– Review the most recent data on copper supply from the USGS: http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/copper/mcs-2016-coppe.pdf and consider the global supply of copper. a)              If demand for copper stays constant, how many year’s worth of production do the current global reserves represent?   b)            From that same USGS data source, you can find that in 2010, the global demand for copper was 15,900 thousand metric tons.  This global demand rose to 18,700 thousand metric tons per year in 2015.  What annual percentage growth in demand does this represent?   If demand for copper stays constant, how many year’s worth of production do the current global reserves represent? c)             If future demand continues to increase at the same rate as you found in part b, how many years will the current reserves last?  Hint – you can either integrate the demand as a mathematical function or you can adopt a numerical approach using a spreadsheet.

Ethnography Project Description (Immigrant Life History): 20 points The ethnography project will draw on anthropological theories covered in discussions and readings as well as your own ethnographic research interests in the NYC community. This project will allow you to develop your own ethnographic and analytic skills. I encourage you to explore your own cultural interests with this project and to incorporate them into your research question. You are not allowed to research your own cultural/ethnic group. Guidelines Ethnographies are different from standard research papers. They tend to be more reflexive – they include the ethnographer’s experiences, biases, and interests – and they often have a narrative structure. They incorporate anecdotes, and interpret them with support from anthropological theory (relevant Literature) and demographic & statistical data. The arguments presented in ethnographies are supported by evidence from the author’s fieldwork experience and/or from scholarly literature. Unsubstantiated opinions should not be included as fact. Acquaint yourself with your target population and record all your notes throughout the research process. While you should feel free to creatively explore the ethnographic genre, you are required to include the following in your ethnography project: • Part I – Context (5 points) : Archival background data for target population (ethnic immigrant group) you will be researching in NYC Do not include demographic/historical data for the country/nation of origin. The purpose of this assignment is to build current community knowledge, designed to establish familiarity and connection to the group’s neighborhood and immigrant experience. Do Include: 1. Demographic Research – Identify the ethnic group you will be researching, as well as the neighborhood where they reside. Using the US Census Bureau website, American Fact Finder (http://factfinder2.census.gov), as well as others, write a 1-2 page report that examines the demographics of the group’s community. (Note: You will need to enter a zip code at the website to locate the relevant data.) Consider the social and economic characteristics of the community and other important factors, e.g., race, ethnicity, housing, education, language. 2. Statistical Research – Provide recent statistical data (including charts/graphs) that indicate immigration rates (as well as any recent changes in immigration from that group). Also, include data that may indicate issues with the acculturation/assimilation experience, including economic, educational, socio-political, etc.) Include at least 2 source websites for statistical/demographic data. 3. Relevant Related Literature: Anthropologists relate to and interpret their findings through other anthropological theory texts. as well as cultural, political social, historical attributes you discovered during your ethnographic research. you should list and summarize no fewer than 2 relevant scholarly resources that may include: a) anthropology reading from our class, related to the cultural group/issue you are addressing in your research. b) journal articles (from scholarly academic journals) c) book on your specific group and/or research topic/issue. • Part II – Methodology (5 points): An explanation of at least 3 ethnographic methods used (participant observation, semi-structured interviews, kinship and social network charting, mapping, fieldnotes, etc.) and a summary of outcomes for each of them. Include a detailed description of your methodology (Example: I employed participant observation at several sites (specify sites above) on _______(dates) and observed that________. The Life History Interview of an immigrant is required for this project. • Part III – Critical Analysis & Research Outcomes (5 points): Discuss the findings of your anthropological fieldwork, in the context of the relevant literature and data. You may use the following prompts to guide your analysis: 1. What did you learn about the immigrant experience, including acculturation and/or assimilation to American culture) for this group? 2. What makes this group’s immigration and/or acculturation/assimilation experience unique (discuss cultural differences, current socio-political context, race/ethnicity bias, economic considerations, etc.)? 3. What did you learn about immigration in the USA that you didn’t know before? How has that information changed or supported your current perspective of immigration policies in the USA? Explain. 4. Explain what makes your researchrelevant to the current research in this area? Your analytical essay should be double-spaced, 1” margins, 12 pt. standard font, and including a bibliography. References should be done according to APA style.

There are 5 short identification. Answer each short identification in which it should not be longer than 1 page or 300 words.

Be sure to format your quotations clearly with quotation marks and the author’s name and page number following. For example: (Lindenbaum p. 17). You must indicate the author when you discuss different ideas and examples. Full citations (as in a normal term paper) are not necessary. Just make it clear to your reader. Use the files uploaded as a reference to answering questions. Do not use outside resources besides the ones provided. This is a personal mindset with the use of the files attached as a reference. (While answering the questions think about – How this topic relate back to medical anthropology?)  Short Answer Questions: 1. What was Evans-Pritchard’s approach to analyzing sorcery? 2. What is Kuru? 3. What is biopower? 4. What is a syndemic? 5. What is engaged anthropology?

See attachments for the full instructions & lecture notes It’s a group assignment so I only need help with my part which is the extensive literature review part and address: Are there any theories developed to improve understanding of the relevant systems in the effort to solve the problems? What kind of experimental and numerical techniques have been used? What are the key findings from these experimental and numerical studies? What problems have been solved?

Confucian ideas about family and relations between the sexes were usually imagined in the context of rural life. To what extent were families, ideas about sex roles, and actual relations between the sexes different in the cities? To what extent can family relations in that world still usefully be described as Confucian? Your readings about woman in Korea and Song China and your viewing of the Qingming shanghe tu can provide material for your argument. Additional readings from Jacques Gernet’s Daily Life in China will be posted to Quercus. The questions are meant to guide your thinking; they are not a proposed outline for your essay. The most important things in writing an essay are to develop an argument—an opinion about the topic—and to back up that argument with evidence, preferably evidence from primary sources. So, reference to the readings, particularly the readings from primary sources, is not only good practice, it it mandatory. In most cases, you should be able to write this essay using only the assigned readings; if you’d like suggestions for further reading, please come see me or your TA. Do not rely on Wikipedia or other online sources to supply anything other than the most basic of information (which is already avail- able in your textbook). Your essay should be 800-100 words long (5-7 pages, double spaced, in a normal font, with 1” margins). It is due October 27. Unexcused late papers will be penalized 5 points for each day they are late. If none of these topics appeals to you, you may write on another topic, but you must come see me so that we can talk about the feasibility of your proposed topic. If you choose to write about something else or modify the essay topic substantially, without receiving my approval (and not that of your TA), you will receive a zero (0) on the assignment. How you present your ideas matters almost as much as the quality of your ideas themselves. So, proof- read your essay, and if you’re unsure about grammar or other aspects of writing, have some one look over a draft of your essay: the writing centre at your college is an excellent place to start.

Students will select a work of art that we cover in class.  Students will write a 2 page paper that answers the following questions:  What is the background to the piece? (The artist’s background and purpose).  What is the meaning of the piece?  What was the intention of the artist?  What is the message the artist was meaning to convey?  This paper should be submitted as a Microsoft Word attachment in D2L.  This submission should be primarily in your own words.  I am not concerned with what others think of the work of art, rather I want to see how you interpret the work.  As much as possible rely on your own words. The artist you’ll be writing about:Vincent Van Gogh (a dutch artist) MESSAGE FROM MY PROFESSOR: “I am not concerned with what others think of the art, rather I want to see how you interpret the work” Thank you
