The document raises several questions about the field of anthropology: 1) Whether anthropology's lack of tangible outcomes can be attributed to how it is taught and understood. 2) If it is fair to expect anthropology to fit personal values and goals. 3) If misunderstandings of anthropology are why expectations are not met.

Furthering Questions

Abraham Heinemann
Andrea Zuppi

If anthropology is shaped by how it is delivered
and therefore how it is understood,

is this why our expectations are lost between

the importance we give anthropology
and the lack of tangible outcomes?

Is it fair to ask to anthropology to stretch its
boundaries to fit personal values and goals?

Did we just misunderstood anthropology in all
its senses?

Can these feelings of ours be considered as the
‘emergent’ in social anthropology?

Can the empirical strength of a holistic approach
survive in a culture of reductionism, without
explicitly materialising its importance?

Is it enough to be a holistic overview of other
disciplines?

Is it good enough

for social anthropology to be a largely ignored
discipline?

What is the link between our thoughts and the
fact that anthropology is not publically
understood?

Should we not go crazy with experimentation?

There are two opposing views on the skills required of phenomenological researchers. One view is that researchers must suspend beliefs and develop skills to understand lived experiences without bias. The other is that the researcher's subjective judgment is valuable. Researchers also need skills like reflection, clarification, and conveying interest through listening. Founders of phenomenology included Husserl, Heidegger, Scheler, and Jaspers, who were influenced by philosophers like Kant, Nietzsche, and Dilthey. They sought to understand subjective experience and its relation to topics like consciousness, language, freedom, and relationships between people.

Interpretevism vs positivism

Professorkhurram

Khurram Zafar Awan presented on interpretivism theory and its differences from positivism. Interpretivism developed among researchers dissatisfied with positivism's inability to reflect nuances in human interaction. Interpretivists believe research values influence findings and seek meaning in individuals' subjective experiences rather than objective perspectives. Examples provided include Paul Willis's study of working class "lads" using ethnography and Emile Durkheim's positivist study of suicide rates across demographics.

Evaluating children’s literature

Everton Walker

This document provides guidance on evaluating children's literature for cultural sensitivity. It discusses how multicultural literature can help children learn about other cultures but may also perpetuate stereotypes. It lists several elements to consider when evaluating a book, such as the emotional and imaginative impact on the reader, the author's portrayal of different groups, authenticity of cultural depictions, writing style, illustrations, and sociopolitical factors like representation of diverse groups and power dynamics. Readers are encouraged to critically examine books for subtle biases, stereotypes, disrespectful content, and cultural insensitivity.

Theories of Knowledge: Foundations for Statistics

Asad Zaman

Real Statistics: A Radical Approach, new textbook aims to rebuild the entire discipline on new foundations. Section A of Chapter 1 explains the logical positivist philosophy at the foundations of the conventional approach to statistics. The positivist philosophy arose as a reaction to failure of Christianity to provide sound foundations for public life (it led to continuous warfare). This theory of knowledge rejected all unobservables - not just God and afterlife. But some concepts like probability and causation are inherently and fundamentally unobservable. Since modern statistics is built on positivist foundations, it has been unable to define these terms correctly, to this day. For a writeup of these slides, see HTTP://bit.ly/RSRAb01A

Strategic Note-taking for Social Sciences Research: QRSTUV Title and Author Question Research Methods Summary of Findings Takeaway Message Unfamiliar Vocabulary Kenneth Gergen, “Together We Construct Our Worlds” P5-12 Since what we consider real is socially constructed, what makes people agree it is real. For example: Before we know tree is tree. What makes people believe it is tree? Observation Gergen argues the most important means of reality maintenance is conversation. It is through conversation that we create social common sense, which is also what makes our world today. For example, if we do not agree on trees as trees, then, there will be no trees. Social Origins of Good and Real: • The ways in which we understand the world is not required by “what there is.” • The ways in which we describe and explain the world are the outcomes of relationship. • Constructions gain their significance from social utility. • Values are created and sustained within forms of life (including science). If everything we consider real is socially constructed, then nothing is real unless people agree that it is. Social Convention : are those arbitrary rules and norms governing the countless behaviors all of us engage in every day without necessarily thinking about them, from shaking hands when greeting someone to driving on the right side of the road. Social Utility : is a service, or characteristic, that benefits the majority of population of any given society. Gerld Handel, Spencer Cahill, Frederick Elkin, “Human Neural Plasticity and Socialization” P13-19 Is it possible to have a child who were born with disability to succeed as a normal child? Observation, Content Analysis • This article introduce the debate of nature versus nurture focusing on human development and individuals’ consequent abilities and characteristics. • The author of shows a couple studies that is limited to the importance of neural plasticity during primary or children socialization. • The author is proven that neural plasticity of human brain are the foundation of child development. It is what shapes the child’s personality and abilities. • However, socialization/experience shapes biological functioning. In another word, experience is what shapes the neural circuitry of the human brain and sustain it. Humans have not a single but dual nature. Human Neural Plasticity : The brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Synapse : a junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter.

