I got to know how books are valuable in their life. In addition, it enriched me with

I can clearly see how the libraries are circulated everywhere in the American cities and campuses. I have visited some local libraries here in the U.S.,
and I was amazed by the number of people who visit them regularly. It is something you cannot see in the culture that I came from (The modern
Persian Gulf culture) where there're not too many libraries available; and if there are any, they are abandoned–nobody visit them. In addition, Most of
American libraries now support E–books and have an electronic system for borrowing them as well. Students, on the other hand, are used to using the
internet and its resources in their courses. The time when students carry with tens of kilograms of books is gone. So, it is more convenient for them to

Guts The guts of a watch are the source of its existence without them the watch cannot function. There are multiple differences in what goes into a
watch. Some watches can be made from expensive things like diamonds or emeralds while others are just made of different stainless steels. For
example, regular watches are made of tiny gears placed on top of each other in a watch shell made of plastic or some type of metal. Smart watches on
the other hand are made up like computers because they use circuit boards, processors, rechargeable batteries, and other small components. Not only
are watches made up of that but they also use some different bands that also have hundreds of different forms from wood, to metal, and nylon which
means you can accessorize as much as you like.
Fashion
A watch is not only an accessory that is used to tell time anymore due to the fact that we live in an era in which we use smart phones to check for time.
A watch has become more than just an accessory that we use to tell time. In our era, we use smart phones to check for the time nine times out of ten.
Watches have become a symbol that defines the person that wears it. We do not use watches to tell time anymore we use them as a fashion statement.

The Video London Underground Dinner Party
The video London Underground Dinner Party displays many different aspects of culture within the London commuter community. The video shows
a group of young people setting up a table and sitting down to eat food together in the middle of the train. Interestingly, there are different
microcultures present on this one train cart made up of ten to thirty people at a time. Those involved, receive very different and varying
interactions with the others present on the train. These responses and interactions represent the differences in cultures throughout this small train
car. Specifically, in the forms of knowledge, behavior and the cultural artifacts found throughout the video. This video is only a few minutes in
length, but is able to show so much if you look closely and pause the video from time to time. In the forms of cultural knowledge the boy had set
up the table and waited for his friends to arrive. Once they had arrived the boy shook their hands to greet them and welcomed them to the table.
After many of the people arrived, they began talking and engaging in eye contact which is another form of cultural knowledge specific to theirs.

Artifact Description: Map of You–Use tools in Inspiration9 Software to create a mind map with myself as the main idea.
What you learned: This was a new software program that I have never used. However, with a few instructions from the professor, this programs was
simple and fun to navigate. Inspiration9 made it simple from the very beginning. As soon as you launch the program, it automatically opens with a
"main idea" insert that you can type right over with your own topic of choice. From there, it was a simple matter to click on the "rapidfire" link. I
liked the name of the link, because it seemed to signal my brain to automatically begin a "rapidfire" thinking process. Once you hit the enter or return
key a lightening bolt flashes and you are ready to enter your next thought. The beauty is that the software automatically creates another map bubble for
you. You do not have to lose your brainstorming flow to create another bubble to insert your thoughts. This software is brilliant in that it encourages
rapid thinking without interruption to your thought flow. Once you've allowed your brain to rapidly flow through your ideas, then the real fun begins.
The software allows the user to insert pictures right over the thought bubbles. The program comes with several graphics or it is a simple process to

Greek Artifacts
Have you ever wondered how the artifacts got in your museums? Or why we have artifacts from different countries. Museums will often purchase or
receive artifacts from different places. There are a lot of rules and guidelines to have relics from other countries. However, some of these artifacts that
arrived at the museums where stolen or brought there by dubious means. Some countries have ways to get their precious relics back into their care.
Artifacts should be shown and experienced by people all over the world. As you walk through a museum and you look at at the different cultures you
are able to experience all types of things. "Some artifacts have been in museums for decades or even centuries and now some countries want them
back" (passage 1 para 2). Egypt, Greece, and Rome are countries that have really cool histories, if their relicts are stuffed in their museums than people
can't enjoy their stories. You can try to return the artifacts but some might be neglected. "Some scientists generally supported the law in which

cost several million. "If the artifact was moved on dubious than western museums will most likely transport it back to its country" (passage 3 para

shop and told me, I was getting a perm. I screamed so loud. You would've thought I had won the lottery. The reason why I wanted a perm was
because every one of my friends at my school had one too. After a year or so of having a perm and getting them touched up, I told my mom that
my hair started to come out. She instantly decided to let the perm grow out and stop there. I then started doing them myself the older I got, until
one day my hair started to fall out again. I started doing research on healthy hair for black women. I came across articles about other women hair
falling out because of perms. I started to notice my hair was so uneven and different textures and such, I became so intrigued in the topic I decided
to do study this more seriously. It almost was my after school job. My junior year of high school, I decided to perform the "big chop" on my hair.

