Hello, I just need help with 2 assignments regarding my anthropology class. I have attached the files with all the requirements for the assignments.

So, please be creative! ?  Use this discussion board to connect the course material to your own life. ⚖️ This assignment is part of the "Course Participation" group which is weighted at 20% of your grade.  Prompt Give one example that demonstrates how human beings treated like “social pollution” in our culture. · · · · · · Please identify an example that has not already been mentioned by a classmate · Please stick to only one, very specific example so that your classmates will have plenty of other options to choose from   · Remember that we use the "social pollution" to the occasion when individuals or groups are marginalized because they don't conform to or fit into society's standards/expectations Anthropologist Mary Douglas argued, “Dirt offends against order.” In other words, people prefer to have their world "clean" and organized in order to create a sense of control. Douglas further argued that “pollution” could be defined as “anything that offends our preferred order of the world.” Sample Response "I'll share a story that has always stuck with me. In 2015, a group of women who belonged to the same book club were kicked off of a wine train in Napa (Links to an external site.) because they were, allegedly, laughing too loud. Having been on wine trains and having laughed loudly in fancy places throughout my life, I knew that this story wasn't about their laughter at all. In my opinion, they were kicked off the train for being black. In our culture, we treat people differently based on their race (and, of course, gender, sexuality, etc) and I think that we expect black people to behave differently in public than we expect other groups to behave. I sincerely felt like these women were being treated like pollution because of their skin color and that the train operators were removing them from the train in order to remove the people who they, sadly, viewed as "pollution". This is a systematic problem in our society where we treat people like pollution if their race and behaviors do not conform to our preferences. If any black students in this class feel that I am not representing this story fairly, please reply and correct me so that I can get the issues right."

Disqualified for a cloth
I came across this story that really connected with the topic of ‘social pollution’. Pollution
is something no one wants and people avoid. If we put this definition in the context of people, I believe that is more tragic that unfair. This story is about a teenage girl who was disqualified from a district level race just because she sported a ‘hijab’ or head-covering that Muslim women usually observe. She was not notified before the race and after running her personal best, was informed that she wasn’t qualified to begin with, just because she wore a head covering. Usually, people shouldn’t really care if a person dresses one way or another. I don’t mind if my neighbor wears a skirt or a hood. However, it is disturbing to not that people start treating one another differently just because they see others as a different kind- like from a different religion, race or origin. The race must have been more humiliating for the girl, since she did her best only to be informed that it didn’t even count. Here, we are entirely dealing with a sports event that has nothing to do with religion to being with. I have seen international athletes who sport hijabs. The entire intention...
