In the recent past, there has been a lot of concern for the environment, since damage to the environment is worsening. This also has an effect on climate. There are various factors that can influence the human environment interaction. Some of these include population size and the practices of the different populations. It is important for policymakers to understand human environment interaction, as it affects the future of the human race. For instance, if the interaction is to the detriment of the ecosystem, it means that man may not have a place to call home in the near future. It is important to try and modify this interaction to such a degree that both human life and the environment are preserved. This is usually referred to as co-evolution and co-adaptation. Some of the ways in which humans directly influence the environment are as a result of the need for food and clothing. Activities such as transportation also influence the environment.

Ethnocentrism is the concept in which a person view's his own ethnic group as the center of everything, and all others are only scaled and rated with reference to it. There is a characterization of vanity, pride and beliefs that one's own group is a much better and more superior version of other groups. The article, "100% American", was written by Ralph Linton, a known American anthropologist in the mid-20 th century. This article is all about the typical American who walks around in his little life, all of the things in which he interacts/ uses are made or invented from other countries besides his own, and in the end, still thinks that he is 100% American, assuming that everything is American- made.

This article is from his book, "American Mercury" which was written in 1937. The purpose of this article is to show an example of ethnocentrism and how it can affect a society or other societies for that matter. I think that the way Linton wrote about American's ethnocentrism in this article was entertaining, intellectual and humorous. I liked how he was sarcastic and ironic in portraying how much an American could really think so highly of himself even if all the things around him are not even his country's invention. I felt that this article could be both a warning and an awareness campaign for those who are bias among their own countries to recognize other countries as equals and to be aware that these countries have more contributions to society than one country can contribute to the world. It is one of the best, if not perfect, ways to inform the masses that different cultures have their own contributions to society's improvement. Innovations are made through the inventions of different people from different countries and those who are ethnocentric should be made aware of this in order to save shame the next time they try to brag about their own country.

For other people who might chance upon this article, I think that they will also find it amusing, if they get over the fact that the article is long. It has humor and knowledge that I think most readers would understand. But for those closed minded people, I think that they will interpret the article as a joke or a way subtly inform people of boring old history lessons because of the places and inventions mentioned in the said article. But I think that most will really be able to grasp the concept of ethnocentrism, especially for Americans. It might not just be for Americans but also for other cultures that take too much pride on their own culture that this article could be applicable, and in which readers could really reflect upon.

Are you going to go ethnocentric?

North Dakota () is a U.S. state in the Upper Midwest, named after the indigenous Dakota Sioux. It is bordered by the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba to the north and by the U.S. states of Minnesota to the east, South Dakota to the south, and Montana to the west. North Dakota is part of the Great Plains region, characterized by broad prairies, steppe, temperate savanna, badlands, and farmland. North Dakota is the 19th largest state, but with a population of less than 780,000, it is the 4th least populous and 4th most sparsely populated.[note 1] The capital is Bismarck while the most populous city is Fargo, which accounts for nearly a fifth of the state’s population; both cities are among the fastest-growing in the U.S., although half of all residents live in rural areas.

Sushi lovers are being warned of the dangers of ingesting parasites from raw and undercooked fish.

Doctors writing in British Medical Journal Case Reports said sushi's growing popularity in the West could be linked to a rise in parasitic infections.

Experts treated a 32-year-old man, in Lisbon, who was found to have parasite larvae on his gut lining.

He had been suffering stomach pain, vomiting and fever for a week.

A blood test showed mild inflammation and the area below his ribs was found to be tender.

But it was only when the man said he had recently eaten sushi that doctors suspected he might have anisakiasis.

Anisakiasis is a parasitic disease caused by anisakid nematodes (worms) that can invade the stomach wall or intestine of humans.

It occurs when infected larvae are ingested from undercooked or raw fish or squid.

Doctors performed an endoscopy on the man, inserting a long tube with a camera into the stomach.

