Glossary 1- Altered State of Consciousness: Any mental state that differs from a normal mental state. (Stein,259) 2- Shaman: A part-time religious specialist who receives his or her power directly from the spirit world and acquires status and the ability to do things through personal communication with the supernatural. (Stein,264) 3- Healer: A religious specialist who concentrates on healing. Relation to my paper: Noll’s paper refers to the fact that it is shaman’s job to heal himself or others, therefore making the shaman a healer.

I found out that ketamine plays very different roles on three groups of people; the youth, the middle aged people, and the elderly. The results that I based my paper off of were very important for doctors to understand so that they could continue to advance their knowledge in the use of ketamine as well as to advance anesthetics.

When functioning normally, these connective “hubs” appear to help constrain the way we see, hear and experience the world, grounding us in reality”. There are also parts of the brain network that are linked to self-consciousness and depression, Psilocybin when in the brain slows down and or turns off activity in those regions which then allows t he sense to run free. Psychedelic also connect parts of the brains that normally are not connection when under the influence of magic mushroom as well. In Conclusion the psychedelic drug Mushroom has a lot of affects on the brain from emotions to various others such as vision and communication and I learned that this drug completely changes and or alters how the whole brain works while under the influence
When it comes to writing a study of another culture, the language used can sometimes highlight whether or not you truly understand the culture being studied. The language of Horace Miner’s Body Ritual among the Nacirema is used, for instance, to satirize the mistakes many anthropologists make when they assume other societies have religious/supernatural aspects in their cultures, regardless of if they do or not. The article that Horace Miner writes himself utilizes the chance to show how much some anthropologists get caught up in assumptions and rely on terms such as “ritual,” “ceremony,” and “magical” to explain practices that they are perhaps unfamiliar with. For example, Miner describes the bathroom as a “ritual” site or medicine as “magic” material. At the end of article, it is even stated that the Nacirema are “magic-ridden” people (Miner, 149), although most Americans are void of many practices involving supernatural and even religious aspects.
They are involved in extraction of evidence of some form of human existence in the past. The collection of artifacts and feature plays an essential role in archeology. Archaeologists look out for artifacts and features such as stones, pits and animal bones. They use these features and artifacts to analyze ancient way of life of the people who left them behind. Archeological sites are instrumental in helping people identify with the past.
Whole third is dedicated to the issues of Bosnian and Kosovo interventions, thus providing a deep insight into extremely complex situations, showing, how decisions were actually made. Taking in account the national-interest criteria laid out at the first chapter, as opposed to the former two cases, these interventions were approved by the author. Many lives were to be saved, United States were allowed to re-affirm its leadership at small cost, and moreover, the risk of American casualties was significantly reduced, as there was no need for ground forces and all was done with air power. According to her analysis, the UN disabilities, NATO limitations, and European western powers weaknesses allegedly prolonged the war and heightened casualties in Bosnia. She therefore was promoter of a unilateral US intervention, since as she claims the situation in the “very heart of Europe” was threatening the security situation in whole Europe, potentially in US, and thus needed a fast and strong reaction.
The balanced mix of people, profession and social status allowed Whitfield to infuse each biography with ancillary information pertaining to religion, flora and fauna, medicine, housing, food, scenery, and so forth. She also was quite faithful to report major historical events for each "tale." I believe there are several reasons for her writing of this history. First, I think she writes it to change the negative perception of the history of Central Asia that we know through the annals of its neighbors. By explaining the history of the region through the eyes of its own occupants, it rids the history of any distorted views from neighboring civilizations.

DMT, as it is shortened to be, is the chemical in our brain which allows us to dream, have vivid meditations and is not depleted from living beings until the being dies. The sacrament of the Holy Ayahuasca leads to visions and meetings with past high spirits and spirit guides. The experience if often accompanied by purging in the body by way of diarrhea and vomiting. The whole experience is guided by Shipibo shamans to ensure correct visionary guidance. The ayahuasca has been documented to have been used in the pre-Columbian era, however westerners have only recently had access and knowledge of it dating back roughly 150 years (McKenna, 1993).
In this article Shelia Hoban tells the story of her 58 year old patient named Frank Johnson who suffers from schizophrenia. She explains what the disease means, the symptoms, treatment methods, and tips on how to interact with a patient suffering from it. “Schizophrenia is a term describing a group of disorders caused by genetic and non-genetic factors.” The exact causes have not been determined; however, research has shown some possible leads. This disease can cause hallucinations and delusions, both of which Mr. Johnson experienced. He was put on an antipsychotic drug called olanzapine and an extended-release formulation of the anti-hyperglycemic agent metformin.
