Assignment 1: LASA 2: Ethnographic Comparison
Anthropologists are interested in framing broad hypotheses
about human behavior. In order to do this, it is imperative to
use examples from multiple cultures to ensure that their
conclusions are not grounded in a single case.
In this assignment, you will be taking on the role of an
ethnologist, using multiple ethnographic accounts to study
human behavior and culture.
Do the following:
Identify two to three societies to compare, such as an African
society (for example, Ethiopian, Liberian, etc.), Indian,
Chinese, Korean, or one of the many Native American groups
(for example, the Cherokee, the Inuit, etc.).
Choose one aspect of human culture discussed in the course:
Domestic life and kinship
Subsistence and economy
Religion
Culture change
Using the module readings, Argosy University online library
resources, and the Internet, write a research paper to include the
following:
Describe the background information of each of the societies
you have chosen. You need not analyze this background
information, only provide details regarding these societies.
Analyze the aspect of human culture you selected for each of
the societies.
Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between
the societies in relation to the topic you chose—for example,
standard of living, education, or employment opportunities.
Summarize and address human behavior in relation to your topic
and based on your examples.
Address the realities of life for the cultures you have examined.
Examine some of the social problems and public policy issues
that become apparent.
Your paper should have a title page as well as an introduction
section. This introduction section should include the societies
you selected as well as the human culture aspect you will be
discussing and why it is relevant to anthropology. As an
anthropologist, use relevant anthropological terms in your
analysis.
Support your statements with examples and scholarly
references.
Write a 4-5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards
to citation of sources.
By
the due date assigned