They found the larvae of a worm-like parasite firmly attached to an area of swollen and inflamed gut lining.

A special kind of net was used to remove the larvae "and the patient's symptoms resolved immediately", the team from a central Lisbon hospital said.

They added that most cases of anisakiasis to date had been reported in Japan, but warned: "However, it has been increasingly recognised in Western countries."

Atlantic salmon and sea trout caught at sea or in UK rivers are also known to be at risk of being infected with same species of parasite, NHS Choices says.

The advice is to remove the guts of the fish, freeze it for at least four days and then cook thoroughly before eating.

This article goes out to all of the tourists and immigrants in America. Personally, I'm thinking of all those NYC tourists along with the many immigrants that live on Staten Island. As many of you may know, I've been in Bolivia for over a month.

Being in a new place with a language you're not fluent in and a culture you don't understand is bittersweet. Sometimes it's cool to figure out new things, and other days it becomes overwhelming -- all of which has allowed me to have a deepened sense of compassion for foreigners in a new land. My goal for this article is simply to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the times that I've rolled my eyes or wanted to laugh at your lack of cultural knowledge. I'm sorry for the thoughts I've had about how horrible your English is or how your nonexistent sense of direction here is slowing my day. I'm also sorry that it has taken a trade of places for me to realize how ignorant I've been, but I pray that my words can help others see what I now do.

One saying I've heard before and have probably thought at least once or twice is, "If you want to live in our country you need to speak our language." Probably the biggest lesson I've learned through these past few weeks of Spanish classes is that learning another language is hard. It's not something that can be easily be picked up in a few months. Understanding verb conjugations and building up a good vocabulary takes a lot of time. That's not considering how difficult it is to converse with a fast-talking native speaker. The next time someone tries to ask you for directions or needs help in any way and is struggling with English, please have some patience. They may genuinely be scared and have no idea what to do. You blowing them off is only going to make them feel more alone and afraid.

Although not as difficult as language, culture is also something that takes getting used to. I can easily think of a handful of things that I have unconsciously done while here in Bolivia that goes against what is considered respectful or proper. I didn't do these things on purpose, but they are things that are complete opposites of what I'm used to. For example, if someone goes to hand you a flyer here, you are supposed to take it and say thank you. In New York, I hardly ever take a handout and will often just ignore the person. Something that literally everyone does in NYC (unless you're Buddy the Elf) is considered extremely rude here, yet on two occasions my instincts have kicked in, and I've completely ignored the person only to realize what I did later on. This may be a silly example, but I think it proves a point. If someone appears to be rude, give them the benefit of the doubt, they probably didn't mean it.

This article is not meant to be an excuse for people not to learn more about the new culture they are in, but it is for the citizen to show them some grace as they learn.

I want to close with a realization that I came to the other day. Let's think about why most people visit or move to another country. Aside from missions or humanitarian work, most people will visit a place because they think it's cool. They admire something about it and want to spend their money and vacation time to check it out. Instead of getting annoyed by their presence, take it as a time to thank God for the neat place you get to call home and let your response be one that makes them think this place is even greater.

In terms of moving to another country, I'm fairly certain that most people do so because they want better lives for their families. They want religious freedom, better living conditions, education along with many other things that, as an American, my mind doesn't even think of. Here's a website I found that lists a bunch of common reasons why. It is not easy to pick up everything, leave everything you've ever known and land in such an unfamiliar place, but people often do it because they want something greater for their lives and the lives of their loved ones.

Think about these two things for a little. None of this gives us any right to be rude. Maybe they are a little clueless in this new place, but they are still real people. Real people with real families and real problems and real feelings. More than once during this past year I have told someone that I am from New York and they have immediately followed it up with, "But, you're nice."

Regardless of where you live, don't be the reason someone believes the stereotype that all (insert city/state/country here) residents are rude, arrogant, judgmental, egotistical or mean. Instead, let your everyday life be an example of love, kindness, and joy -- both to the foreigner and the citizen.
