Assignment 2: Be An Anthropologist
Purpose:
The goal of this exercise is to observe a 'cultural scene' as an anthropologist would (i.e. based on
everything you have learned in the course to-date). The student will analyze their observations in
terms of themes from the subfield of cultural anthropology such as how it helps frame our
societies (family, lifestyle, lineage, language and communication) and, in some ways, its
evolution.
Description:
Culture as we have discussed in our readings is an incredible advantage that has allowed
humans to enter almost every niche in nature. The development and maintenance of culture is
what sets humans apart from other species. Culture varies by time and location. For this
assignment, students will be observing a particular setting for 25 minutes, writing up your
observations, and then analyzing them.
Directions:
Choose a time and location for where/when you are going to conduct your observations of an
ethnographic scene
