Understanding Culture
Food, Faith, & Culture
Dr. Fred Foy Strang
For this exercise you are conducting anthropological “field research” through participation,
participant observation, and data recording. This is a simple foray into the field so it does not
include a formal literature review or establishment of hypotheses. Our task is simply to
experience and reflect upon a ‘hands-on’ opportunity for actual observation, data recording, and
preliminary analysis.
Food is an important part of everyone’s culture. Food is also connected to religious
observance and spiritual ritual for many different faiths, including Christianity, Judaism,
Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. The role of food in cultural practices and religious beliefs is
complex and varies among individuals and communities.
Focus on the Issue (Food, Faith, & Culture)
• To examine local and non-indigenous cultural influences reflected at various at public
eateries?
• To discover where these distinctives find convergence or how local culture is
reflected in the eatery/food.
• To observe social dynamics and cultural practices in public eateries and postulate
connections to local culture and/or religion.
Focus on Observation
What are the surroundings? What are people wearing? What language(s)/dialect(s) is/are
spoken? What customs are observed? Who is involved in these customs? What do you
notice about the participants (workers/owners/customers).
Focus on Interaction
Who is serving you? What do you observe about their work? Are their other people
involved in the establishment? What are their roles? You are encouraged to engage in ‘non-
directive interviewing’ on the topic of food and its relationship to culture & religion. (This is
simply getting a responder to talk and converse about a certain subject as opposed to
‘directive interviewing’ which asks specific questions or utilizes surveys.)
Focus on Participation
Place an order for something to eat. How is the food you ordered and will eat related to the
cultural influences you are observing? How do you pay for your food and recognize the
service you received?
Focus on Analysis
(This will be a minimum of 4 double spaced pages and a maximum of 7).
Document your research in a formal report format. Include in your analysis preliminary
answers to the initial issues. Finally, postulate a relationship between food, culture and faith.
What questions require further research? What kind of research might that be?

One major technological advancement I think will affect profiling practices in the future is CGT (Criminal Geographic Targeting). CGT is a computerized geographic profiling technique used in police investigations of complex serial crimes (Rossmo, 1995). A criminal analysis technique that uses the locations of a connected series of crime sites to determine the most probable area of the offender's residence. According to Rossmo, geography plays an important role in the offender's selection of suitable victims, which is why this program will be important in the future. The CGT produces a map showing specific details, for example, patrol saturation, grid and area searches, police information and record systems, outside agency databases, and zip code prioritization. This process includes investigation reports, witness statements, autopsy reports, and psychological profiles (1995). In addition, a detailed examination of a crime scene, interviews with lead investigators, crime analysts, and demographic data (Holmes & Holmes, 2004).
The computer revolution has arrived in our world and is becoming the next major advance in our arsenal of weapons against crime. The computer revolution has dramatically influenced the criminal justice system and is used to track crimes and criminals. The future of computerized monitoring, for example, is that of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), which uses a tracking system called the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN). In addition, computerized profiling may soon help law enforcement personnel define efficiently the types of personalities associated with violent crimes such as murder, rape, and serial murder (Holmes & Holmes, 2004).

I think the technology advancements in criminal profiling in the future and I do believe that GPS and Drones will be more effective in the future because with GPS it can give the location of the suspect, it helps with high-speed chases, and it even help the law enforcement where the victim was last seen through their cellphones tower and GPS systems. GIS systems help with keeping track of police vehicles and give the department their location at any time. Drones give more adapt process of the suspect and it can help you cover more area to help in locating the suspect, give you more details of crime and help in finding evidence that law enforcement missed during their first investigation. Drones can reach harder places and can be beneficial to the crime scene.

The Christianity Religion
Christianity is the largest religion in the world. It involves a large number of people globally who adhere to it. The religion has a number of customs and tenets that have to do with dying, bereavement, rites of grieving, burial and cremation. One of the most active areas of inquiry worldwide has been attempting to comprehend how different religions view death. This subject is significant since everyone must undergo death at some point in their lives. Students that are studying religion and culture will find this information useful. Additionally, this information will be extremely helpful to anyone who is interested in Christianity or, more specifically, death.
Christians consider that a person's physical existence begins at birth and ends at death. They have a steadfast conviction that there is only one journey through this world, and it ends in death. Christians believe that each person only experiences death once during their lifetime and that it can happen to anyone at any time. Anyone can die, regardless of their age or gender; in other words, whether you're young or old, male or female, you must pass away. They hold the view that God, their heavenly and spiritual father, decides who lives and who dies as well as planning everyone's death (Vail III & Soenke 2018). They refer to death as God's will, which they are obligated to accept despite their heart desires. They believe there is life after death. They hold the view that after passing away, the souls of the deceased begin a new existence.