Skype uses little to none bandwidth to send voice calls, ranging from 30kbps to 100kbps. Sending messages would be relatively easy as it goes
through the user's router and then to the recipients router, and finally it shows up on their screen. Skype is largely based on user user
communication and most for most of the time, there doesn't need to have another server to send messages. Instead of a proxy server, supernodes
are used for data flow and user connection. If there is a restrictive firewall blocking two users from using skype and sending messages, Skype uses
a method called "Hole Punching." This method will open up a communication channel through the firewall which will allow messages to be sent
through. A data concern that has been on Skype for a while is called DorkBot. DorkBot is more or less of a scam in which it will send users a link
with a message prompting the user to click on it. Upon clicking on the link, a virus would have been downloaded into the user's computer. After the
virus has been downloaded, the computer will be connected to a botnet and it will leave the user's computer dormant until a certain amount of money
is paid. There are also other viruses which upon getting them, will allow people to see what the Skype user is sending. They can see files being sent,

The Physics Of Egyptian Archaeology
From the start of the Carter's article, it is made known that clearing the objects from the antechamber is a delicate and difficult process. Each object
needs to be handled carefully, or they can crumble. The process was slow and, and put significant amount of pressure on archaeologists. One wrong
move, and evidence and knowledge from the past could be gone. Additionally, not all excavations are carried out properly, and because of this
knowledge of Egyptian Archaeology is fifty percent less than what it should be. Carter mentions there were many things that could have gone wrong,
one of these things being theft. Since everyone was excited about the tomb and because of the valuables, guards and security were needed to minimize
the chance of theft. Furthermore, the condition of the objects careful treatment was of concern and, and also visitors.
The first step of the process is photography. For this, movable electric standard lighting was required to take pictures of the chamber before anything
else. The photos were developed in an empty tomb used as a dark room. Next, they made a registering system with numbers so later they know where
the object came from in the tomb. Then, Carter describes, it was important to find a seclude storage and private space for the objects once removed,
which they found in the tomb of Seti II. This tomb was protected from the sun and open, although there were some space issues and distance problems

who are fully invested in a religion or practice feel as though it is a concrete science backed by their narratives and faith in them. This is displayed in
Nina's Adventures. With the use of this religious narrative as a "scientific explanation," Nina's Adventures tackles the outlook that religion is an
illogical subject, backed by the secular version of a myth. As Buddhist believe in rebirth fundamentally, they see their religious narratives as pieces of
concrete truth, like a science. This comic strip by Nina Paley is an interesting way to present the logicality of religion in a funny, non–threatening way.

Agricultural drones 2a.Agricultural drones are unmanned aerial vehicles that are used for soil and field analysis. They can produce accurate 3D

Drones can collect data in a lot of different ways. They can use 3D mapping to analyze soil. They can use this data to decide seed planting patterns,
irrigation, and to monitor nitrogen levels. They can also have hyperspectral, multispectral, or thermal sensors to identify which crops are more dry or
needs improvements. This data allows for the drone to decide which areas need more attention. By scanning a crop using both visible and near–infrared
light, drone–carried devices can identify which plants reflect different amounts of green light and NIR light. This information can produce multispectral
images that track changes in plants and indicate their health. A speedy response can save an entire orchard. Distance–measuring equipment–ultrasonic
echoing and lasers such as those used in the light–detection and ranging, or LiDAR, method–enables a drone to adjust altitude as the topography and
geography vary, and thus avoid collisions. All this data is used through various cameras and imaging to make the drones effective at keeping crops
healthy. With such a large amount of data usage and storage comes a large amount of data security concerns. The FBI and USDA believe that cyber
attackers might target the farming industry by stealing farm–level data in bulk (information about soil content, past crop yields, planting
recommendations, etc.) or destroying it in protest. They have also warned the attacker may encrypt collected data and hold it for ransom (Zorz). If

