pointed at the crudely made signs around the room. “Asi, Mely.” She said as she spread a corn husk on her left palm so that the widest part met her wrist. “Y asi” she scooped some masa with a spoon held in her right hand and ladled it with an exaggerated plop on the corn husk. “Y asi” – She skillfully spreads the masa with spoon onto the corn husk.

excuse to stop in Zwolle for some tamales. What are tamales? My definition of tamales are pockets of corn meal stuffed with pork and seasonings created by Jesus for me and you!

Observation has concluded that participants in tradition “actively construct as well as reflect culture and community” (Sacks 275). For most people in the 21st century, tradition only reveals itself during special times or certain seasons. For others it is simply a way of life.

Case Study #1 Since the development of anti-retroviral therapy (ART) in the 1990s, HIV/AIDs has evolved from a death sentence into a treatable disease. It has presented a unique global health problem because while the treatments were very effective, they were extremely expensive, required advanced laboratory monitoring, were prescribed indefinitely, and required excellent patient compliance. In many of the developing countries devastated by AIDs/HIV, the health and societal infrastructures often
In Dick’s novel We Can Build You, many of his characters were afflicted with mental illnesses or severe emotional conflicts. The novel told the story of a small business called MASA Associates that was owned by Louis Rosen and Maury Rock. They initially sold spinets and mood organs, however, in an attempt to make more money, they developed two simulacra: one of Edwin M. Stanton and one of Abraham Lincoln. The simulacra were designed by a girl named Priscilla Frauenzimmer, the daughter of Maury Rock
the media.

Germany Year Zero is a post war movie directed by Roberto Rossellini, filmed in Berlin (1948), which focuses on conveying the reality of Germany after the war through the life of a young boy. Closely Observed Trains, directed by Jiri Menzel (1966), is based on the novel written by Bohumil Hrabal and illustrates the coming of age of a young boy to a man. While both movies illustrate different aspects of life they also interlink in key aspects such as both boys succumbing to becoming men, one due to
BEHIND HER CLOSED EYES, Lorelei was wide awake. She was afraid to open her eyes. And rightly so. She was afraid that if she opened her eyes and Jared realized that she wasn’t hurt, he’d leave. She was feeling no pain anywhere in her body and the child within was as lively as he’d been before her fall down the steps. She lay quietly and without so much as a twitch listening to May-bell and Jared’s concerned voices. It warmed her heart to hear the concern in Jared’s voice. He seemed genuinely
my family, the production of tamales is an intensive assembly-line-esque task. One person lays down the boiled corn husks and spreads on a layer of thick masa. This is passed on to the next person, who applies the filling. Half of them are red chili and pork, while the other half are green chili and cheese, all residing in a neat sun on the masa. The husk is then shuffled over to the most important person of them all; the olive-placer. They perform an arduous task that most mortals are incapable of

the interest of the audience for his “maka-masa” theme. The second proof is pathos which is the appeal to emotion. Estrada showed that he understands the feeling of the audience who are the Filipino citizens. He knew that most of the Filipino are experiencing poverty and are hoping for prosperity.

He evokes the feeling of friendliness that
After being traumatized from the Raiders gathering at the beach I decided to go to a farmers market that is held every weekend in my city. I was actually disappointed in the selection that was available and the lack of vendors that had arrived at the Alhambra Farmers Market. Since the farmers market was so small and really empty I struggled to see how it could communicate an identity as a whole, but I do believe that individual vendors were better able to communicate an identity. Many of the vendors
menu for every Mexican household during the holidays. Both my parents migrated to the US from Mexico, but they did not leave their traditions as we still make tamales every Christmas. It is a process that usually takes the whole day as we prepare the masa, meat, and cut the vegetables (potatoes, carrots, and jalapenos) in the mornings, then put together the tamale, and later put them all in that giant pot until it is finally cooked and ready to eat usually until dinner.

College is an institution where students from various walks of life come to study for degree. However, for most students it’s a new chapter in their lives as they have to leave the comfort of home. Homesickness is a common issue among college students, particularly international students. Being an international student myself, I have experienced such phenomena.

La Cultura y la Mercancía RESUMEN: Adorno and Horkheimer adopted the notion of the fetishism of commodities for the analysis of art and culture. Material, physical goods are not identical with symbolic ones. In spite of being predominant, the culture industry cannot be taken as the prototype for all analyses of culture. One cannot reduce all cultural products in the market economy to market products. The plurality of artistic and cultural practices found in countries such as Brazil calls into
