ANTH 107 Cultural Anthropology

Survey of selected non-Western societies from around the world. Societies reviewed might include China, Japan, Yanomamo, Wamani, Kung, Navajo, Apache, Inuit, Tlingit, South India, Papua New Guinea, and Morocco. Films will accompany ethnographies from each culture. The choices that people in cultures make to organize and solve problems, such as the definition of family relations and obligations, the distribution of goods and services, the administration of justice, the allocation of resources, the ways toward religiosity, and the relations of families and groups to the larger social networks will be examined.
