[Solved] Cultural Anthropology

Assignment 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 assignment, 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 (750-100 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:  Subsistence Social Stratification and Identity Gender/Sex/Sexuality  Kinship and Marriage  Requirements:  750-1000 words, double-spaced, 12 point font. Creative title at the top of the first page.  Citations and work cited page. (No need to do outside research but you should use your text and other materials to support your claims.)  APA format. Five fully developed paragraphs. Proper identification of the forms of social organization in our society.