Steering Behavior in Virtual Environment Essay
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1Overview
In 21st century where IT is affecting every aspect of life we can see the effect of computer, electronics and modern machines in every domain. This big
penetration in our life has demanded the automation of all these machines. The automation or the quest to make them smarter and more independent
has led to seek applications in the fields of Steering behavior, Neural Network and Genetic Algorithms.
1.2Steering Behavior in Virtual Environment
Steering Behaviors present solutions for one major requirement of intelligent agents in animation, games, virtual reality and robotic movement: the
ability to navigate around their world may be real may be simulated in a life–like and improvisational ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Depending upon the experimental configuration, changes can be done in destination, behavior, acceleration, speed or manipulation of the intelligent
agent. The approach taken in this paper is to make steering behaviors as entirely independent from the underlying locomotion scheme. A simple
locomotion model will be presented in order to make the discussion of steering behaviors more accurate. Our locomotion model is based on a simple
vehicle model.
1.2.2Virtual Agents
To cater the need of computer animation, interactive media such as games and virtual reality there is need for intelligent agent, those who can navigate
according to requirement. These agents may have some ability to improvise their actions according to situation. This project will use the term
intelligent to denote these agents which are intelligent agents in a virtual world who may be interacting with other agents. Intelligent agents are
intended for use in computer animation and various interactive media such as games and virtual reality. This project will use the term virtual to denote
these agents which, rather than being simulations of an electrical device in the real world, are instead intelligent agents in a virtual world.

One can also locate video of Elvis performing it live. A person alive in the 1950s could have experienced the song live in person. This would be a
different experience since he or she would have been surrounded by a lot of screaming fans. Music can be experienced in a variety of places, either
socially (at a bar or diner) or alone, and what is going on around the listener at the time can affect the experience. Lastly, one can experience the
song to some degree as a kind of poetry simply by reading the lyrics.What catches my senses is her beauty and her impressive size. When viewed
from far it looks tiny however, from close range it is an amazing sculpture. From the pedestal to the top it measures 305 feet and 6 inches, with the

Exercise 2: Stratigraphy and Site Formation Processes
Based on the drawing, Culture D is most likely the oldest. Most of the artifacts labeled as being from Culture D are in the bottom layer of soil.
Though they do crop up in all the other layers, they appear to be disturbed rather than primary. Several are impeded in the temple, meaning that the
culture that built the temple probably used dirt which happened to contain the artifacts was used unintentionally. The other D artifacts that appear
closer to and at the surface were likely churned up by the constant disruption of the soil from the following culture. The third oldest culture was
probably Culture C. There is a clear layer under which most of the D artifacts were buried. A trash pit... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Most likely, during construction, other cultures unintentionally used dirt containing said artifacts. Reuse: Reuse in this particular case is hard to
identify. One possible example in the artifacts from Culture A embedded in the walls of the house. It is possible that objects created by A where
broken and then inserted into the walls to help provide support or additional strength.
A possible history of the site would include the initial settlement by Culture D. There is no evidence of any artificial structures. It is possible that they
used biodegradable materials, meaning that evidence of their settlement decomposed. After Culture D abandoned the site. Culture C then settled the
area. Assuming that Culture B built the temple, there is no evidence of structures. There is a trash pit, so it can be inferred that Culture C did live in
the area. Because their artifacts were so close together, it is possible that Cultures C and B lived very close in time. It is possible that Culture C
abandoned the site due to some kind of natural disaster or that they were pushed out by Culture B. As they settled the area, Culture B dug up the dirt in
the process of building their temple. That dirt contained artifacts of Culture C. It is also possible that they found artifacts from Culture C during this
process and found them significant enough to include them in their own burials. Once Culture B moved off the area, their remains were most likely
buried until Culture A found the site. As their house was built directly on top of the temple, it is possible that Culture A used the remains of the temple
to strengthen the foundation of their house. Because the area was settled so many times, the soil was dug up and churned many times, meaning that
artifacts from each culture were spread throughout the various strata of the

Artifacts Of Rossosville
Rossi stressed that the urban is artifacts, which is a kind of artificial environment made by human. The key issue, therefore, is to emphasize its artificial
character, which must establish a basic concept of human culture in urban culture. The city is not only an isolated artifact, he is a collective artifact.
The collective nature of the city brings it into the cultural zone. He believes that the city reflects the development of human rationality. Therefore, the
base point of Rossi 's thought is to look at the city from the view of architecture or by means of construction. That is, the mutual penetration of cities
and buildings. Buildings involve the human spirit when constructing. " Thus, the concept that one person has of an urban artifact will always differ
from that of someone who 'lives' that same artifact. These considerations, however, can delimit our task; it is possible that our task consists principally
in defining an urban artifact from the standpoint of its manufacture: in other works, to define and classify a street, a city, a street in a city; then the
location of this street, its function, its architecture; then the street systems possible in the city and many other things." Artifacts are not limited to
objective products, but also related to the city, such as history, geography, structure and other relevant facts. In short, architecture has the meaning
beyond the objective materials, but unifies the spirit of collective. The collective nature of this

