The Yanomamo, the largest isolated tribe in South America, are a hunter-gatherer community with multiple unique characteristics of their culture. This society is very underdeveloped due to their isolation, for example their technology is not near what developed countries have experienced over the past century. The main technological feature is the clay pot, and since it is fragile, the men handle the cooking due to the fact that women are seen as “clumsy”. This is one of the many examples that show the male dominance this tribal culture experiences. Another example would be the preference of male children, this, however, has caused issues within the society because being decidedly masculine results in marriage issues. These issues include friction among the men due to pining over the minimal amount of females along with marriage between tribes due to no eligible availability of women. Apart from the male dominance and technology, everyday life is simple for the most part. Women tend to the children and gather food for the tribes while the men hunt- hence the term

When looking at Jetta’s extensive health background we can begin to see the evidence and correlation of stressors having impact on her physical as well emotional health. Addressing first of all her childhood and the early stresses that can correlate with some of her later experiences, we see the domestic abuse roller coaster within the first 7 years as being very impactful. Additionally, the shock of being removed from the environment and having to move created additional stress as the only consistency of a social support was lost by the move and transfer to a new school. In the new environment, the stressors continued as her stay at home mom transitioned

From 1919 on, Balla took on a new side in the art world, becoming involved the scientific viewpoint in society. He was one of the stand out figures in Futurism, and "Giacomo Balla (1871-1958)... was among others who signed the 'Manifesto of the Futurist Painters' during interwar years, were already inclined to an interest in the heated, fantasy mixed with modernist machine-worship and extremist political rhetoric of Marinetti's manifesto," (Richard Humphreys, Futurism). Along with many other artists, Balla signed the Futurist Manifesto during the interwar period to bring art into a new spectrum. The artists wanted to bring the aspect of science and innovation into art and used abstract shapes as a way to inspire individuals to view art through new perspective of innovative thinking. Giacomo became fascinated by Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, where he first learned about the science behind speed and light when he heard that “First, Einstein showed that time, space, and matter are interdependent, as expressed in the famous formula e - mc2, where e is energy, m is mass, and c is the speed of light,” (World History in Context). Growing up, Balla's father was an industrial chemist, so he was born into the ideas of scientific reasoning, and as he lived through the interwar era, Balla took an interest in Speed and Light, which was stated in Einstein's Theory of Relativity. During the interwar period, Einstein's famous point was shown in many of his later pieces, influencing a lot of his progressive work, and he showed that in his first Futurist inspired piece titled, Abstract Speed - The Car Has Passed. “This painting is the first of a new and remarkable development in the direction of Futurism and exemplifies the way in which Balla’s professionalism brought him to results that were perfectly in tune with the times and, in some cases, led him to formal inventions that anticipated other
Roberto Matta was an artist who employed the style of surrealism. He was born in Santiago, Chile in 1911, where he spent his adolescent years. Matta attended a Jesuit university where he studied architecture and interior design. After graduating from the program in 1935 he fed his need to experience other cultures by embarking on an expedition that encompassed many countries and continents. He first stayed only in Central and South America, but soon decided that he wanted to go further ("Matta: Making the Invisible Visible"). He then became a part of the Merchant Marines, which enabled him to expand his horizons. Although he had a passion and a background of architecture, he also loved to sketch what he saw as he travelled, especially landscapes and cityscapes. From the beginning of his time as an artist, he drew and painted almost exclusively abstract works. While in Europe, he finished his term in the Merchant Marines and remained in Paris working as an architect under a modernist architect known as Le Corbusier. While in Paris, Matta became acquainted with the works of Salvador Dali and Rene Margaritte ("Roberto Matta - Biography"). Amongst others these two artists were key sources of inspiration for the former half of his life’s work. When Matta began his artistic career, he used mostly crayons and pastels. His work became recognized and he was formally asked to join the Surrealist Movement by André Breton in 1937.
Rifles are classed based on their action (bolt action, pump action, lever action, etc.) and the caliber, or size, of ammunition they fire. Caliber is usually given as a number -- the diameter of the gun's bore in millimeters or inches. Further specifications might include the number of powder grains the cartridge case is designed to hold. For example, if you're talking about a .25-06 Remington, the first number refers to the caliber. In this case, the gun has a bore with a quarter-inch diameter (6.35 mm). And the cartridge case is designed to hold -- you guessed it -- six grains of powder.

Growing up, Balla was influenced by Neo-impressionism and adopted it into his own style. Different to the other futurists, he was more of a lyrical painter. Balla was not conceded with modern machinery and violence. His paintings depicted speed and urgency, which is why his paintings are line with Futurism’s interest in modern life.
