  • ANT 101 Week 1 DQ 1 Cultural Relativism

  • www.ant101.com
  • Cultural Relativism. Cultural Anthropology gives
    three distinct meanings of cultural relativism a
    moral stance that requires anthropologists to
    suspend moral and ethical judgments when
    interacting with a culture different from their
    own, a methodological strategy that allows the
    anthropologist to pay specific attention to the
    uniqueness of a culture, and an epistemological
    position that cultures are unique and therefore
    knowledge about different cultures is almost
    inherently not comparable. (Sec. 1.3).

  • Foraging Societies. Answer one of the following
    four questions posed by Nowak and Laird,
    in Cultural Anthropology, at the very end of
    Chapter 3
  • a. What can we learn from studying foraging
    societies? Is there anything we can learn
    regarding our relationship to the environment, or
    our family members, for example?
  • b. What is the ethnographic present? Do you think
    that the use of the ethnographic present in the
    film The Gods Must Be Crazy is appropriate, or do
    you think Lee's criticisms are valid?

  • www.ant101.com
  • Economic Concerns. You have two choices for this
    discussion.
  • a. Choose one of the following questions raised
    by Nowak and Laird in their "Consider This"
    boxes, in Chapter 4, of Cultural Anthropology. Be
    sure to indicate at the outset which question you
    are answering. Read the original question and
    relevant information in Chapter 4 before
    answering the question you choose. Your answer
    should give clear examples, include
    cross-cultural comparison, and demonstrate
    critical thinking and analysis.

    Online Library. Describe the correlation between
    arranged marriage, economic exchanges surrounding
    marriage (bridewealth, bride service, dowry,
    etc.), status of women, family pressures, and
    other factors you can think of and the stability
    of marriage.

  • ANT 101 Week 3 DQ 2 Doing Business with Family
  • For more course tutorials visit
  • www.ant101.com
  • Doing Business with Family. Nowak and Laird's
    Applying Anthropology 6.2 box, in Cultural
    Anthropology, proposes the following question
  • The familiar saying never do business with
    family advises against the practices used in
    many of the chiefdom societies discussed in this
    chapter. This old saying implies that doing
    business with family will create conflict,
    whereas chiefdom societies welcome and encourage
    such close-knit economic exchanges as a way of
    preventing conflict.

    society that created it?
  • Do a bit of Internet research on religious or
    secular monuments, statues, and architectural
    wonders in your city, state, country, or

    monuments), describe its main features, discuss
    any symbolism it has, and analyze the messages it

  • Focus of the Research Paper
  • Throughout this course, we have learned that the
    primary mode of subsistence (how a culture makes
    a living) impacts many other aspects of cultural
    behavior and has been an effective way to
    organize thoughts and studies about culture. In
    order to demonstrate your understanding of
    subsistence modes and its impact on a culture and
    why a culture acts as it does, your Research
    Paper will require you to