The Constitution as an Artifact
Abstract
This paper is an analysis of the single cultural artifact that best represents the culture in which I live in today. The paper will provide a detailed
analysis of the artifact and how it relates to the values and beliefs of the culture. Additionally, it will address the deep cultural roots of the artifact, the
historical roots of the artifact, what allowed it to come into being and who was affected by its development. This information will come as someone
trained from the humanities.
There are many great artifacts that represent the culture we're currently residing in. However, as an American and someone trained in the humanities, I
believe there is no better example of this than the actual Constitution of the United ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Specifically, the framers wrapped their heads around the notion that every man is created equal and should have the same chances to excel as everyone
else (Williamsburg Foundation, 2005). The constitutional creators also believed in limited government, as large government hindered the rights of the
people and thus stifled innovation. The roots of the constitution come from a largely pragmatic and realist base who wished to ensure that people in the
future could modify the constitution as necessary. However, they would have to go through quite a bit of red–tape to do it. This would ensure nobody's
rights were trampled and that everyone agreed on the change. It was a brilliant idea. Very few documents have ever lasted through the test of time such
as the United States Constitution (Williamsburg Foundation, 2005). I envision the United States Constitution standing through the next few
generations. However, currently it's under attack by the ever–growing socialist movement. The idea that government should control resources and
people aren't smart enough to do it themselves (Phyllis Shayfay report, 2009) is a tenet of the extreme left movement. The "big brother" state is

This artifact is believed to be a hammer stone and part of the stone had a rougher patch that seems indented from its use as a hammer stone. The
smooth texture on one side indicates the stone may have been found near the creek by the original owners (Figure 7).
Hammer stones come in all shapes and sizes across a variety of cultures. They are usually stones found, not made, by indigenous people. They are
comprised of local materials and could fit into hands securely. They are most likely the oldest tools used by apes and humans. Certain species of
apes are known to use hammer stones to crack open hard shelled food and as weapons against other groups or individuals. The stone was found a
few centimeters to the right of a core (Figure 7). A core is the original object flakes and shatter come from (Andrefsky, 2005). Cores are modified to
become a tool or create flakes that will later become tools themselves. The core found at Koon's Landing was made of quartzite, a material usually
chosen to make projectile points or other tools because it is extremely durable. Though the stone and the core were found close to each other, no
quartzite flakes or shatter were found nearby. The hammers stone and core seem to be discarded, supporting the hypothesis of a dumping site close to

Should Culture Be A Commodity
Should culture be a commodity? In other words, should culture be able to be bought and sold for a profit? Cultural artifacts, by any meaningful
measure, currently are a commodity. They are bought and sold on the art market in places as far and wide as legitimate auctions in London or New
York to sale on the thriving black market trade currently funding a brutal terrorist organization in Syria and Iraq. A more famous example, ofculture
acting as commodity, took place in 2007 when the Guennol Lioness, a famous Mesopotamian statue, was sold in Sotheby 's for an astounding fifty
seven point two million dollars. It was bought by a private collector and is now, of course, out of the public eye. Coming back to the central question,
I am of the opinion that culture should not be a commodity due to its effect on the context of the objects as well as its effect on the cultural value of the
artifacts to the various stakeholders in question. If the buying and selling of cultural artifacts does one thing well, it is the destruction of context. In
The Ethics of Archaeology (2006), Robert Layton and Gillian Wallace state that "the crime of the undocumented antiquities trade is its undocumented
destruction of context" (p. 57). As they point out, this destruction of context can be simple and in some ways benign. Something as simple as the
removal of a Byzantine coin being removed from its original context "in a money pouch" to "a museum case or a collector 's coin display board"

Artifacts would be better kept in certain conditions, and some places are not suited to do so. The artifacts that have been here for centuries that are not
put in the correct conditions have degraded and some have come to the point of no return, having been broken down and rendered unusable. This could
have been prevented, had the artifacts been put in an environment where they could be cared for and enjoyed longer. Many people argue that they
should be returned to their place of origin, but is that really worth risking the artifact? They can still be looked at, admired and inspected, just in a better

The Value Of Artifact
I.I believe humans have a need to express themselves through created artifacts because it gives them a sense of purpose. It allows them to express their
views and thoughts of what existence should mean or to help answer many of life's questions. Humans create to keep lessons imprinted in time, so they
are not forgotten, so that mistakes may not get repeated. Humans create things of deeper expression to pass on knowledge and emotions.
A.What studying my United States Submarine dolphin warfare insignia explained about the larger human need to express was that people create to pass
on knowledge, or to encapsulate emotion and expression in time. The need to express originated as a technique to survive. To survive our ancestors
needed pass on technique and experience, they needed to create a method of expression. As time progressed and humans evolved they started
questioning things, they looked to understand happenings around them. They started to question their existence and purpose. Artifact creation tells
stories and embodies the creator's visions to be passed along to others in hopes that they may learn and feel.

