Dalam artikel yang berisikan mengenai wawancara seorang jurnalis dengan seorang profesor antropologi David Graeber, salah satu poin yang cukup menarik bagi saya adalah statement David Graeber mengenai penemuan beliau terhadap fungsi uang.
Filosofi uang yang selama ini merupakan alat tukar yang ternyata sudah muncul sejak zaman dahulu merupakan konsep yang menarik. Namun apa yang ditemukan oleh David Graeber memberikan perspektif baru bagi saya. Konsep barter yang muncul sejak 3200 BC yang memunculkan debtor and creditor ternyata disikapi berbeda oleh Graeber. Jika Adam Smith sebagai Bapak Ekonomi menanggapi hal tersebut sebagai suatu awal dari kehidupan ekonomi du muka bumi ini, David Graeber sendiri menjelaskan bahwa konsep uang ternyata memberikan dampak buruh bagi kehidupan sosial. Dampak buruk ini memberikan efek domino bagi setiap lini kehidupan sosial dan ini lah yang dijadikan oleh David Graeber sebagai focus perhatiannya.
Timbulnya peran debtor dan creditor yang memberikan dampak buruk disikapi dengan sangat baik oleh David Graeber. Saya setuju dengan pendapat beliau bahwa konsep debt tidak hanya berkaitan dengan konsep ekonomi saja, melainkan berkaitan langsung dengan konsep moral. Uang sebagai alat tukar menjadi salah satu medium yang berkaitan dengan konsep debt itu sendiri. Sejarah mencatat bahwa di Abad Pertengahan, alat tukar yang paling diterima saat itu adalah budak wanita sebelum berganti menjadi uang. Sialnya ketika berganti uang justru timbul peperangan karena hampir semua kalangan menjadikan uang sebagai barang yang harus dimiliki sehingga setiap orang rela melakukan apapun untuk mendapatkannya. Inilah mengapa konsep debt dan uang sangat berkaitan erat dan memiliki bukti berdampak buruk bagi kehidupan sosial.
Ketika ditanya mengenai adanya perubahan perilaku masyarakat saat ini, adanya perubahan penggunaan mata uang digital, saya cukup tertarik mengenai pendapat beliau mengenai perubahan yang terjadi saat ini. David Graeber mengatakan perubahan yang sangat cepat memungkinkan adanya suatu perubahan pada komoditas uang, tetapi ia menitikberatkan kepada hal buruk yang mungkin terjadi di masa transisi tersebut.
David Graeber juga memberikan pendapatnya mengenai peran IMF dan S&P dalam ekonomi dunia termasuk memberikan pendapatnya terkait money and debt
Secara garis besar, apa yang disampaikan oleh David Graeber memberikan perspektif yang menarik mengenai uang dan utang, namun perlu sebuah bukti empiris dan solusi dari apa yang disampaikan agar pemikirannya memberikan dampak positif langsung kepada lingkungan sosial.

...Currently, I approach weekly course reading material in a fairly unconventional way. My weekdays are usually incredibly hectic between my job of working with my clients and my day to day personal life with my children, so finding any quality reading time is hard during the day time hours. I generally have all reading material downloaded to my laptop in advance as we all should so I can get in a bit of reading time during my break time and my clients nap time. The problem with this is, even though it is quiet and my break time, there is still quite a bit of activity going on around me having to deal with small odds and ends, breaking any concentration I have and understanding of the text. I do get a small amount of time in peace when I get home and right before the kids get home after school in which I use to get in some reading and study time. This time is definitely quality time as my concentration is at its greatest and I can get something done. The night hours, usually after dinner, is where things have been really difficult as this is the time where the bulk of my study and reading time is. Thankfully my fiancée has begun to rectify this problem for me (when he is home from work himself) by keeping the kids busy with various things and away from me during this time so I can actually get quite a bit done in peace and...

