Homework: Anthropology
Length: 750 to 1000 words.
Overview:
Cultural anthropology encourages us to think about how culture is a uniquely shared feature across the human experience. We are invited to see cultures and societies different from our own through a lens that highlights our similarities. We may begin to even see our own culture, that which we don't question and think of as "normal", through a more objective viewpoint.
For your final homework, you will use the concepts in our class to look at your own cultural ideologies, practices, and patterns through the lens of anthropology. You will produce a five paragraph informative essay (750 to 100 words) that looks at THREE forms of social organization in our culture. You will need to correctly identify the pattern and dynamics in each form of social organization, implementing key terms and ethnographic description. For each form of social organization, you will use ONE fieldwork method conducted in your home to support your claim.
Select three of the following forms of social organization:
a. Subsistence
b. Social Stratification and Identity Gender/Sex/Sexuality
c. Kinship and Marriage.
