Sharing Your Cultural Perspective (due Wednesday, 2/10)
In the interviews we heard with the two ex-smokers, Pat and Donna, Pat's parents knew that he smoked, but Donna kept her smoking a secret from her parents as long as she could. Can you think of any reasons for this difference? In your culture, is it more acceptable for men to smoke than it is for women?

Have a great weekend, everybody!
Dear Students,
I really do want you to have a great weekend. I hope you believe me. Also, I want to tell you that I'm really enjoying both classes. I see that you are adjusting to the work and working hard, and this makes me very happy. I look forward to a lot of fun with you.
Nevertheless...a few reminders about homework:
1. Please complete the blog assignment that says "due Friday." Friday is today in case you were confused! I will post a new blog assignment that will be due next week.
2. Please be ready to discuss the "Cocaine" article on Monday. I'm sorry that we didn't manage to do it today. This is not new homework!
3. In RS, read the biology chapter on Immunity (pp.291-299, I believe), and complete the exercises. Remember to skim the article first to understand the general idea before you go back and read more carefully. Remember to read ACTIVELY, sitting up with pen in hand! Be ready with this for Tuesday, although we might not get to discuss it until Wednesday.
4. Please begin thinking about and preparing for your presentations. The point is the presentation. Your data does not have to be outstanding.
5. Of course, don't forget to keep learning your vocabulary words!!! There will be a test on list two next week. Also, I will give you a test on context clues some time next week.
If you want to contact me, email me: holly_cin@yahoo.com
Again, have a great weekend!

Sharing Your Cultural Perspective (due Friday, 2/5)
For centuries, Western medicine has treated the body and paid almost no atention to the mind. As Professor Cash stated, health-care professionals are now starting to understand that the mind plays a powerful role in the health of the body. How does traditional medical practice in your culture view the connection between the mind and the body? And how does this view affect the way doctors and other health-care givers treat patients?
