American Culture at Fremd

If I were a cultural anthropologist studying the American culture at Fremd, I would think that it is essential to have the latest phone, ipod, ipad, or computer to survive. Most teens in Fremd can't go one school day without checking their phone or listening to their ipods. I would think that Americans are cliquy and sometimes not accepting of other people. I would think America had pretty bad values because we rely too much on technology and don't accept all teenagers.

American Culture

I think Fremd is a good demonstration of our culture. It would show outsiders how much we care about technology and how much we rely on it. Also, an outsider would see how our cliques and social groups work. It may be a little over dramaticized because it is high school students but it is the general idea of how we function socially. overall, i think fremd is a good representation of our society and how we function within it.

American Culture

If I were to go through Fremd to discover what we value most in American culture, it would be easy. First I would say, without a doubt, that we are about electronics and fads. These may include anything from uggs to iPhones to even yoga pants. To add, we also seem we are more interested in our social lives than school at times. Fremd, in my mind, ilustrates our culture very well. No matter how we look at it, our culture is surrounded by trends.

Quarter 3, Week 6: American Culture

Imagine that you were a cultural anthropologist, and you have decided to study American culture by visiting Fremd High School every day for an entire school year.  If the only exposure you had to American culture was what you had at Fremd, what would you think?  What values would you think were central to American life?

intelligent design

Its kind of difficult to place intelligent design in a catagory with just science or religion. Its the middle of evolution and creationism. But its not entirely religious because it includes some belief of things evolving and changing overtime when creationism is solely based on God creating everything right then and there. I think it can be considered as science because it still has some form of evolution tied into it, and people do lots of research on it.

intelligent design

I don't think intelligent design should be considered a science because it is an idea. There is no evidence proving that we evolved from one single "intelligent" being. Evolution is backed up scientifically with fossils dating back to millions of years so it has proof that it is a science. I do believe though that everyone is entilted to their own beliefs and intelligent design may be what people choose to believe in and this shouldn't be prevented by any school. Intelligent design is simply an idea, while other theories are based on substantial facts. even though there is no right answer, all theories should be presented in schools.

Intelligent DESIGN

I don't think intelligent design is a science at all. It is based around a convoluted mutation of 3 parts Christianity (religion) and 2 parts theory taken from evolution. People try to pass it as science to force their religious beliefs on other people. But it is NOT science, and anyone who takes it as scientific fact is ignorant and a fool.
