... My skin controls me. It contains and constrains me, protects and projects me. It is a living coat spread out all over me without beginning or end. Seamless. Only through it can I feel and process the world. And it is through this coating that the world sees me. It is the screen on which social messages are displayed, thoughts are reflected. My skin controls me: dictating much of what I do. I guzzle water and nibble on nuts apply potions and lotions, don helmets and hats: All at the behest of my skin. Drinking too much, sleeping too little, lying too long in the sun and I am compelled to feel guilty. Connor says ‘the skin is not a part of the body’ (Connor 2002, 4) and indeed, my skin is like a domineering despot. It petulantly exposes my neglect by painting dark circles under my eyes, smudging the glow and scattering blemishes. It is the reflection of my soul, separate but inseparable from myself - my ‘body’s twin’ (Connor 2002, 5). It is this ‘twin’ (Connor 2002, 5) or my ‘immaterial, ideal, ecstatic’ (Connor 2002. 5) imagining of my skin that constitutes what Cooley described as a ‘looking glass self’. (described by Coser 1997) This concept states that ‘an individual’s self-conception result(s) from assimilating the judgments of their significant others’ (discussed by Mikala, 2012). What we see in this mirror is not our carefully considered actions and the complex thought process that leads us to take them; We only see this ‘shadow’ (Connor 2002, 5) which becomes...

...Onion Skin Cell Lab Purpose: To determine the effect of water and saltwater environment on an onion skin cell. Materials: * Eye dropper * Microscope * Onion Skin Cell * Slide * Cover Slip * Iodine * Salt * Water Procedure: Part 1: 1) Attain an onion skin cell sample which has been soaking in tap water from your science teacher. 2) Prepare a wet-mount slide for the onion skin cell directed by your teacher. 3) Add iodine to the onion and place a cover slip on top of the onion. 4) Observe the slide under all magnifications and sketch Proper Biological Diagrams for each power. (4x, 10x, 40x) Part 2: 1) Repeat the same lab procedure as you did with soaking onion skin cells in tap water last day, but now using the onion and soaking it into saltwater. 2) Prepare a wet-mount slide for the onion skin cell done by your teacher. 3) Add iodine to the onion and place a cover slip on top of the onion. 4) Examine the slide under all magnifications and sketch Proper Biological Diagrams for each power. (4x, 10x, 40x) Hypothesis: If tap water is added to the onion skin cells then the water will absorb and swell up because, osmosis is occurred and it becomes completely inflated. If saltwater is added to the onion skin cells then the cells would wrinkle up and probably shrink because, once the onion is placed in salt solution, it will dehydrate since it’s hypertonic.

Nakano argues that skin whitening work in more social, economical, and human capital spectrums ways to make dark skinned women use it to establish themselves in society as entities. They try to validate themselves by changing who they are because of society’s view of their skin as negative, rather positive. Glen says, “Light skin operates as a form of symbolic capital, one that is especially critical for women because of the connection between skin tone attractiveness and desirability.” There are three forms of capitals: 1. Symbolic Capital – Woman who did skin bleaching to obtain opportunity based on their visual appearance. For her, having light skin gives her an honor, recognition and “white privilege” (in some cases) to hold valuable position within her society. In different ways, the controlling image leads her consumerism of white bleaching products to pursue status she needs in order to be considered “valuable.” (Forrest, Anne, “Race, Culture and Social Justice”, University of Windsor, Nov. 5, 2013) 2. Capital – Skin-whitening product are transformed into prize, where woman can use it, to win the attention of opposite sex. Even though it is a physical object, the skin-whitening product works as an asset for woman who wishes to use it, even though such product might transmit to her...

...brow. Because it removes hair by the follicle, it is a reasonably long lasting hair removal technique as well. Repeat visits after three to four weeks are standard. The technique is also not terribly expensive because it is easy to do quickly and does not require costly chemical ingredients. For women who would like to pursue a more natural beauty regimen, eyebrow threading is a good choice, since it does not use harmful products. Eyebrow threading is a preferred hair removal technique for a number of reasons. Unlike tweezing or plucking, eyebrow threading removes one clean line of hair all at once, making it much quicker and easier to shape the brows. Eyebrow threading also will not harm the skin like wax and some depilatory creams can. If done correctly, the skin should not be red or irritated for more than a few minutes after the eyebrow threading session. Some aestheticians also find it easier to...

...AP1 Fall 2014 Final Exam Take Home – Due at 5 pm on October 29th. • 1. Homeostasis is an important theme in studying the human body. Discuss homeostatic processes in each of the organ systems we covered this semester. Be sure to include discussion of negative feedback, set points, receptors and effectors. (7 points each) 2. Homeostasis- The tendency of a living body to maintain relatively stable internal conditions in spite of greater changes in its external environment. (Saladin, 2015) a. Integumentary System – Homeostasis is critical for our body function, in order to stay in homeostasis the body goes through a process called negative feedback. Negative feedback mechanism in the integumentary system goes through 4 steps in order to maintain homeostasis; 1. There is a stimulus or change in the body. Example. Change in the body temperature. a. If the body is too cold it will trigger shivering to warm your body. b. If your body is too hot it will trigger sweating to release heat. 2. The sensor or receptor (sensory neuron) detects change in your body. 3. The control center (brain) sends out signals and messages to the effector. 4. The effector (muscle or gland) is in charge of restoring the body back to homeostasis. (Saladin, 2015) The body must regulate its own body temperature. Our normal set point is 98.6.When we are overheating our body responds in numerous ways in an effort to cool itself, such as sweating. Alternatively, if our body temperature...

Vitamin A is found in fruits and veggies-so load up. * Vitamin K helps reduce dark circles under eyes, as well as bruises. Vitamin K is hidden away in leafy green vegetables, dairy products, and meats such as pork and liver. 2. 2 Loads of fruits and veggies, nuts, rice and eggs will help your skin.
