ANT 101 Week 1 DQ 1 Cultural Relativism For more
course tutorials visit 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). In your
forum contribution a. Discuss what you see as
the strengths and weaknesses of each of these
three kinds of relativism. b. Identify one belief
or practice in another culture that you find
puzzling, strange, or troubling, and then discuss
the extent that cultural relativism is a useful
approach to underst

course tutorials visit www.ant101.com Studying
Culture. Choose one of the "Consider This" boxes
that Nowak and Laird present us with in Chapters
1 and 2 of Cultural Anthropology, or discuss the
topics below from the film Margaret Mead Coming
of Age, available in the Films On Demand

topics covered are a. Whether the UN's Universal
Declaration of Human Rights should be applicable
to all cultures b. Whether it is possible to
truly view a culture without being influenced by
the cultural constructs of our own culture c. How
our understanding of what it means to be a
patient in the United States reflects our
different cultural backgrounds and
affiliations d. In the film Margaret Mead Coming
of Age, it is mentioned that Meads initial
research was criticized on methodological
grounds. Why was that? Do you consider the
criticism warranted or not warranted? What could
she have done differently?

course tutorials visit www.ant101.com 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? c. Do you think the
view of many anthropologists (pre1970s) that
men's hunting activities are more highly valued
than women's gathering activities

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. Build
on the ideas and terminology in the text and your
own ideas to support your answers. i. What is the
traditional sexual division of labor in American

they can be as successful as marriages of choice?
Which form of marriage do you have the hardest
time understanding? Reflect on marriage and
divorce in current North Amer

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. In fact, in an interesting
article on family businesses