This whole course has shown me that artifacts often have long stories behind them. Some may be more influential or accessible to a society, but all

Technology Artifact

  • 1. Technology Artifact Most people when asked "what is the benefits of technology?" would say without hesitation "it connects people closer together". In reality, most of us are more disconnected than ever and don't even know it. The ease in which we are able to reach each other has inadvertently gotten us away from the interactions that once put us closer together. My artifact 1 focuses on these issues of technology, and how technology makes us more disconnected than ever before. The advancement of technology has given us two realities, our digital self and our real self. We have come to rely on technology, to such an extent in our daily functions, that we get anxiety when we are not using it for a period of time. The usage of technology is not inherently bad, but the neglect of the people we around, is bad. We feel the need to constantly stay connected to our virtual reality, that we may forget that we are living in the present day. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Irony is the biggest one, as it is ironic that many believe that technology connects us closer together when it actually does not. Also it is ironic how many of the social activities that we engage with that are meant to bring two or more people together, such as attending a concert, or dinner at a restaurant, may not serve it's purpose as people tend to spend majority of their time recording the event or using their phone rather than talking to each other. Even when we look at social medias such as Facebook where everyone is supposedly connected and are "friends". Ironically enough we have way more "friends" in Facebook, than we probably would ever have in real life, and majority of them are acquaintances than actual friends. Furthermore, there is also a use of rhetorical question so that the audience can use deductive reason as to their own usage of technology and the things that they neglect because of its ...

  • 2. Kindle Artifact Do you think a small artifact is capable of changing your perspective about a very broad idea? An artifact that can dramatically change your daily leisure time activities? I am sure that each and every one of us has an artifact that made the aforementioned changes to his life; for example your mobile phone, laptop, a game, etc. One of these artifacts is my E–book reader (The Amazon Kindle) which I owned around eighteen months ago. My relationship with my kindle taught me how to enjoy reading not only from E–books, but for hardcopy books and any other means. It introduces me to many different cultures like the American and student cultures and I got to know how books are valuable in their life. In addition, it enriched me with valuable secondhand... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... I can clearly see how the libraries are circulated everywhere in the American cities and campuses. I have visited some local libraries here in the U.S., and I was amazed by the number of people who visit them regularly. It is something you cannot see in the culture that I came from (The modern Persian Gulf culture) where there're not too many libraries available; and if there are any, they are abandoned–nobody visit them. In addition, Most of American libraries now support E–books and have an electronic system for borrowing them as well. Students, on the other hand, are used to using the internet and its resources in their courses. The time when students carry with tens of kilograms of books is gone. So, it is more convenient for them to read using E–books which becomes part of their culture as people who love portability and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. Artifact Essay Artifact Ricardo Delgado Lee College Artifact Writer's Memo The paper is based off of a couple of things that are not ever too far away from a person. One being a watch because ever since they were invented they have been used all across the world. The other is video games which went from a simple console that you had to plug into the television and play to being super accessible because it is in every ones' person. Thesis Apple The artifact mentioned in the essay is watch; now in class we talked about how certain things can be used to determine gender. A smart watch relates to this because it has cases and bands, focusing on apple watches. The apple watch comes in different sizes and colors. The size that one gets depends ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Guts The guts of a watch are the source of its existence without them the watch cannot function. There are multiple differences in what goes into a watch. Some watches can be made from expensive things like diamonds or emeralds while others are just made of different stainless steels. For example, regular watches are made of tiny gears placed on top of each other in a watch shell made of plastic or some type of metal. Smart watches on the other hand are made up like computers because they use circuit boards, processors, rechargeable batteries, and other small components. Not only are watches made up of that but they also use some different bands that also have hundreds of different forms from wood, to metal, and nylon which means you can accessorize as much as you like. Fashion A watch is not only an accessory that is used to tell time anymore due to the fact that we live in an era in which we use smart phones to check for time. A watch has become more than just an accessory that we use to tell time. In our era, we use smart phones to check for the time nine times out of ten. Watches have become a symbol that defines the person that wears it. We do not use watches to tell time anymore we use them as a fashion statement.

