https://ppmtravel.wordpress.com/2009/11/21/1117-23

June 19 – December 12, 2009. November 21, 2009. I slept pretty shit and wasn’t feeling to hot so I missed out on the meteor shower although I have no idea if it was even visible considering how far south I am. Well I woke up to an odd dream about being chased by zombies. I spent the morning at the library in UNAM to research my paper. I found some pretty good sources to back up the historical context for my labor conditions paper. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Aaron Robinson's Life...

School Update | Peru.Panama.Mexico

https://ppmtravel.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/school-update

June 19 – December 12, 2009. December 4, 2009. Which is about the femicides in Juarez across the border from El Paso. It was really intense and disturbing. In Cities we talked about disasters, water, and power. So the only class that wants us there both days so far is Cities. I only have finals for Gender and Cities left. I’m hoping to get rid of at least one of them this weekend. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:. Get every new po...

http://cp-arobinson.blogspot.com/2008/04/advantages-disadvantages-of.html

Wednesday, April 23, 2008. 8 Advantages and Disadvantages of Bilingualism. The prejudices Greg encountered were primarily religion based. Since he was a Sikh he looked different. He remembers his dad wearing a turban until he got an important job. Greg had long hair down to his waist until four years ago when he made an important decision about work. He explained that in his religion your hair is connected to your soul and any cutting of it must be carefully considered. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Culture and Language: February 2008

http://cp-arobinson.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, February 24, 2008. Both: Green, English: Yellow, Punjabi:Blue. In comparison to Punjabi, English uses a smaller variety of sounds. Punjabi uses tones and many of the syllables sound squished together in speech. I would assume it would be easier for a Punjabi speaker to learn English than vice versa. As some sounds are common in both. Greg mentioned that his parents learned English by pronouncing the alphabet. "A" is "Ahhh" etc. Tuesday, February 19, 2008. Wednesday, February 13, 2008.

Monday, March 10, 2008. 5 Gestures and Personal Space. In speaking with Greg, he has told me that in India people seem to be more friendly.

Culture and Language: 7. Language Play and Acquisition

http://cp-arobinson.blogspot.com/2008/04/language-play-and-acquisition.html

Wednesday, April 23, 2008. 7 Language Play and Acquisition. Take first sound or consonant cluster. Add to end of word. Ex: cat = atscray. In English we commonly play with Pig Latin (rules stated above). Greg was unaware of any Punjabi play languages so we devised one of our own. We decided to adapt Pig Latin to Punjabi. Take the first syllable or sound group, place it on the end of the word, and add "Jabi". Brother- bhai = hai-b-jabi. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Capo Beach, Ca, United States.

Culture and Language: 9. Argument

http://cp-arobinson.blogspot.com/2008/05/9-argument.html

Monday, May 5, 2008. Greg's view of argument comes from his parents. His father was the head of the family and was to be respected. His mother had a similar set of authority but a different role. India has markets and a history of haggling which would lead me to believe it to be an "argument" culture. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Capo Beach, Ca, United States. View my complete profile.

Week with Mom | Peru.Panama.Mexico

https://ppmtravel.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/week-with-mom

June 19 – December 12, 2009. November 17, 2009. We have Spanish class and then a movie in Migration. The movie was called Letters from the Other Side. And I thought it was pretty good and a unique approach to documentary film making. We hang out in the comp lab trying to figure out the weekend. At night was the FRP Goodbye Party. So we say goodbye and enjoy the food and drinks. There was dancing and loud music. Jill had a headache and we went home to sleep. We packed and got on a bus to Cuernavaca. This ...
