3) Determining KFe (Gly)2+
A/ab = c  (.283 from solution 8)/ ((4545.45 mol-1 cm-1)*(1.1cm)) = 5.66x10-5 M
Therefore, x = 5.66x10-5 M = [Fe(SCN)2+]eq
Fe3+ SCN- FeSCN2+
I .0016 M .00032 M 0
C -X -X X
E (.0016 M – X) (.00032 M – X) (5.66X10-5 M)

Using equation 19.11: [SCN-]eq = CSCN – (A/ab) = (.00032 M – 5.66X10-5M) = 2.634x10-4 M
Using equation 19.12: [Fe3+]eq = [Fe(SCN)2+]eq / ( KFe(SCN)2+ * [SCN-]eq ) which equals
(5.66x10-5 M) /( (100)* (2.634x10-4 M) ) = .00214 M
Using equation 19.13: [Fe(Gly)2+]eq = Cm – [Fe(SCN)2+]eq – [Fe3+]eq which equals
(.0016 M) – (5.66x10-5 M) – (.00214 M) = 5.966x10-4 M
Using equation 19.14: [Gly-]eq = Cgly – [Fe(Gly)2+]eq = (.00032 M) – (5.966x10-4 M) = -2.766x10-4 M
Using equation 19.15: KFe(Gly)2+ = [Fe(Gly)2+]eq / ([Fe3+]eq * [Gly-]eq) which equals
(5.966x10-4 M) / ( (.00214 M)*(-2.766x10-4 M) = -1007.90

I still end up with a negative value, which resulted from equation 19.14, where at equilibrium, we had a bigger value for [Fe(Gly)2+]eq, compared to the Cgly (initial concentration of glycine). This could have resulted due to the fact that we had miscalculated the amount of glycine we measured into the solution, and we could have also misread the absorbance for the solution, which could have set the following equations that depended on the [FeSCN2+] to be wrong.


Sorry about this again. I really hope you understand. 

Napolean Chagnon

Napoleon Chagnon accomplished ethno self analysis by not only analyzing the Yanomamö, but also himself in order to gain a better understanding of their lifestyles. Chagnon was “living among the Yanomamö to systematically collect certain kinds of information on genealogy, reproduction, marriage practices, kinship, settlement patterns, migrations, and politics” (Chagnon 1992). He used ethno self analysis during his cultural adjustment to notice the differences in his actions and the actions of the Yanomamö. At first, Chagnon was shocked at how the Yanomamö lacked sanitization as he remarked, “'Even the missionaries are filthy” (Chagnon 1992). But later on Chagnon realizes that because of the current condition of the region, it is impossible to stay clean. He states, “It is difficult to blow your nose gracefully when you are stark naked and the invention of hankerschiefs is millenia away” (Chagnon 1992). Chagnon constantly notices his own struggles, an important aspect of ethno self analysis. He considered it “appalling how complicated it can be to make oatmeal in the jungle" (Chagnon 1992). Like Chagnon, ethnographers can use self analysis to find the reasons behind the actions to construct a more elaborate and in-depth conclusion about their subjects.
At first, Chagnon was disappointed because he had expected to work his way “into their moral system of kinship and become a member of their society-to be 'accepted' by them” (Chagnon 1992). When Chagnon saw the Yanomamö, he felt helpless and pathetic, a reaction he changed as he finally adjusted to the Yanomamö community. Towards the end of his experience he states, “I was timid and mohode ("stupid") and a little afraid of them” (Chagnon 1992). This change in perspectives reveals that Chagnon used ethno self analysis by comparing his initial and final reactions towards the Yanomamö to create substantial findings. Ethnographers should risk a few attempts at ethno self analysis because it helps them recognize the differences and similarities between their actions and the actions of the unfamiliar people. Such realization can help discover the root and the actual reasons of why the unfamiliar people act the way they do. It is only then when ethnographers can begin to understand the culture with an experienced perspective.

Authenticity

Determining whether something is authentic can be extremely difficult due to its multiple definitions. Authenticity to the original varies in levels which depend on the similarities to the original style. In this scenerio, the term original refers to "that from which a copy, reproduction, or translation is made, meaning something done firsthand" (Original 2009). For example when dealing with lyrics, "stripping away sound and staging, like so much husk, one can finally arrive at the kernel of authenticity that lies inside" (Washabaugh 2009). The more similar a song is to the original, the more it is authentic to the original. Therefore, when a song is less similar to the original, the song's authenticity is stronger to its own.

It becomes extremely important to determine the level of authenticity, especially as original cultural practices experience a greater risk of extinction. The greater the alteration, the probability of the original diminishing altogether increases as well. The authenticity of a song, a food item or a dance performance gives the individuals "authentic to the style" the right to claim it their own. A writer who writes the original lyrics to a song owns its most authentic form. A style of flamenco music that is 100% authentic to the original belongs to the group of people who created it. By defining authenticity in such a way, we can conclude that all the performance clips of Flamenco are authentic to the original to an extent. The clips that are less similar to the original performances of Flamenco are more authentic to their own style.

Anthropologie

Walking into the store, I realize that the store really fits its name “Anthropologie.” The look is cozy and natural, when compared to high tech and modern stores you’d find at the mall. The strong scented candles fill the room built with wooden floors that reminded me of a cabin or an antique store. The place contains everyday useful products like beds, couches, chairs, pillows and rooms décor. The designs on the clocks are beautiful and very detailed. In fact, the most important characteristic of the store is how it’s embedded with details. The designs and patterns on clothes provide a fashion statement of an earthly feeling. If you look back in time, the smallest details on buildings, statues, royal robes, and furniture revealed value and gained admiration. I see the fine details throughout the stores, especially in rugs and scarves that were sewn with colorful threads and unique designs. The bags and boots give an old south western look with leather and suede straps, not to mention the wide range of colored beads. The word “anthropology” refers to people all around the world and a store named after it should reflect just that. I do realize that the store only had women’s clothes and not men’s. Anthropologie is the right term for the store, but it’s lacking men’s product. Maybe the name should have included the term “women” or some reference to the womanly/feminine products in the store. Besides that, a store depicting a stylish, natural and earthly look that most women can relate to breathes Anthropology.