  • 4. The Video London Underground Dinner Party The video London Underground Dinner Party displays many different aspects of culture within the London commuter community. The video shows a group of young people setting up a table and sitting down to eat food together in the middle of the train. Interestingly, there are different microcultures present on this one train cart made up of ten to thirty people at a time. Those involved, receive very different and varying interactions with the others present on the train. These responses and interactions represent the differences in cultures throughout this small train car. Specifically, in the forms of knowledge, behavior and the cultural artifacts found throughout the video. This video is only a few minutes in length, but is able to show so much if you look closely and pause the video from time to time. In the forms of cultural knowledge the boy had set up the table and waited for his friends to arrive. Once they had arrived the boy shook their hands to greet them and welcomed them to the table. After many of the people arrived, they began talking and engaging in eye contact which is another form of cultural knowledge specific to theirs. Passing food from one person to another and then to those positioned away from the table. In some cultures sharing food is seen as a polite, bonding gesture as it is displayed in the video. Another cultural knowledge specific to some, is the cheers that are given before a meal using glasses, however on this train they displayed cheers at ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Artifact: My First Artifacts My first artifact is the American Flag. The American flag is red,white,and blue. On the blue part there are 50 stars on it, each one represents a state. There are red and white stripes beside the blue part. This is important to me because I love my country and I would do anything to protect it. Another reason I chose it is the flag gave me my freedom and if it were not for that flag we would have monarchy instead on democracy. I have another one I'd like to share with you. It is my television or TV. My TV is a smart tv so it can get on theinternet. It is black and 54''inches. One, of the reasons I chose my TV is because it shows who I am by what I watch.

  • 6. Teacher Artifact This artifact consisted in developing an essay addressing the three key areas in the role of the teacher: effective communication with a variety of constituents; consistent application of the Code of Ethics and Principles of Professional Conduct in professional and personal conduct; and clear comprehension of the grounds and procedures for disciplinary actions that can be imposed by the Education Practices Commission (EPC). Passion, knowledge of our duties, responsibility, and preparation are the key factors on which teachers should focus their teaching; these are the essential components that will permit teachers be ready for any situation and run a successful classroom. It is key to engage systematic reflection on our own teaching. Research has shown how deliberate and critical reflection on teaching practices contributes to excellence in our role as teachers, and improved educational outcomes for all children. Teachers are encouraged to regularly evaluate... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... My students will be facing a person who inspires and encourages them to strive for greatness, live to their fullest potential and see the best in themselves. Students learn through me, through my commitment to excellence and through my ability to make them realize their own personal growth. I will be there for my students willing to give them advice and guidance. I also gained relevant knowledge when working on this artifact; now I feel myself more skilled to help my students develop a love of learning and become lifelong learners as well as understand themselves and those around them. I have also realized that much of what students learn from us, the teachers, is not detailed on a syllabus; we are who help them grow as responsible people, acquire talents they bring with them to school, and develop new, necessary skills and abilities to be successful in school and in ...

  • 7. Artifact Description Artifact Description: Map of You–Use tools in Inspiration9 Software to create a mind map with myself as the main idea. What you learned: This was a new software program that I have never used. However, with a few instructions from the professor, this programs was simple and fun to navigate. Inspiration9 made it simple from the very beginning. As soon as you launch the program, it automatically opens with a "main idea" insert that you can type right over with your own topic of choice. From there, it was a simple matter to click on the "rapidfire" link. I liked the name of the link, because it seemed to signal my brain to automatically begin a "rapidfire" thinking process. Once you hit the enter or return key a lightening bolt flashes and you are ready to enter your next thought. The beauty is that the software automatically creates another map bubble for you. You do not have to lose your brainstorming flow to create another bubble to insert your thoughts. This software is brilliant in that it encourages rapid thinking without interruption to your thought flow. Once you've allowed your brain to rapidly flow through your ideas, then the real fun begins. The software allows the user to insert pictures right over the thought bubbles. The program comes with several graphics or it is a simple process to copy and paste a graphic from the internet or one of your own personal pictures. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Greek Artifacts Have you ever wondered how the artifacts got in your museums? Or why we have artifacts from different countries. Museums will often purchase or receive artifacts from different places. There are a lot of rules and guidelines to have relics from other countries. However, some of these artifacts that arrived at the museums where stolen or brought there by dubious means. Some countries have ways to get their precious relics back into their care. Artifacts should be shown and experienced by people all over the world. As you walk through a museum and you look at at the different cultures you are able to experience all types of things. "Some artifacts have been in museums for decades or even centuries and now some countries want them back" (passage 1 para 2). Egypt, Greece, and Rome are countries that have really cool histories, if their relicts are stuffed in their museums than people can't enjoy their stories. You can try to return the artifacts but some might be neglected. "Some scientists generally supported the law in which countries that find artifacts within their borders receive ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... For example Zahi Hawass regards the famous Rosetta Stone as stolen property and that it belongs in Egypt (passage 2 para 10). Some counties have been returning objects to their original countries. Returning these artifacts can be expensive, like a ancient statue that was exported back to Italy, it can cost several million. "If the artifact was moved on dubious than western museums will most likely transport it back to its country" (passage 3 para 21,22). These countries wanting their artifacts back is understandable, they want their history available to the citizens that live there. If these countries do take their objects back than quite a few museums will lose half of their relicts. It is quite interesting to look at different cultures without having to travel to those ...