Social Marketing Anorexia

...Social Marketing – Anti-Anorexia Campaign (Italy) X444 Background While there has been much attention focused on the obesity problem in the developed world, another serious health issue is anorexia nervosa. There is tremendous pressure in the developed world for women to be extremely thin. The current ideal female body is impossible to achieve for the majority of women and is markedly different from the classical ideal dating back to the Greeks and even as recently as the 1950s and 1960s. By today’s standards, Marilyn Monroe and Raquel Welch would be considered “fat.” Venus de Milo Ancient Greece Marilyn Monroe 1950s Raquel Welch 1960s Keira Knightley 2000s While obesity is certainly unhealthy, the social pressure for women to be extremely thin is also unhealthy. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD) (2007), in the U.S. 7 million women and 1 million men suffer from eating disorder mental illness. Lauter (2008) quoted Marleen S.

Japanese Anthropology

...Prof. Bodoh-Creed Anth 338 – Section 1 February 27, 2012 On an ordinary Saturday afternoon, my sister and I made our way to 1st St. and Central Ave. from a failed attempt at another left-to-be-unnamed cultural epicenter, which was a very disappointing trip. Little Tokyo proved to be quite the opposite, as I was able to ascertain a much deeper understanding of the Japanese culture because of it, and at the same time was able to reflect on the differences and similarities of my Filipino heritage. From what I was able to gather, the Japanese and Filipino cultures have quite a few significant differences, but have more similarities than I originally anticipated. As the name would suggest, Little Tokyo is fairly little, with its borders spanning a radius of only a few blocks. Walking from one end of the town to the other took no more than five minutes. That afternoon, we started our trip right in the middle of all the activity, into the mouth of a little alley known as the Japanese Village Plaza. People were walking in and out of cosmetic stores, bakeries, bars, gift shops, a brightly lit Sanrio store, cafes, a market, and a number of restaurants serving sushi, shabu shabu, ramen, even Korean barbeque. Many of these shops were playing traditional Japanese music, and interestingly, almost all of the employees that worked in these shops were women. The same could be said about the restaurants, as many of the servers were also women. The chefs on the other hand were all men...

Me I Am

...This week was a difficult one for me, a lot of new concepts and a lot of information was thrown at me but with the media tools I used this week it made it a little easier to get through this week and hopefully the next couple of weeks. One media that helped me in this week’s assignments was the direct chat section on the schools web page. Being able to be in communications with other students helped me understand some sections of this week that I did not understand. It also allowed me to bounce ideas and calibrate on this week’s assignment. Using the discussion board is great but being able to instantly communicate with our team allows us to work better with each other. Another media that helped me big time as the E-book, using the eBook from book shelf makes it easier to navigate back and forth between section and the highlighting section helps keep track of things that I might have to go back and read again or to highlight important section that I think will be needed. I believe this will come in handy later on down the line when it comes time to take the final. These two media tools where very useful this week as this week for some reason felt a little more challenging to me, being able to reach out to team members and have parts that where a little fuzzy helped somewhat clarify certain sections of the chapter. One last media tool or study tool that was very important to my self was the UOF app, I am not always able to be in front of my PC so being able to get on this app from...

...further education, I went to the Sino-Canadian program of Henan Experimental high school in 2009. Not only my English ability is improved rapidly through the courses with all the foreign teachers, but also my recognition to this world is dramatically changed, especially when I first get in touch with fashion. Fashion is a global issue that can be found everywhere in the world. As a student who is going to step into the dazzle and mystery world of fashion, I am always eager to search for the fashion elements wherever I go. Tours to foreign countries since the first year of my junior middle school are especially valuable in my life, comprehensively recording my growing footsteps and colorfully sketching my youth and enthusiasm for life. Paris and Milan, the pioneers of fashion, had brought me into the realm of resplendent clothing. The feeling of integration in the real fashion world when I walked along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and quadrilatero della moda strengthened my thought of studying fashion management.

...in the signature was an E for Extrovert. I know that being an extrovert has been a great asset to me at my work at Target. On a normal 8 hour shift I come into contact with well over a hundred guests and will most likely interact with at least 30-40 asking where something is or if we have a particular product. As it is the Christmas season now I need to be extremely helpful with guest as well as be outgoing enough to ask a puzzled looking guest if I can “help them find anything today?” As well as the many guests I help, I have many coworkers; we have many new hired on because of the holidays, and many I don’t know their names. In order to work most efficiently and effectively, I need to introduce myself constantly so there is no confusion with “hey you’s.” Being an extrovert definitely helps with this kind of working environment. Of course, with how many guests and coworkers I come into contact there are plenty who are introverts and slow the process.
