There were several changes that occurred as a result of the September 11, 2001, bombing of the Twin Towers in The States. An Anthropologist would analyze these changes based on how humanity was affected, culturally and from a global perspective. For example, many people’s overall view of Islam has changed as a result of the crash. Many Muslims were eventually judged based on their cultural background. Look at it this way – would an Iranian man or woman living in America (specifically) still be looked at the same way he or she was after the crash? Probably not. When that Iranian man travels back to his country, he will be suspected and questioned a lot more then a European person going back to his country would. People who have never met that Iranian man may look at his more suspiciously. Before September 11, 2001, the word “terrorist” was rarely used to describe someone from an Islamic background.

I just shaved off my beard, but not my mustache,
after 40 years!

My wife doesn't recognize me anymore
and she is in fits and in stitches for two days now!

So I'm greatly interested in the reactions you've got.

And ladies.....there's no need for you to answer. I understand...

Human civilization has, more or less, evolved from tribal-state to city-state to nation-state over the last 10,000 years or so. It would seem that the next logical step is world-state. What new challenges would such a govenment face? What would be the benefits and drawbacks?

I am curious as to whether anyone here as studied this idea before, and if there are any philosophical or anthropological works available on the subject.

Hi,

While I am trying to find information for racial differences in genes for curiosity and knowledge, this is not, in any way, for the purpose of "racial" differences as some people might think that it could be take as "racism."
I have searched online but only a few groups are listed differences mainly: African-American, European-Americans and Chinese-Americans.

Also I know that certain diseases are inherited through your genes it'd interested to know if there is traits in your genes that give you bad sight since you are born or bad skin or the opposite.

Some people I have talked to, for example, have said that while they always suffered from something in their bodies other parts seen so perfecte they have never had problems with them. In my opinion, I consider that every single body in this planet has its flaws organically as well as its perfection in others. What do you think? Check if you have suffered from something since you were born and you always thought it was natural

It seems to me that we should be classified as Species and Sub-Species instead of "Races". I think there would be less Social ills if Humans were identified separately as classified as Sub-Species instead of races and less Social problems and friction would take place.

There is obvious physical differences in Homo Sapiens, and just as I know Whites are referred as Caucazoids, and such,......it seems that so called racial problems or "racism" would be better understood if viewed from a Scientific view-point instead of a Social or Cultural view. Racism seems to be a natural occurring predisposition that takes place under the guise of Sub-Species conflicts and competition. Because we are social creatures, I still think nature precludes racism

Just as Red Ants and Black Ants naturally are enemies, it obviously isn't because they are acting as thinking animals with hate of color, but, there are specific differences between them, and their warring between each other is understood.

Films like the Demon Seed, the Terminator series of films, I Robot, or even going back as far as Forbidden Planet, which is slightly different but along the same lines, do they show that evolution is not so much about 'caring and sharing' at any level of the food chain. but more about surpassing that which has gone before, by eliminating that which is weaker than that which evolves after it.

If you want to be a good person - doesn't that tend to leave you vulnerable.

If you want to be an evil person - doesn't that tend to make OTHERS vulnerable to you.

Like the various sci fi films I have mentioned depict - if we make machines that eventually surpass our own intelligence, isn't that parallel to the dinosaurs versus the mammels?

'Might is right' - is that the bottom line in life - or do we have the power to overcome this mechanism in nature, which seems that it is inevitable that it will threaten our future as a species - ironically in our case by our own hands?

do marketers shape or reflect culture (the accumulation of shared meanings, rituals, norms, and traditions among the members of an organized society)?
