Hello! This is the last post I will upload, because the course ends and there is no more to do u.u Today I will talk about Franz Boas, who was born in Minden, Westphalia on July 9, 1858, and died in New York on December 21, 1942. He studied at the University of Heildelberg and received his doctorate at the University of Kiel in 1881. In 1899 He was appointed professor at Columbia University. Franz Boas is known for his work studying the Kwakiutl Indians in northern Vancouver (Canada), which allowed him to establish a new concept of culture and race, as well as one of the most influential anthropological currents: cultural relativism. In addition, Boas was one of the most prominent opponents of the ideas of scientific racism, very popular at that time, who defended race as a biological concept and claimed that human behavior was explicable through the typology of biological characteristics. I like this anthropologist sin...
Hi again! Today I will write about of animals! I have ten animals in my house, five cats, three birds, one hamster and a puppy. My house isn't big, but the space is enough for my family and my animals. I think that if didn't exist mys pets, my life didn't be equal. Luna, my baby, without her my life would be completely different. I love her to infinity. With relation to the animals in zoológicos I think that not is correct that they spend their lives in captivity, they should be free. Nor do I think that the coats should be made of furs, they aren't born for that, they are born to be free and not to be exploited by us to satisfy the whims of people without brains. If I could be an animal, I would choose to be a wolf, because their are very loyal, protect their family against any danger and I really like that animal. As always, thanks for reading!