Undoubtedly, one of the most frequently discussed subjects in literature is death. Themes like pain and grief, love, perseverance, illness, and immortality are frequently depicted in combination with death and are hence closely tied to it. Death typically has themes of pain and grief, particularly when it affects persons who were close to the departed. Mourning stems from suffering and grief (Vail III & Soenke 2018). Mourning is the sentiment of sadness for another person's passing. Christians believe that after a death, the bereaved person's immediate family should get together and grieve with them. They view it as something that has an impact on society as a whole. They pray for God to comfort the family members during the period of grieving. They also give God, who they believe is in charge of the departed, the soul of the individual who has passed away.
Once an individual has passed away a ceremony is carried out to celebrate the life of the deceased person, a funeral ceremony. Some of the ceremonies are held publicly or privately depending on the choice of the family members. During the ceremony, they share about the person’s life and bury their body. After the funeral ceremony, the body is either buried or cremated. Burring involves covering the body underground while cremation involves burning the body into ashes. Death is a stage.

Part 1 Major Events DocumentationScenario You visit a retail.docxalisondakintxt
Part 1: Major Events Documentation
Scenario: You visit a retail establishment, shop around, and finally carry several products to one of the point of sale (POS) terminals distributed openly around the store. You produce a credit card, the salesclerk processes the transaction, bags your goods, and hands you the receipt. On your way to the exit, a store employee asks to see your receipt and checks the contents of the store bag. Document each of the major events just described and explain them in terms of the PCI compliance standard. Include this report in your assignment.
Part 2: PCI Compliance
This part of the assignment will cover PCI. Please refer to the attached file in your responses.
Respond to and address the following in essay style:
1. Suppose HGA’s mainframe, depicted in Figure B-1, stored cardholder data in the private databases. What steps should be taken to protect that data in order to be PCI compliant?
2. HGA’s mainframe has network connectivity. Assuming that cardholder data is transmitted across these networks, describe how data should be protected in transmission.
3. Users are located at various sites connected to the HGA network. Suggest appropriate access controls to restrict unauthorized users from looking at cardholder data.
4. The PCI specification notes that all systems and network devices connected to a system that stores, transmits, or processes cardholder data is in scope and must comply with PCI specifications. To avoid having the whole network subject to PCI specifications, how would you segment the network to reduce the scope of compliance?
Assignment Requirements:
Submit your assignment in the usual double-spaced APA-styled report. At least four pages of material are expected beyond the title page, table of contents, abstract, and references page.
· Answers contain sufficient information to adequately answer the questions
· No spelling errors
· No grammar errors

R1
According to the John Hopkins website “Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) aims for the ideal that healthcare professionals should make "conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence" in their everyday practice.” This means that it is factual based care. Do not think it s immoral to provide care under this model versus cultural medical beliefs. As we have whiteness' with ,the spirit catches you and you fall down. Many of these beliefs have no scientific merit or value, and they are not always safe. It’s a hard thing to try to convince someone that their cultural beliefs are not safe, but it is our duty as medical professionals to assist everyone and help them maintain good outcomes. This is something that we need to make sure we are able to do in a caring manner, and as we have seen, sometimes it may not always happen the way we would like.
I do not believe that it is considered a perception puzzle. There is science backed evidence, and the cultural beliefs are just that beliefs … and it is what they see. Yes, it is the way they interpret and perceive this - but that does not mean that it is a puzzle to be solved but more of a kaleidoscope view of the science based truth .
R2
Is it immoral or insensitive to set evidence-based medical practice over other cultural medical beliefs?
According to the National Institute of Health. (2021). “Evidence-based medicine (EBM) uses the scientific method to organize and apply current data to improve healthcare decisions. Thus, the best available science is combined with the healthcare professional's clinical experience and the patient's values to arrive at the best medical decision for the patient.” While Steven Tenny & Matthew Varacallo (2021) stated that “Culture is a combination of a body of knowledge, a body of belief, and a body of behavior which involves several elements that are often specific to ethnic, racial, religious, geographic, or social groups that includes personal identification, language, thoughts, communications, actions, customs, beliefs, values, and institutions.” Based on these definitions, I don’t think it is immoral or insensitive to set evidence-based medical practice over other cultural medical beliefs unless in a situation whereby it goes against the wishes of that patient which can be insensitive.
Fadiman compares the Hmong to a visual perception puzzle (p. 237). Do you agree or disagree with her metaphor? Explain your reasoning.