  • 10. Adolescence And Artifact Adolescence and Artifact Paper The artifact from my adolescent years is the revolution of perm and or relaxer kits. Black women and girls would go crazy for this stuff. Perm kits are a chemical based product that women put in their hair to relax the strains of their hair to become straight. This was seen most commonly in African American community. Our hair texture is normally kinky or curly. The kit processed the hair to be more manageable and straight. The age that I feel that describes adolescence is 13 years old. At that age girls are developing and learning about themselves. This is the time where everything starts to semi make sense in their minds. They can feel their body transitioning, but still be able to be a child. In my opinion ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... When I was 10– 12 years old I begged my mother to let me get a perm. She denied my request daily. On my 13th birthday she took me to the beauty shop and told me, I was getting a perm. I screamed so loud. You would've thought I had won the lottery. The reason why I wanted a perm was because every one of my friends at my school had one too. After a year or so of having a perm and getting them touched up, I told my mom that my hair started to come out. She instantly decided to let the perm grow out and stop there. I then started doing them myself the older I got, until one day my hair started to fall out again. I started doing research on healthy hair for black women. I came across articles about other women hair falling out because of perms. I started to notice my hair was so uneven and different textures and such, I became so intrigued in the topic I decided to do study this more seriously. It almost was my after school job. My junior year of high school, I decided to perform the "big chop" on my hair. Which is where a woman cuts out all of the damage hair and start from scratch. My friends turned on me, and I was an outsider for that next year. But I had the support of my family. I stuck with it from then to present day. This item represents my adolescence because it taught me so much about myself, which has still been a leading cause in my life even now.

Also with buying Skype Credits to gain premium status, users can access over 2,000,000 Skype WiFi hotspots. My artifact will illustrate the big picture of how Skype works. I will be showing how the calling and sending messages function and also the screen sharing function. B. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– C. Skype has a role in a lot of everyday communication for some ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Skype uses little to none bandwidth to send voice calls, ranging from 30kbps to 100kbps. Sending messages would be relatively easy as it goes through the user's router and then to the recipients router, and finally it shows up on their screen. Skype is largely based on user user communication and most for most of the time, there doesn't need to have another server to send messages. Instead of a proxy server, supernodes are used for data flow and user connection. If there is a restrictive firewall blocking two users from using skype and sending messages, Skype uses a method called "Hole Punching." This method will open up a communication channel through the firewall which will allow messages to be sent through. A data concern that has been on Skype for a while is called DorkBot. DorkBot is more or less of a scam in which it will send users a link with a message prompting the user to click on it. Upon clicking on the link, a virus would have been downloaded into the user's computer. After the virus has been downloaded, the computer will be connected to a botnet and it will leave the user's computer dormant until a certain amount of money is paid. There are also other viruses which upon getting them, will allow people to see what the Skype user is sending. They can see files being sent, messages being sent, and even control the ...

Each object needs to be handled carefully, or they can crumble. The process was slow and, and put significant amount of pressure on archaeologists. One wrong move, and evidence and knowledge from the past could be gone. Additionally, not all excavations are carried out properly, and because of this knowledge of Egyptian Archaeology is fifty percent less than what it should be. Carter mentions there were many things that could have gone wrong, one of these things being theft. Since everyone was excited about the tomb and because of the valuables, guards and security were needed to minimize the chance of theft. Furthermore, the condition of the objects careful treatment was of concern and, and also visitors. The first step of the process is photography. For this, movable electric standard lighting was required to take pictures of the chamber before anything else. The photos were developed in an empty tomb used as a dark room. Next, they made a registering system with numbers so later they know where the object came from in the tomb. Then, Carter describes, it was important to find a seclude storage and private space for the objects once removed, which they found in the tomb of Seti II.

The charming and amusing comic strip is centered around a person asking a Buddhist God if they "ever feel like [they're] surrounded by stupid sheep" (Paley). The God goes on to explain how the Buddhist myth (narrative) of reincarnation, or rebirth, is involved in the increased amount of sheep–like people (Paley). The God reasons that with an increased population of people more animals (particularly sheep) are being consumed rapidly (Paley). In return, sheep souls outweigh the amount of human souls available for rebirth, making the sheep reincarnate into humans (Paley). The character goes on to say "that is the best argument for ...

