Cultural Anthropology: The Human Challenge2

Paper instructions:
1.Contrast the meanings of the terms culture and society in anthropology. {Note: At least 50% of students who attempt this deceptively simple question each term

fail to receive full credit for it. This is because they 1) plagiarize their answer directly out of the textbook – an automatic “zero” for the question – or, 2) fail

to read the required “Instructor’s Commentary” and incorporate information out of it into their answer. And then they go on to make those same mistakes assignment

after assignment! Don’t be among that 50%!}
2.Do societies always accord exactly with their cultures? That is to say, do people always do what they think they should? Give one example.
3.Define and contrast ethnocentrism and cultural relativism as approaches for evaluating cultures.
4.Briefly describe participant observation. How might it provide more information than surveys alone?

requirement:
1.    Student uses facts and evidence to present a coherent answer. 2.    Student uses examples from the textbook, and secondly draws on the Instructor lecture,

and/or DVD. 3. Student demonstrates strong understanding of anthropological terms and concepts. 4.    Student puts most information in own words in order to illustrate
