| ANTH 103 - Cultural Anthropology |
|
The extent and ways in which culture shapes human behavior.
Using a comparative, cross-cultural approach, several
specific contemporary cultures are studied in depth in order
to provide a close look at the ways some other people
organize their lives. Aspects of culture that will be
examined through these studies include family organization,
marriage patterns, child-rearing practices, religious
beliefs, political processes, social control mechanisms, and
economic bases. Generalizing from these studies and other
examples, concepts basic to an anthropological point of view
will be introduced, and major processes operating in any
cultural system will be discussed. These will then be
applied to modern American cultures as we examine how these
same processes operate in and affect our own lives. Also
available through Distance Learning Fall, Winter, Spring
Terms.
