Jeremiah Arce Professor Rachel Lipscomb Comp 2 6/8/2026 The Final Match: Gold Medal Round Referee Winner… Red!! The anxious couple of minutes, waiting for the results with my arm being held by the ref. My mind was moving like the Daytona 500 and I felt like I was going to be sick. But relief shoots over me as I hear my parents scream, “Let’s go Poppa!!” “Yeah Jay!!”.  Red I prepared for this for months. Day in and day out. Constant mental and physical preparation. Hours on the punching bag and conditioning my body to perform the best of my ability. I was working so hard to the point where…

Article 149 helped factory workers fight for democracy and this resulted in unions being formed to strengthen work production without a hierarchy. This was a stepping stone workers having power over their hours and how they operate. This was in Venezuela at the time under President Chavez. Craziest thing about it is that there are unions formed all around the world and it stems from the idea that workers want to have some sort of power instead of being controlled and forced to work for profit.

After watching the “How to survive a Plague” documentary I ran into a sign about AIDS on the train while traveling back home from class. It reminded me of how much people with AIDS had to go through just to not die. It wasn’t just the matter of being seen, but it was being heard and considered. It’s inhuman like to dismiss people’s struggles and throw them to the side.

People’s Park gave me a weird feeling. It felt like I was intruding someone’s space because of the point of view the film is shot through. A lot of people turned to look to see what the camera was for because they felt uncomfortable in some sort of way.

I think the idea of a map where you can describe the history behind how it came to be is great. You can even state why it is significant to you. I used Jackie Robinson Park as my example. I played for a basketball team associated with the rec center within the park and had lots of fun memories. Most of my time at the park was in middle school. I remember a specific memory when me and my teammates were on our way to a basketball game in 7th grade right before the world wide lock down. Lil Uzi Vert had released “Eternal Atake” which was, in my opinion,…

I think that the idea of ethnography gets misconstrued a lot with the study of anthropology. Ethnography gives you more of a chance to bond and gain a different experience whether it is cultural, religious or communal. Anthropology in my eyes and from what has been explained to me is just invading a certain group of people and observing from an outside perspective. All of this is done just to come to an assumption about those groups of people. One is more ideal and ethical than the other and I found that as the clear difference.