Fadiman compares the Hmong to a visual perception puzzle because a puzzle is like words one can see but is.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Module 6: Suicide
Suicide: Definition
An individual Act to cause his or her own death
(No one else is involved)
WITH
The Intention to Die
Suicide
• Suicide is one of the leading causes of death
6. in the world
o It is estimated that 700,000 people die of it each
year, with 31,000 suicides per year in the U.S.
alone
• Many more unsuccessfully attempt suicide
than actually succeed
o Such attempts are called “parasuicides”
Suicide
• It is difficult to obtain accurate figures on
suicide rates
o Many “accidents” may be intentional deaths
• Suicide is not classified as a mental disorder
in the DSM-IV-TR
o While suicide is often linked to depression,
about half of all suicides result from other mental
disorders or involve no clear mental disorder at
all
What Do The Statistics Tell Us?
• Suicide is the 11th most common cause of
death in the United States
• The number of suicides is underrepresented
• Medical examiners will shade the fact when there is
7. any ambiguity as to the cause of death
• Accidents are often suicides
• For self-inflicted injury to be classified as suicide the
intentionality of the action must be established
What Do The Statistics Tell Us?
• Suicide Rate = (Number of Suicides X 100,000),
divided by the population
• Not a percentage
• U.S. rate is 10.7, meaning 10 and 11 people out of
every hundred thousand commit suicide per year
• Suicide rates three times higher than those in
the U.S. and Canada are found in the Russian
Federation, Belarus, China, Estonia, Hungary,
and Kazakhstan
How Is Suicide Studied?
• Suicide researchers face a major obstacle:
their subjects are no longer alive
• Researchers use two different strategies to
try to overcome this obstacle (with partial
8. success):
o Retrospective analysis
o Studying people who survive their suicide
attempts
Suicide Patterns in the U.S.
• Completed suicides occur most often among
white males
• White male suicide rate increases with age,
but females and nonwhite males reach their
peak vulnerability earlier in adult life
• Suicide remains the third leading cause of
death among youth (ages 15-24)
Suicide Patterns in the U.S.
• Bad economic times are usually associated with an
increase in suicide
• The suicide rate is higher among people who:
• Suffer from depression or other psychiatric problems
• Use alcohol while depressed
• Deal with challenges and frustrations in impulsive ways
• Are divorced
• Lost an important relationship through death or break-up
• Live in certain areas of the country
9. Suicide Patterns in the U.S.

Highest Suicide
Rates (in order)
• Wyoming
• Alaska
• Montana
• Nevada
• New Mexico
• States with the
Lowest Suicide
Rates (in order)
• Connecticut
• Massachusetts
• New Jersey
• New York
• District of Columbia
Youth Suicide
• The increase in completed suicides is greater for males,
although more suicide attempts are made by young
women
10. • Both sexes turn to firearms and explosives as the most
common method of self destruction
• Academic pressure seems related to suicide among
college students but not in a simple way
• Most of those who have gone on to commit suicide
expressed their despondency to others and made
explicit comments about their intentions
Youth Suicide
• The immoderate use of alcohol and other drugs occurs
more often with suicidal people (at all ages)
• The loss of a valued relationship is one of the most
common triggering events for youth suicide
• Heavy metal music attracts depressed and suicidal youth
– it does not cause suicide
• Teens and adolescents who frequently change their
place of residence are at a higher risk for suicide
11. Family Characteristics
Associated with Youth Suicide
• The families impose rigid rules
• Communication patterns are poor
• Parent may establish too strong an emotional
bond with the youth (smother love) while not
encouraging responsibility and independence
• Long-term patterns of dysfunction exist within
the family
Suicide Among Elderly Persons
• Since 1990, the largest suicide rate has been
among people 85 and older
• Elderly white men are the most vulnerable to
suicide (by age 85 suicide rate is 18)
• Often choose firearms as mode of suicide
• Less likely to give warning signs
• More likely to plan suicide
• Less likely to recover from an attempt
12. Suicide Among Elderly Persons
• Factors that increase the risk of suicide
• White, male, over 65, living alone, residing in a rural
area of transient inner city zone
• Social isolation
• Depression
• Physical illness
• Alcohol use
• Failure to cope with stresses
• Loss of relationships
Suicide Among Native Americans
• Suicide rate is exceptionally high at 19.3
• Compare to white males at 19.9, African American
males at 9.1, white females at 4.8, and African
American females at 1.5
• Tribal differences in suicide rates are large and
also vary over time
• Alcohol is a major factor
• More at risk in youth than in old age
• Higher rate of impulsive suicide attempts and
completions
13. Other High Risk Groups
• Vietnam War Veterans
• Survivors of Natural or Man-Made Disasters
• People with HIV/AIDS
• Frequent and Addicted Gamblers
• Targets of Schoolyard Bullies and Peer
Harassment
• “Suicide by Cop” – confront a police officer to
force the officer to shoot in self-defense
Cultural Meanings of Suicide
• Suicide as Sinful
• Judeo-Christian tradition
• St. Augustine (5th century) objected because
• Doesn’t allow an opportunity to repent of other sins
• Sixth commandment: Thou shalt not kill
• St. Thomas Aquinas (13th century) added
• Only God has the power to grant life and death
• Controversy: Is martyrdom suicide? Did Jesus
commit suicide?
