In the article “TV Star’s Plastic-Surgery Disaster Tests Brazil” published Abstract, authors AP talks about how careful you want to be when you have plastic surgery done to you.  A single mom named Andressa Urach who’s nicknamed is Beanpole. Her surgery she had was a complete disaster, she had implants was on steroids had a nose job and was on gel injections. She said there is a bunch of other ugly women, if you have the money you can be beautiful too. The 27 year old went into septic shock and got placed on life support. Her wounds were still fresh and she started to bleed through their clothing. Latter on into the article she finds out that the doctor she had did not have a plastic surgery degree and that’s why her surgery is an utterly disaster. She started to have infections and was in the hospital for six months. Urach said “no one tells you about the problem it causes you only the good things”. She agrees she has made a mistake.  As long as you’re happy and healthy you are fine the way you are.

Article
 
When I got done reading this article I wanted to know what she looked like and how bad it was. I looked up Andressa Urach and the first thing that popped up was her infections on how bad it really was. I know people want surgery to look better but is it really a Need or a Want, because it’s probably like 10k or more. I didn’t know it could lead to people not liking there surgery’s and just moving on with your life. Once I found out that someone faked being a surgeon I was like really? What do you get out of that screwing up someone’s life to just to make it funny and then have the police start coming after you, yeah that’s a good joke. The police still have no idea who it is but they will figure it out soon enough. Let me know what you guys think if I should add something in this article or take out anything. Leave me a comment below, thanks for reading!

In the article “Body Painting” published Photographic Society of America, author Ayman Lofty it talks about what started body painting on how it symbols who someone is or what a picture means to anyone. Instead of having a photo they would just draw on them self’s or a wall. Then didn’t have a pencil or an eraser back in the day when they were building pyramids it was a sign of creativity. They would also use paint for creativity, living styles, and behaviors. No matter whom someone is and if they don’t speak the same language everyone will and should understand what the painting and drawing is because you don’t need to read a picture just look at it and most people will understand. A painting or symbol represents of body art has meaning to that individual.
Article
 
I thought this article was alright. It didn’t say much about piercings like what that meant to someone. But I think whether body paint is on your leg, arm, chest, and stomach. You have it on there for a reason it can be any reason. I kind of figured that they would draw on the walls and on them self. When you think about it, it wouldn’t make much sense to have it on the ground when people are walking all over and I would be a mess. If its paint on you self you can wash it off no big deal. But if its ink then that is there for life, unless you have it surgery to remove it but that can be spendy and a lot of pain.

 In the article “Borneo reaping the fruits of ecotourism” published by UNESCO Courier, author Robert Basiuk talks about how the Iban people rely on the rich and tourism for their survival. It takes place in Malaysian in the state of Sarawak. They have too good of resources to relies on they can only kill certain animals and cut down various trees. Without the tourism it would be hard to be making jobs and to have money. The village involved the tourism is a big benefit of their wildlife. They now have a study alternative and stocks have now been stabilized. In the year of 1999 over 20 families have received $82,000 in tourism pay. They have now added cooks boat drivers markets. They make a lot of money each year and they want to put the money towards more habitats for wildlife. They get over 1,000 people every year. It is now turning into a National Park. They say it’s not Jurassic Park

 When I started to read this article I thought it wasn’t going to be so good. Letter as I started to read more and more I said this has got to be a fun place to visit! I thought it was really cool how they weren’t doing so well to this; I was like blown away how well they have been success. The only part I didn’t like about this was how they were living. They would have mud slides so they had their house up high. I was thinking couldn’t you just build a wall to stop the mud slide.  I like how they said at the end this is not Jurassic Park. Otherwise that would have been really cool. Over all I would recommend this article to anyone let me know how you feel or have any questions.

In the article “Destroying a Culture” Artical Cricket Media, Authors Bickford-Duane, Pauline describes how the United States government took nearly 100 years trying to figure out a way the Native Americans policy, to work out in the west. Once the government signing the treaties the Native American could no longer move freely threw out the land.  When the United States took over there land they wanted them to live like Americans. Children started to attend boarding schools to make them live in American society. The school administrator assigned the kids new names. They couldn’t speak their language or practicing their native traditions or even celebrating. They wanted to have those kids drop there culture and join the American culture.  In June 1934 the Native Americans reclaimed 2 million acres of land. They wanted to start a native group so they could receive money and for their land and education. So they could now take their children out of boarding schools.
When I read this article I didn’t really understand why they couldn’t trade to get land, not to take it away from people. What I thought was interesting was when the Americans to give the children new names. Like what?! Why wouldn’t you just have left their names as is? I must have been bad if I told the teacher I’m not changing my name. They don’t have that power over me unlike them did back in the days. I’m not sure if I could drop my language and culture to be more like something else when I’m not. If I was put in a boarding school back then I probably would have been hurt a lot but I would fight back and not do what they said just run away from school.

In the article “Law Enforcement Officers in Schools: An Analysis of Ethical Issues”   In the source Criminal Justice Ethics, Joseph McKenna and Joycelyn Pollock explains:


Article
When I read the article it talked about how we have tragic events happen on our Nations of violence on school grounds. They now have Police officers in schools to prevent violence to happen. The officers also play a big part in student discipline. The officer socialization and training that is part of a role in the officer’s duty to mentor students. They want to present some suggestions on how the officer may conflict and their experience of law Enforcement. About the officers working in schools.


            I thought this article was interesting since I’m interested in Law Enforcement. But it was a little short.  I did know we have officers at High School and College. I just didn’t know we could or will have them at Elementary and Middle schools. I wouldn’t be surprise about any officers at school since there has been a lot of crime all over. When I was at a senior in high school. During lunch there was a big fight and the teachers ran over to stop it so they called the officer that was in my school and he dropped one of the guys to the ground. So I believe if there are not any officers at any High School it could get really bad. Let me know if I made you understand what was going on. If you have any questions wright they in the comment below and I will be sure to get back to them!

Haircut or Turbans?


In the article “ Haircuts or Turbans?”   In the New York Times, By Amelia Gentleman explains:

Jugraj Is a boy who had long hair growing up and part of their culture you had to wear this turban. He said he doesn’t like it on him. It would keep getting in the way of things and said “I feel smarter without it”. They have a rule, that they prohibited their members from cutting their hair because it’s supposed to be a symbol of Sikh pride. He was one who wanted to stand out and not look like everyone else.  Globalizations had a big impact on them. When September 11, 2001 happened they get mistaken for Taliban’s and harassed by the airport security guards. They then now want men to cut their own hair and to not have mom do it for them.


What I thought about reading this article was that it was very interesting to see what other cultures did around the world I did not know anything about Turbans tell now. If I was living over where they were born and raised and I had to wear a turban. I would but if I had to keep long hair and that on me I would probably get hot and would definitely cut my hair even though I would probably get looked at weird. Because no one cuts their hair, where there from. I do get that people at the airport would think there a Taliban because they wear those turban head wear thing too. Most people just assume what you are when they have never met you or don’t know anything about you.
