It was only recently, during a pot-luck dinner among international students at a university, that this writer realized there were so many ways (and implements for) to eat a meal.

If the diversity of the attendees was unclear at the start, it was definitely obvious when they started taking in their food and conversing with each other. This dinner represents a wider cultural truth. The particular food dishes, specific type of music, similar clothing ...

Education plays a principal role in all fields of social life. Whether one will be able to secure a reputable job, acquire wealth or gain some enviable social status depends on how educated they are (Alfie 1). As a matter of fact, educated people are held in high regard by the society. There is something about education, which brings an aspect of respect and some fear among the unlearned lot. A person that is not learned will not feel secure competing with the learned individual. The literate, as the learned people are known as and the illiterate are two different social classes. ...

As high school students, we were curious of a cell membrane could do this function. We, therefore, performed an experiment to test how a chicken eggshell membrane could allow some substances to pass through it while hinders the passage of some substances. We dissolved the eggshell in vinegar. After a thorough reading, the book by Turksen (143), we ...

While humanity has solved the problems of providing running water and electricity, the issues of morality remain sticky wickets for societies to figure out – and even for individuals to puzzle out on their own. While in many cases it might be easier, at least for the collective, for all individuals in a particular social group to share the same morals, just about every attempt at creating a morally homogenous society, at either end of the spectrum, has failed. Whether it was the Puritans (or the modern day Taliban) creating a theocracy and setting up a system of laws that govern every aspect of ...

Legacy is a reputation that is left behind by a person which is likely to affect his or her generation and those close.

According to Laborde, a learned anthropologist, “spoons are as old as the soup, if not as old as the world.” (Global housewares & specialties, 2007).

The spoon was a strong and important possession of individuals, and could be willed to another individual upon the death of the owner. History of Scandinavian countries and Wales depict that the spoon was used as symbols of love. The spoons would be curved by the young men, who ...