Cultural Meanings of Suicide
14. • Suicide as Criminal
• Most suicide laws have been erased
• Insurance companies will pay some death
benefits when suicide occurs
• Suicide as Weakness or Madness
• Highest rates among depressed psychotics
• Survival of the fittest (and the weak commit
suicide)
Cultural Meanings of Suicide
• Suicide as “The Great Death”
• Called daishi in Buddhism (China and Japan)
• Seppuku, traditional Japanese suicide, is
personal disembowelment with a sword
• Romans (classical period) viewed suicide as
noble and glorious
• Suicide as a Rational Alternative
• Often attributed to Stoicism
• Death is preferable to a miserable life
Durkheim: Four Types of Suicide
15. • Egoistic
• Not under sufficient cultural control
• Those whose talents or stations in life give them
special status (like celebrities or creative artists)
• Altruistic
• Exaggerated or excessive concern for the community
• Anomic
• Society as cast this person aside (like the homeless)
• Fatalistic
• Society is too controlling (suicide is the only way out)
Individual Meanings of Suicide
• Suicide for Reunion
• Suicide for Rest and Refuge
• Suicide for Revenge
• Suicide as Penalty for Failure
• Suicide as a Mistake
A Psychoanalytical Approach
to Suicide
• Early Freudian Approach: What looks like
suicide is a symbolic murder of another
16. person
• Later Freudian Approach: We have two
instinctual drives
• Life instinct, Eros
• Death instinct, Thanatos
Underlying Causes of Suicide:
The Biological View
• Family pedigree and twin studies support the
position that biological factors contribute to
suicidal behavior
o For example, there are higher rates of suicide among
the parents and close relatives of those who commit
suicide than among nonsuicidal people
• As always with this type of research, however,
nonbiological factors and interpretations must
also be considered
Underlying Causes of Suicide:
The Biological View
• Recent laboratory research has offered more
direct support for a biological model of suicide
o Serotonin levels have been found to be low in people
who commit suicide
17. • There is a known link between low serotonin and depression
o There is evidence, though, of low serotonin activity among
suicidal subjects with no history of depression
• Serotonin activity may contribute to aggressive behavior
The Descent Toward Suicide
• A loss and/or trauma that deprives the person
of emotional support
• Losing hope for a satisfying life
• Sense of descending, sinking, falling slowly
into a subhuman kind of existence
• Withdrawal and communication breakdown
increasingly isolates the individual
The Descent Toward Suicide
• Constructing a façade as protection against
further emotional pain
• Suicidal trance (restricted range of thoughts and
feelings)
• Feeling trapped in a tunnel and death is the only
way out
• An impression that death is somehow beckoning
18. the individual
• A precipitating event is likely to trigger the actual
suicide attempt
Popular Myths About Suicide
• Myth: A person who talks about suicide will not
actually take her own life
• Myth: Only a specific class of people commit
suicide
• Myth: Suicide has simple causes that are easily
established
• Myth: Asking people about suicide will put that
thought into their mind and encourage suicide
attempts
Popular Myths About Suicide
• Myth: Only depressed people commit suicide
• Myth: Only crazy or insane people commit suicide
• Myth: Suicidal tendencies are inherited
• Myth: When a suicidal person shows improvement,
the danger is over
• Myth: People who are under a physician’s care or
19. who are hospitalized are not suicide risks
• Myth: Suicide can be prevented only by a
psychiatrist or mental hospital
Suicide Prevention
• Take the suicidal concern seriously
• Do not issue a provocation to suicide
• Go easy on value judgments
• Do not get carried away by the “good
reasons” the person has for suicide
• Know what resources are available
• Listen
Three Emerging Challenges
• Do antidepressants help in prevention or add
to the risk of suicide?
• What are the best ways for a vulnerable
survivor of a suicide attempt to deal with the
aftermath?
• How does social media impact suicide?
