Crude oil plays a vital role in the daily lives of Los Angeles County residents. Oil is refined into petroleum products that are consumed daily in a myriad of ways.

Pátzcuaro: Pátzcuaro is a small colonial town located in the Mexico city of Michoacán. It is reported that the town was founded as early as 1320 AD and was the capital of the Tarasco people for about eighty years. After the death of Pátzcuaro's king, Tariácuri, the town became a member of a three-part alliance, also including Tzintzuntzan and Ihuatzio. This league was distinctively known for its ability to defend its territory from Aztec onslaught. Nevertheless, the league welcomed the arrival of Spanish forces in 1522 which was the beginning of the Tarasco people's demise. In 1529, the Spanish forces returned under the rule of a land-hungry conquistador named Nuño de Guzmán who brutally ruled over the indigenous inhabitants there ("History

The term "gaucho" broadly translates into the English word cowboy. They are the cowboys of the South American countries. However, according to an article titled What is a Gaucho? by Rease Kirchner, the author points out that a gaucho is most definitely not the stereotypical cowboy that comes to mind with tight blue jeans, cowboy hats, and country music. A gauchos attire is unique. They are very traditional with their clothing styles, starting with the thick wool poncho worn. Gauchos pants were called 'bombachas' which are described as very strong pure cotton pants; they are made specifically to keep strong while horse riding. Another staple to a gauchos outfit are their wide brimmed hats, or every so often, they wore berets. On their feet,

Inside and out, the Zapotecs lived in cultivating towns, mountain settlements, scattered farms, provincial territories, and two urban centers, Juchitán and Tehuantepec. A run of the mill Zapotec people group contained government structures, a position of love, school structures, dry-merchandise stores, and perhaps a well being building or facility. Their homes were made of stone and mortar. The Zapotec were seekers, and were accepted to have chased impala, deer, jackrabbits, squirrels, fox, rats, and quail.

A Nobel Prize winner for new and clean renewable energy and responsible for a new era in scientific innovation, born in Mexico in 1994, Dr. Jose Zuniga. Raised by a single parent and brought to the United states of America as a young immigrant, to try to reach the American dream, had an innovator mind at an early stage.

However, hot and long hours at work didn't misdirect his goal of being at the top of his class and finally becoming the first generation to graduate from college with a bachelors in chemistry.

George Zucco was born on January 11th, 1886. His father was named George De Sylla Zucco and his mother name was Marian Zucco. George father was a Greek merchant and his mother was a business lady that design dresses. Mr. Zucco didn’t have any brothers or sisters.

In 1908 he lived in Canada where he started his early career as an English actor.

The Mapuche have always been their own independent nation, but today they live under the Chilean and Argentinian government. Though not completely independent they still hold a strong independent culture from Chile and Argentina. They have their own: common descent, history, self sufficient economy, cultural identity and their own language. Their language called Mapu-dugun, meaning the language of the land. This language has been passed down orally through many generations. This language is dying out because the two countries there land is in both have their native language as Spanish. Today there are organizations that are working on creating the Mapuche alphabet in order to try to preserve their language.

The Mapuche originated in southern Chile. The name Mapuche has the meaning of people of the land. Their land is there’s and no one can take it away. The Mapuche is one of the biggest groups that there is even today. Some have went to the city but most have just stayed in the outer parts and kept going with their traditions. The Mapuche people date back to 500 BC. Today they still exist; there make up ten percent of the population in Chile which is more than 1,000,000.

In the study, Zimbardo wanted to determine whether the brutality reported among American correctional officers was attributable to their sadistic personalities or it was due to the prison environment (Drury, Hutchens, Shuttlesworth, & White, 2012). Several things could have been done differently in the study. One of the most important things left out is a testable hypothesis. Secondly, the study should not have been used as a catalyst for propaganda. Thirdly, the prison simulation was not accurately simulated, since the goal of correctional officers is not to engender boredom and fear but to maintain law and order. The Belmont Standards, through the beneficence standard, proscribe the intent to engender fear, boredom, and a sense of arbitrariness.

As part of our training for the month of March, I watched Philip Zelazo’s talk on executive function (EF) and the developing brain. I learned that EF is different from “intelligence” (although it is related), and refers to using knowledge in service of goals. EF has three main components: cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibitory control. By looking at these components in early childhood, researchers can predict outcomes such as social understanding, school readiness, and SAT scores. Zelazo pointed out that EF is a better measure of school readiness than an IQ test because the education system enforces children to pay attention, follow rules, and sit still. Furthermore, EF in childhood can predict physical health, drug use, criminal
