n the Introduction of Nisa, Shostak claims that “although the !Kung were experiencing cultural change, it was still quite recent and subtle, and had thus far left their traditional value system intact” (5). What do you make of this claim? Do you agree? To what extent? Does evidence from the book, that Shostak provides, support or trouble this claim? You might want to pay particular attention to this week’s readings (Epilogue). Bring forward the evidence to support your claim. Why do you think it’s important for Shostak—and for her arguments— to make this claim? Finally, based on your discussion above, how do you think Shostak understands/theorizes “culture?” (think here of the “classic culture” concept might be helpful). https://archive.org/details/naithestoryofakungwoman/naithestoryofakungwomanreel1.mov Part 2 (A half a page or so can work here!) Is/was Shostak a feminist ethnographer? Why or why not? If yes, what kind of a feminist ethnographer is she? To help envision, think through, and illustrate your response, draw from Davis and Craven (on Moodle)—and in particular their section discussing different “Feminist Perspectives”— as well as Shostak and perhaps lecture or discussions.
as a respiratory disease where irreversible airflow interference is the underlying aspect, allowing COPD to be more clearly identified. Below is a non-proportional Venn diagram clearly distinguishing the eleven separate disorders in patients and the ways in which they overlap.

CAUSE:
Normal lungs function by pulmonary ventilation where inhalation occurs that causes each air sac to fill with air, and exhalation causing them to deflate. External respiration then takes place where oxygen from the lungs is exchanged with carbon dioxide from the blood vessels surrounding the alveoli. The transport of respiratory gases proceeds this followed by internal respiration which involves the movement of oxygen from the blood vessels to the tissues and the movement of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the blood. When inhalation occurs, air from the atmosphere passes through the primary bronchus(trachea) followed by secondary bronchi, segmented bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli, the last point of division connected to blood vessels. The alveolar sac contains many alveoli and is connected to the terminal bronchiole by alveolar ducts. Normally during inspiration air moves freely through these sections of the respiratory system. Small capillaries surround the alveoli where gaseous exchange occurs. Normally the airways and alveoli are flexible and springy and during inhalation each air sac inflates and during exhalation they deflate.
In COPD patients, the airways become narrow and inflamed and produce excessive mucus that may clog the airways, making it difficult to breathe. The walls of air sacs in the lungs are damaged, losing their elastic quality and the air sacs lose their shape. As airspaces get larger, air becomes trapped leading to fewer air sacs to supply oxygen
