Recommended: Culture and food connection

I visited to Bob Bullock History Museum in the weekend and learned about the history of texas. I started my tour in numerical order from the first floor all the way to the third floor. The first floor is titled “Our Global Kitchen, food, nature, culture” and it covered just that. It covered the food culture and the types of soil and plants. It also covered natives of the land planted prior to the existence of Texas and what they ate. It also showed the type of traditional texan food. They presented examples of native eating sets like wooden bowls and plates and modern ceramic plates and what the food culture would be like in the future. Before today I did not think much about the food I ate until I realised that now all the inhabitants of this

  • Is Texas America Molly Ivins Summary

    876 Words  | 2 Pages

    When we see Texas, we remember today mainly for its BBQ, Football and Black Gold, Texas tea. However, there is much more than just the usual itineraries that we find in most other states as well. Molly Ivins in her essay “Is Texas America” categorically states that, “Here's the deal on Texas. It's big. So big there's about five distinct and different places here, separated from one another geologically, topographically, botanically, ethnically, culturally and climatically” (Ivins). This is a true belief from Molly Ivins of how huge Texas was and how the demographics changed in each geographical location in Texas. The population of Texas and the demographics are two essential factors that include many important parameters in deciding the history of any state. The presence of many ethnic groups further adds to the diversification of

  • Barbara Kingsolver Called Home

    1391 Words  | 3 Pages

    In “Called Home”, the first chapter of the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year in Food Life, Barbara Kingsolver presents her concerns about America's lack of food knowledge, sustainable practices, and food culture. Kingsolver introduces her argument for the benefits of adopting a local food culture by using statistics, witty anecdotal evidence, and logic to appeal to a wide casual reading audience. Her friendly tone and trenchant criticism of America's current food practices combine to deliver a convincing argument that a food culture would improve conditions concerning health and sustainability. I agree with Kingsolver that knowing the origin of food is an important and healthy benefit of developing a true food culture, but it is impractical to maintain that everyone is able to buy more expensive food. Kingsolver presents a compelling argument for developing a food culture, however this lifestyle change may not be practical or even possible for a poverty-level citizen. The following essay will summarize and respond to Kingsolver’s argument to demonstrate how “Called Home” is a model for novice social scientists.

    I was told from a young age the easiest way to get in touch with your cultural heritage is through food. Many good memories and cultural traditions are passed down via food. Food is a way of connecting people to each other, bringing up good memories from the past. Food has a way of healing old wounds and making people happier. You have a sense of pride knowing you are connected to your culture through the use of food. However there are times when you question your cultural food choices, particularly if you haven’t grown up on certain dishes.

  • Individualistic and Traditionalistic Cultures in Texas

    1083 Words  | 3 Pages

    Texas is an intricate state with deep roots embedded in limited government authority. Almost all, Texans, favor the limited government between citizens and state. The two most important cultures in Texas are individualistic and traditionalistic culture. Individualistic views are summoned by limited government and that politics are the root of malicious acts, and is usually responded with negative reactions from the community. The individualistic cultures’ vision is egotistical for ones self-interest. The individualistic culture is viewed as priority in private independent business rather that those of the community as a whole. Unlike individualistic views, traditionalistic culture is motioned by conservatism. This cultures vision is supported by the common wealth of society’s privileged. Its beliefs are usually of distrust in its bureaucracy. Traditionalistic culture maintains an obligation to its family hierarchy. The traditionalistic subculture has a lower voting turn out rate compared to the opposition. These distinctive cultures were bestowed upon Texans in the 1800’s, when Texas was changing into a diverse and demographically society. Individualistic and traditionalistic cultures are the outline of ideology and certainty to the way Texas government is administrated. This has a huge impact on the way the Texas structures its government and why people support such a structure. And Texas is viewed as both subcultures.

  • Exploring European Art: A Visit to Norton Simon Museum

    575 Words  | 2 Pages

    The artwork that I chose was in the European Art: 17th-18th c. section in the Norton Simon Museum. On the right side of the painting there was the portrait of Madame de Cromot de Fougy artwork by Antonie Vestier, in 1786. This artwork was larger than Alcibiades on His Knees Before His Mistress painting. The largest of these three artworks was the one on the left side, which was the Portrait of Alexis Piron by Louis Tocque, in c.1737. The color of the walls was just white so the paintings can stand out to the audience’s eyes. The lighting of the galleries is one of the most important aspects that make the museums professional and successful. The lighting of the Norton Simon Museum was adequate. There was bright enough for the viewers to observe the

  • The Lowe Art Museum

    The Lowe Art Museum is located right off of the main entrance to the University of Miami on Stanford Drive. The museum had several visitors walking throughout on the day I visited, but as one gets away from the main lobby, the building becomes almost silent. The only conversation heard are whispers and the movement of the security guard through the rooms about every two minutes. The absence of sound allows one to fully take in the beauty of the artwork. Walking around the different galleries, I came upon the “Sheldon and Myrna Palley Gallery” which is host to European art. Unlike the other rooms which are just separated by an entrance through the wall, this gallery is enclosed by glass doors, and has a different feel then the rest of the Lowe Art Museum. The rooms is relatively dark as the small lights on the ceiling are pointing only on the walls at the paintings. The walls are painted a dark magenta color adding to the lack of light in the room. Immediately after entering this gallery though, a distinct scent hit me. The smell is hard to describe, but it is one of old wood and dust, possibly from the frames and paintings that date back to the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries.

    To my belief keeping the long view by Blight meant to keep in mind the struggle of the UGRR movement and people involved and never fall back in the shackles of racism. Learning and studying UGRR should mean keep in mind always the ethical and moral values and treat each other with equality and respect regardless of religion, race or color. The real lesson Blight wants us to understand by keeping long view is to be tolerant, open minded and ethical all thorough our lives.
