So I'm done with this class (cultural anthro...). I must say I have a different outlook on life now. Though it was not what I expected. We touched on some very racist topics. Like pollution in black neighborhoods. And the degradation of an island call Nauru. Which was kind of OK. But I thought it would be on different cultures like Japan or something. Not what I expected at all.
If I did learn anything it was that the teacher rambles #1. She likes to talk about black people and Indian people #2. and #3 more and more people will complain about pollution only if it directly effects them or if they feel self-conscious or feel like they have to do good to better future society. It gets more in depth but Im pretty sure no one will read this so I will not post. If someone happens to read this I will post more on the Cultural Anthropology I learned and Women's Studies too... ;)
Good Night

Women's Studies and Cultural Anthropology (Bored @ 2:46 AM)
So its early morning and I am sitting here trying to be original but I guess I suck at it. So I'm just going to write anything. Just finished my Women's studies course and picked up Cultural Anthropology for no particular reason. Learned some interesting things so far.
Women have come a long way... If you're a woman you know what I'm talking about. Got a true sense of what its like to be a woman minus the period thingy. Not just American women but women across the world. I did not think any American woman would have something in common with a Indian or Arabic woman. We as American think that just because their different religious rights prevents them from feminist points of view. Women are basically treated the same in almost all cultures. What separates Americans from everyone else is are freedom of what ever acts and the fact through the course of history we as Americans (be it black, white, brown, purple, yellow...) will not tolerate oppression.
I do not want to ramble but I took up Cultural Anthropology soon after... I know nothing of this subject but the instructor is making seem like its an ecology/Native American history class. White man comes here (America) and destroys everything. Like the Michal Moore(sic) parody better. I'll write more on both subjects later I'm getting tired

Free Rice Stops World Hunger
I found this word game while using StumbleUpon. StumbleUpon is in no way associated with the U.N. or FreeRice.
Help curb world hunger and starvation by donating a grain of rice for each word you guess correctly (no strings attached do not have to sign up for anything). I know, I know, a grain of rice is not a whole lot. But... 1000 people a day guessing one word right is more than a bowl of rice. There are people playing this game across the world right now. No strings attached. Just guess one word right and you can quit but I will give you a warning... The game is very addictive. It will also increase your vocabulary. So use CAUTION!!!

Welcome To Independent Self
After a brief period of taking classes such as Women's Studies and Culture and the Environment, I have decided to rethink my blogging strategy. Its not to get bloggers to come in droves to read my blog. It will however serve as a journal for all Sociology, Psychology, and Cultural classes I take. I also plan to stick to my original Self-Help plan. But I want to become a little more original.

CATABOLIC FOODS
CATABOLIC FOODS
Catabolic foods burn up more calories than they supply. Catabolic foods are the opposite of Anabolic foods. For example a medium sized apple (which is catabolic), would provide an average of 85 calories, however your metabolism would require an additional 99 more calories to metabolize it. As a result, you burn calories (and hopefully fat!)
To help maintain your weight it would be helpful to eat a minimum of ten servings of catabolic foods each day. In addition to catabolic foods one can eat proteins and other carbohydrates in moderation without gaining weight.
The high grade catabolic foods are more effective than others. It is best to spread the consumption of your catabolics over the course of the whole day.
