When You Guarantee Your Loyal Customers the Best in Organic

• Offer something more than just organic products to consumers, help influence eco-friendly choices by keeping the good companies in business. Labor abuse ranges from outright slavery to the use of child labor and unsafe working conditions. Supply and demand are factors that enable these heart wrenching truths. The main reason businesses that practice these morally wrong tactics are still up and running is because consumers keep them in business. Like a batch of apples there tends to be at least one rotten in the bunch and to take on all corrupt corporations might be a lot to take on before breakfast, however there are more reasonable ways we as consumers may help defuse this uphill battle. 

• When we choose to do business with companies that respect their employees by respecting human rights and guaranteeing that no exploitation nor child labor will exists in their company and in its supply chains we are giving them a better chance of surviving and influencing the development of similarly structured businesses. If more consumers demand justice in the values and labor laws we have a better chance of these big businesses doing what they do best and supplying justice and values in labor laws.

• It is companies like The iidea company and Agaven Products that work to maintain a relationship with the community who respect the local needs and the interests of the people with whom they collaborate with. These companies and others that make donations to various causes in public and private entities, and make it a priority to visit public and private entities to deliver personal hygiene are the business consumers would globally benefit from.

Sweet Tooth Cravings for The Vegan

• It seems as though Agave Nectar is the latest and greatest recently trending in Western cultures, the Agave Nectar has been used throughput history for topical treatments to the well known alcoholic beverage tequila. The agave nectar are succulents with large rosette of thick, fleshy leaves. During the earlier years when agave was earning its rightful place as a staple in many kitchen's and medicine cabinets. The plant was used for its many topical uses as well as favored for the delightful taste that has made agave nectar so popular today. The very sweet agave nectar may be comparable to honey and believed to be just as delicious if not more preferred. 

• The trending alternative to honey has become well know to many successful restaurants competing to deliver a quality menu for all walks of life. With trendy vegan restaurants leaving its mark in the culinary scene serving delicious vegan meals from San Francisco/Ca, San Antonio/TX, to New York, NY and more in-between it is no wonder why more business is choosing to welcome a variety of foodies, vegans, and the eco-minded consumers alike. Similar vegan options are now provided at well known cafes to chain restaurants in several cities – rural and urban alike – throughout America. As a species that has the power to so much destruction it is hopeful to see even the big corporation to the smaller mom and pop shops doing their part to make environmentally conscious choices by giving the consumer options on the menu to choose to eat environmentally friendly. 

D.I.Y. Holistic Agave Nectar 

• The Aztecs considered agave as the prized gift the gods bestowed on them. The Agave Nectar is still used in a variety of recopies as well as beauty treatments that are possibly free if you have these ingredients in your kitchen pantry. 

• Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon Agave Nectar

• (Penetrates deep within the skin to hydrate the surface to keep skin looking young)

• ½ cup of cooked rice or ½ cup of raw steel cut oats 

• (Serves as an exfoliant to gently wash away dead skin while hydrating and renewing)

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice - freshly squeezed or concentrate will work just fine

• (Helps to lighten skin and lift off dead cells)

• Mix all the ingredients together and be sure to blend them well. Apply the mixture to dry hands or face (apply as an evening scrub, because the lemon may cause sensitivity from the sun) and gently scrub in circular motions for no less than two minutes. Be sure to rinse well with warm water and clean wash cloth. To be sure not to overly exfoliate this regimen is safe to use up to 3 nights a week.

Studying Culture Trends• One of the major methods by which scientists study cultures is with an image perceived to be considerable enough to share with others. The shared images are often

perceived as humorous or relevant to one’s life and or culture. As the image develops from environmental influences it may take on characteristics of the individual or culture that continues to show interest in the image. Defined by Richard Dawkins as the cultural equivalent of a gene, or anything that is copied from brain to brain. Scientist are now more than ever before able to distinguish discrete definable variations within culture. With the study of memes there are not any known notable compromises in evolutionary character of cultural transmissions. 

• Thus has the possibilities of using a wide variety of medias as it defines imitation as a learning process and making multicultural cultures possible. “However, translating psychological material is not as easy a task as you might expect.” “Having an accurate translation of your psychological materials is a necessary precondition for doing good cross cultural research.” (Heine, p. 120) In my personal opinion the field of study called memetics that arose in 1990 due to the hype for the world wide web and memes there has been plenty of tangible evidence to conduct multi-cultural theories and understandings. For example, before the internet and memes we had festivals and art to display and share culturally expressed perspectives, and art to create humor from tragedy. I do perceive studying culture is a step and from there momentum is inevitable, however I can’t help but feel like the American culture appears to be running in place. I may say it is culture mimicking main stream media that is merely a mirror for culture. 

• The cultural events that motivate individuals to create or share memes have always been around. For example, the high population density, recourse scarcity, a history of conflict on their own soil, the spread of human disease, and natural disasters tend to become much tighter societies. By which they mean have very strong norms, constraint, and little tolerance from deviance from social norms. Versus societies that are loose by which they mean have weaker norms, much more permissiveness, and much more tolerance for deviance from social norms. The societies that tend to be looser do not tend to have the same recourse scarcity. (Michele Gelfand, clip 4) The first way is individualism, which states that each individual is acting on his or her own, making their own choices, and to the extent they interact with the rest of the group, it's as individuals. Collectivism is the second way, and it views the group as the primary entity, with the individuals lost along the way.

The Importance of Culture in Psychology

• Ethnocentrism-that is judging people from other cultures by the standards of our own culture. Any time anyone generalizes by using statements like always, everyone, all the time and every day the dualist approach uses ethnocentrism. This was a common influence in psychoanalytical studies that may have developed misunderstandings of foreign morals. The alternate approach would be a multicultural perception that defines the foundation of cultural psychology allowing mixed cultures to respect un experienced/unknown idea. Cultural psychology became further explored only a mere decade ago to better understand ones “normal” behavior to another cultures “normal” behavior. Questions such as, “What dose cultural psychology offer the field of psychology and to the people more generally.” (Heine, p. 23)
