Enthography Research Paper

I will be writing about the Jehova's Witness. They are particular religion that does not celebrate all sorts of holidays. The Jehovas Witness is a religion that does not believe in "blood transfusions" or in many other things in particular. They are people who are committed and devoted to their beliefs and respects to their religion.

Their beliefs can have them excluded in many ways in society, but they always seem to find a descent way out of problems, as long as they are able to bring it to the "Elders" a type off committee they have to discuss problems when they become difficult and they are able to give them advice and solve their problems.

You may find this "religion" or cult like some may call it very hard to abide by their rules, but in reality it is a religion that looks for Jehova "God" in their own peaceful and respectful way. They are humans just like you and me and they deserve respect just like any other religion we have here in this world we live in.

Fieldworking Ideas

Fieldwork reading has shown me the diversities in cultures and the different languages that are spoken. It has taught me the different behaviors and ritual groups there in different cultures. Understanding the different cultures has helped me respect the different expressions and rules that each culture has.

The purpose of the blog is to help you know more information on events that are happening all over the world and information on different celebrities and their personal life styles. Also we can speak out our own personal ideas and opinoins on any blogs that other people have written on any type of subject.

Fieldnotes help us have an overview of how to better organize our notes when it comes to writing a paper on any subject. It helps you organize all your information you have collected and put it into your paper. Fieldnotes create a better structure on how to prepare your essay or reasearch paper.

Another important point regarding published and unpublished sources. Plagiarism plays a big role in this source. We have to be careful on how we can avoid stating other peoples comments and ideas.

Internet is a very useful source on obtaining quick information at an easy cost. The source helps you surf on various useful topics you may need for research or on writing an essay.

Web Source to Surf on Web

Wikipedia is a handy source on the web to search for events that have happened or events that are current. Wikipedia can help u find research on a debate topic like for example prjudism. It defines new terms and introduces original ideas. It also can provide new definitions on any other topic you may be looking for. Also it analysis or synthesises on established facts, ideas, opinions or arguments.

Through Wikipedia we are able to find adequate and knowledgable information concerning argumental topics as well as finding out information on someone important in life. You can also add your own information to anything you might be reading and put your opinion. Just be careful on how u state your opinion.

The founder Jimmy Whales his resources were very reliable.

Unusual Language for the 20th Century

KLINGON!! I asked myself before reading this article just by the title what is a klingon? I started to read it and came about to know that it is a language that is spoken by very few people. Very few people can understand and speak the KLINGON language. It is a very hard language to learn, but I guess if you have that inspiration to learn it you can.

KLINGON comes alive in the television show Star Trek!



They are considered aliens in the show, very harsh and gruntle people but at the same time very loyal and honorable. Marc Okrand as mentioned in the article is a person who studied linguistics for many years, so I guess he just thought that learning "klingon" was another interesting language to learn. Okrand had the privilige to win an Oscar for the television show star Trek, you don't see many people winning awards for this kind of paper. He managed to do a dictionary on the "klingon" language and has helped many others to write poems, stories and write wedding vows.



Okrand quotes " Klingon is a type of puzzle that appeals to a type of person. It is difficult, but not impossible"

Elvira Arellano Dispute

http://www.iht.com/bin/print.php?id=7296579My opinion regarding the situation with Elvira Arellano an immigrant from Mexico City has all the United States very concerned on her situation. She not only violated her legal rights she demanded to stay here in the United States! What rights does she have on staying here, don't we think just like all other immigrants have the same rights as they are giving to her? If thats the case lets have them do the same and stay here with no legal papers! I am not trying to be harsh in this situation since I know she is doing all this to be with her child which is ok, but she is not doing it the right way. I'm just saying in my perspective she has to go by the right way in returning back to the U.S. With all the right documentation and the right keys so she won't have any future problems. I guess immigration felt bad in deporting being that she was in a church and it would look bad for the community.