Each answer is worth 5 marks. 1. Since the 1970s, qualitative analysis in political science has largely drawn inspiration from phenomenology and hermeneutics. However, behaviouralism remains committed to positivism in a quest to make political science scientific. What is the positivist method? Which features of behaviouralism reflect its commitment to positivism? 2. Even though the origins of interpretivism lie in anthropology, political science has embraced it to demonstrate and better comprehend the role that culture plays in politics. Why is culture central to interpretivism? In the course of doing interpretivism, what does it mean when a researcher becomes a researcher-analyst? 3. When researchers are conducting interviews, they can choose from a menu of four styles: informal, unstructured, semi-structured, and structured. State the key features of each interview style. .

It concludes by listing some of the main theorists associated with the ethogenics school and emphasizing that language and action are intertwined in this paradigm.

Epistemology[ln1]How is anything knownWhat is the basis .docx

elishaoatway

Epistemology [ln1] : How is anything known? What is the basis for knowledge? Is it innate reason, experience, or something else? Is all knowledge subjective, or are there some universal truths? What is the relationship between faith and reason? What can artificial intelligence teach people about knowledge? What are the limits of human understanding? Ethics: What is the right thing to do? What does it mean to be a “good person”? Does virtue lead to happiness? Do the ends justify the means, or is a virtuous action virtuous in and of itself? How does living in a society affect morality? Is morality culturally based or individually based, or is there a universal morality? Aesthetics: What is beautiful? Is beauty truly in the eye of the beholder, or are there some things that all cultures find beautiful? What is the purpose of art? How can a piece of art be successful or valuable? Does beauty matter? Political philosophy: What is the best kind of government? How much power should the government have? What kind of people should be in power? How involved should the common citizen be in government? Social philosophy: How should humans behave in a society? Do people give up certain rights when they choose to live in a society? How do social values affect individual beliefs? Do people behave differently in a crowd than they would individually? How does society affect language and other types of communication? [ln1] Epistemology means study of knowledge .

PART BPlease response to these two original posts below..docx

smile790243

PART B Please response to these two original posts below. When responding to these posts, please either expand the thought, add additional insights, or respectfully disagree and explain why. Remember that we are after reasons and arguments, and not simply the statement of opinions. Original Post 1 "What is moral relativism? Why might people be attracted to it? Is it plausible?" First of all, moral relativism is the view that moral truths are subjective and depend on each individual's standpoints. Based on this, everyone's moral view is legitimate. This can be attracted because it sounds liberating and there is no need to argue for a particular position. Moral relativism seems convincing in some cases. For example, some people are okay with giving money to homeless people, thinking that it's good to provide for the people in need. Some people, on the other hand, claim that they can work to satisfy their own needs. Moral relativism works well in these cases because they all seem legitimate. However, there are cases that moral relativism does not seem reasonable. For example, child sacrifice in some cultures seems cruel and uncivilized to most people. Hence, moral relativism is not absolutely true. Original Post 2 “Is your death bad for you, specifically, or only (at most) for others? Why might someone claim that it isn’t bad for you?” I'd start off by acknowledging what the two ancient philosophers, Lucretius and Epicurus, outlined about death. They made the point that death isn't necessarily bad for you since no suffering takes place and that you yourself don't realize your own death. In this way, one could make the claim that death isn't intrinsically bad for you. Another perspective I wanted to add was the influence of death (both on you and others around you). Specifically, the event of death itself may not be bad for you, but the idea of impending death could impact one's life. Some may live freely, totally care- free, accepting of death and enjoy life in the moment. Others may be frightened by the idea of death that they live in constant fear and hence death causing their mental health to take its toll. In this way, I'd argue that death could, in fact, be bad for you. One common reason for being afraid of death is the fear of being forgotten. Not to mention the death of an individual certainly affects others; death doesn't affect one's life but also all that is connected to it. Focusing back to the point, it's clear that the very idea of death directly affects the concerned individual. The fact that those who live in fear of death are looking for legacies and footprints to leave after they leave this world is telling of how death could be arguably bad for you before it even happens. PART A Pick one or more questions below and write a substantive post with >100 words. Please try to provide evidence(s) to support your idea(s). Questions: • Do we have a duty to work out whe.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...

indexPub

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17

Celine George

A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
