About Franz Boas



        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 since he was very influential in what is now known in Anthropology, addressing issues that are still applied in societies and destroying erroneous ideas that existed in his time.

Well, thank you very much for taking the time to read my blog and my posts. I really appreciate your attention and hopefully now encourage me to continue with my previous blog hahaha



Thanks and see you soon! <3 <3 <3

    I agree with you. The cultural relativism is so interesting, and Boas is his base

My animalssss

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!

My wonderful childhood.

Hello everybody!! !  Today I write about my childhood.  When I listen to songs by Silvio Rodríguez I remember when I was little and my dad every weekend mornings played his music on the computer.   From these moments I started to like the "Nueva Trova Cubana" and when I listen to it I always go back to those mornings where everything was simple and I didn't have big responsibilities, just playing and doing basic tasks. My first childhood memory is when be borned my brother. I remember that I slept in the house of my grandma and in the morning my dad was to wake me up in order to go to know to my brother! I was really excited because I'd have someone to play with. This is also my favorite childhood memory. Another memory that I love to evoke is when I learned to read. I told my parents that if they gave me the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" I would learn to read and write, because I loved that fantasy world. And so it was,...

The best vacations.

Hello everyone again! Today I will tell you about my best holidays :) My best holidays were this year 2018! In January I went to my grandmother's house, like every summer, which is located from San Gregorio to the mountain range. This is a small town where approximately 1,500 inhabitants live and where almost everyone is my family hahaha. I was two weeks, the first with my mother, brother, uncles and aunts,  cousins, grandmother and many more people in the family. We had a great time because we went to the pool every day, played cards, watched movies, ate delicious things all day and laughed a lot.  On the other hand, the second week, my mother, brother, grandmother and I, so we invited my boyfriend and a friend of my brother. That was how we had an amazing time! We did the same as with my cousins, because there were others of them and I had to take care of my little cousin who accompanied us on all sides and followed our ideas. These were my best v...
