Ethnography

At first I could barely project my voice for the entire hornline to hear, I was always self conscious and afraid of messing up. My public speaking skills were questionable at best and my fear of messing up in front of everyone made them even worse. Dealing with my eight person section(including myself) wasn’t as taxing but relaying instructions effectively was my biggest problem. Teaching new material as well as

I never sang too loud so if I messed up, no one would hear it .After every class I would go up to my Choir or band director with about five questions. But it simply was not enough. So my sophomore year I was given vocal lessons that taught me that I can match pitch consistently , and that my range was bigger than I ever thought it could be. I discovered a talent that I loved and I intended to perfect it .I performed in multiple cabarets and had the opportunity to sing with my choir at the Carnegie music hall. I was finally getting the swing of music; but that was not enough due to my obstinacy. I wanted to learn

I joined in as we yelled towards the stage, our words on repeat. 10 more minutes passed and the crowd sang lyrics to their song and I could hear my voice getting raspy, which I liked. I liked that there was a story behind why I wouldn’t be talking the next day, and how I wouldn’t be able to tell that story until I got my voice back.

Anthropology is defined, in the most basic terms, as the study of other cultures. This field can subsequently be divided into more specific sects, and contain more precise defining characteristics, but this definition is essentially all that is needed. Anthropology is a science that attempts to look at other cultures and draw conclusions to questions that are raised while studying. An anthropologist is someone who accepts what is presented before them and is driven by an urge to understand each presentation as thoroughly as possible. Once the concept of anthropology is accepted, one must identify the means of reaching the goal of this field. In the sect of social anthropology, this vehicle is known as

For example, students were asked to sing a glissando up and down the scale, intone “Ah” for as long as possible, practice diaphragmatic breathing, and other vocal exercises (see Appendix B for an example of directed exercises). Although students were initially reluctant to use their voices, the justification for these activities was that the clinician must demonstrate a procedure or task for the client so that the client understands what is required. If the clinician is tentative in using his or her voice or if the clinician’s model is flawed, the client will also behave tentatively and the output will be equally flawed. Practice produced proficiency so that students were able to provide an efficient model for the voice client. Moreover, students were counseled to learn to love their voices. This was necessary because an informal survey on session one of the class revealed that every student, without exception, did not like the sound of their voice. To be a potential voice specialist, students needed to be unashamed of their voices and to behave as if they were performance artists. This appeared to have a positive effect on their voice use in class and in the clinical settings. Many students reported that they were more comfortable working with voice

I originally signed up for this class to improve my voice and diction. My initial expectation was that I would develop techniques to control my volume my speed and pitch. I strongly believed that this class would prepare me for the various aspects of performing on stage expressly in front of a large audience. This class has by far met all my expectations. Though there were many challenges I overcame each obstacle with perseverance and consistency. I am more confident on stage and no longer thinks that my voice is one of the most dreadful things that I have ever had the unfortunate pleasure of hearing. This new confidence translated into better use of my body to speak to the audience.

The caretaker first noticed that something was when her mother was cooking but continue to leave out ingredients in the food. The mother also would start rumors about the people in the neighborhood and family members. On one incident is when the mother lost her purse and blamed in on her grandson saying he stole her purse. She had everybody thinking he stole her purse and also tried to stab him with a knife when along the purse was at the church. In another incident the caretaker stated “mother say her daughter child’s father was sleeping with her cousin”.

My major is Information Systems. When I first found out that I had to take another 100-level class, as a senior about to graduate, I was beyond a little upset. I then found out it was an art history class and it made it even worse. How am I ever going to use being able to distinguish between two paintings in my career? It might come in handy as a party trick. But fast forward six weeks into the class and I think I finally understand the relationship. We are learning and practicing to spot details, patterns, symbols, and visually compare works of art. Working with data requires me to do the same. Training the brain to observe and interpret those patterns, as well as being able to describe those patterns, is very important in my intended

In a four part video, Ms. Fleming uses a variety of techniques to help students improve and understand their voices.

The dominant reason I initiated the process was to free up the unconscious repressions I believed or had convinced myself were holding my voice back. I was essentially a singer but suffering from oppression of the vocal chords and I am being sarcastic, though at the time I was being serious. Having attempted private and group singing classes without success, the next step was therapy.

Ritual cannibalism – is always in ritual context, consumption of brains, not done out of hunger, and Chou Kou Tien Cave which includes fire, expanded Foramen Magnum, and marrow from long bones.

After watching the video I realized how much of an impact English speakers have on an English dictionary. I enjoyed the video and I think that the speaker explained her information about adding words to the dictionary well. I try to restrict my acronyms and slang usage unless I’m talking to people who understand them seeing as they are not in the dictionary. I was taught that whatever is in the dictionary are the only words that I should use. I’m sure I heard a teacher say once (or more) that “you cannot make up words” or “that’s not a real word.” In my opinion, I think that language does not still work that way. I don’t think that it still works that way since people make up words (or change the meaning of them) all the time. I especially

By focusing on teaching process rather than its outcomes, this ethnographic case study represented a conceptual change in research approach to teaching speaking. This study also provided new insights into the behavioral and psychological dimensions of teaching speaking. As a result, such ethnographic studies can provide realistic accounts of what occurs while teachers are involved in teaching speaking.

This paper will carry out an ethnography research on Springfield Gardens. Springfield Gardens is a community that is populated by mostly minorities. The community is located in southeast Jamaica. There is a huge Caribbean influence in the community. Springfield Gardens is a working class community with a few social issues. The social issue that is examined in this paper is the unlawful marijuana arrest of young minority residents in this community. How the issue was handled is also presented in the paper. The paper will also examine the; location, history, demographics, housing, cost of living, political issues, social issues, economical issues, human services, healthcare facilities, education, spiritual institutions, recreational commerce

I was born into a family with two theistic religions. My father’s side was Catholic, while my mother’s side was Buddhist. Neither side was devoutly religious or pious, so they didn’t force their religions onto me. However, I did go to churches, temples, and bible studies a lot. Not because my parents or family members forced me to, but because I was a curious child and I liked being exposed to new knowledge and different things.