However, most individuals who are fully invested in a religion or practice feel as though it is a concrete science backed by their narratives and faith in them. This is displayed in Nina's Adventures. With the use of this religious narrative as a "scientific explanation," Nina's Adventures tackles the outlook that religion is an illogical subject, backed by the secular version of a myth. As Buddhist believe in rebirth fundamentally, they see their religious narratives as pieces of concrete truth, like a science. This comic strip by Nina Paley is an interesting way to present the logicality of religion in a funny, non–threatening way.

They can use 3D mapping to analyze soil. They can use this data to decide seed planting patterns, irrigation, and to monitor nitrogen levels. They can also have hyperspectral, multispectral, or thermal sensors to identify which crops are more dry or needs improvements. This data allows for the drone to decide which areas need more attention. By scanning a crop using both visible and near–infrared light, drone–carried devices can identify which plants reflect different amounts of green light and NIR light. This information can produce multispectral images that track changes in plants and indicate their health. A speedy response can save an entire orchard. Distance–measuring equipment–ultrasonic echoing and lasers such as those used in the light–detection and ranging, or LiDAR, method–enables a drone to adjust altitude as the topography and geography vary, and thus avoid collisions. All this data is used through various cameras and imaging to make the drones effective at keeping crops healthy. With such a large amount of data usage and storage comes a large amount of data security concerns. The FBI and USDA believe that cyber attackers might target the farming industry by stealing farm–level data in bulk (information about soil content, past crop yields, planting recommendations, etc.) or destroying it in protest.

One possible example in the artifacts from Culture A embedded in the walls of the house. It is possible that objects created by A where broken and then inserted into the walls to help provide support or additional strength. A possible history of the site would include the initial settlement by Culture D. There is no evidence of any artificial structures. It is possible that they used biodegradable materials, meaning that evidence of their settlement decomposed. After Culture D abandoned the site. Culture C then settled the area. Assuming that Culture B built the temple, there is no evidence of structures. There is a trash pit, so it can be inferred that Culture C did live in the area. Because their artifacts were so close together, it is possible that Cultures C and B lived very close in time. It is possible that Culture C abandoned the site due to some kind of natural disaster or that they were pushed out by Culture B. As they settled the area, Culture B dug up the dirt in the process of building their temple. That dirt contained artifacts of Culture C. It is also possible that they found artifacts from Culture C during this process and found them significant enough to include them in their own burials. Once Culture B moved off the area, their remains were most likely buried until Culture A found the site. As their house was built directly on top of the temple, it is possible that Culture A used the remains of the temple to strengthen the foundation of their house.

  • 30. Artifacts Of Rossosville Rossi stressed that the urban is artifacts, which is a kind of artificial environment made by human. The key issue, therefore, is to emphasize its artificial character, which must establish a basic concept of human culture in urban culture. The city is not only an isolated artifact, he is a collective artifact. The collective nature of the city brings it into the cultural zone. He believes that the city reflects the development of human rationality. Therefore, the base point of Rossi 's thought is to look at the city from the view of architecture or by means of construction. That is, the mutual penetration of cities and buildings. Buildings involve the human spirit when constructing. " Thus, the concept that one person has of an urban artifact will always differ from that of someone who 'lives' that same artifact. These considerations, however, can delimit our task; it is possible that our task consists principally in defining an urban artifact from the standpoint of its manufacture: in other works, to define and classify a street, a city, a street in a city; then the location of this street, its function, its architecture; then the street systems possible in the city and many other things."

The roots of the constitution come from a largely pragmatic and realist base who wished to ensure that people in the future could modify the constitution as necessary.

  • 35. Should Culture Be A Commodity Should culture be a commodity? In other words, should culture be able to be bought and sold for a profit? Cultural artifacts, by any meaningful measure, currently are a commodity. They are bought and sold on the art market in places as far and wide as legitimate auctions in London or New York to sale on the thriving black market trade currently funding a brutal terrorist organization in Syria and Iraq. A more famous example, ofculture acting as commodity, took place in 2007 when the Guennol Lioness, a famous Mesopotamian statue, was sold in Sotheby 's for an astounding fifty seven point two million dollars. It was bought by a private collector and is now, of course, out of the public eye. Coming back to the central question, I am of the opinion that culture should not be a commodity due to its effect on the context of the objects as well as its effect on the cultural value of the artifacts to the various stakeholders in question. If the buying and selling of cultural artifacts does one thing well, it is the destruction of context. In The Ethics of Archaeology (2006), Robert Layton and Gillian Wallace state that "the crime of the undocumented antiquities trade is its undocumented destruction of context" (p. 57).
