  • anthro paper week 5

    two goals. First, you will discuss the foods you eat during your favorite holiday. Second, you will discuss the foodways of a non-industrial culture (foraging, horticulture, or pastoralism). Make sure that you name a specific culture (ex.! Kung, Kwakwakawakw, Maasai). You cannot just discuss a subsistence strategy. You will need to discuss a cultural group that relies on a foraging, horticultural, or subsistence lifeway.

    When writing your paper, discuss at least two of the following for both:

    • What are the modes of subsistence involved? How do you/they get food?
    • What roles do each family member have? Do these vary by gender or age?
    • What are the myths, norms, attitudes, or history associated with this event/lifeway?

    Use in-text citations from the textbook and one outside, scholarly source to back up your points. Scholarly sources include journal articles and textbooks written by professionals. Your paper must be 1-to-3-pages, double-spaced, and in APA Style.

    you can choose the other reference that is needed and I have attached the chapter of the book to reference for the other.

  • Anthropology Question

    The instructor will provide discussion questions for the readings, films, and lectures 4 times during the quarter. Students are required to write response papers to these questions and turn them in by the assigned date. The response papers should seek to answer the discussion questions by providing a concise overview and critical appraisal of the relevant readings, films, and lectures. Each comment should be at least 600 words in length (maximum 1,000 words). The response papers should not be asummary of the readings or lecture materials but a thoughtful engagement with issues raised in the lecture and the readings through critical analyses and integration. A grading rubric is at the end of this syllabus. Please note that there will typically be a choice of two to three questions provided for each assignment. You should pick ONE of these questions to address in your response paper. Please note that if attendance in lecture is high and students are writing their response papers WITHOUT relying on AI technologies, then your lowest score on the response papers will be dropped. If instructor has the sense that students are using AI technologies to write these response papers, then the instructor will switch them from take-home to in-class essays. In this eventuality, the instructor will announce the dates and times of the in-class essays.

    Response Question:

    Imagine that our society is shifting from largely disciplinary power to more sovereign forms of power. Please describe what this shift would look like by discussing AT MINIMUM THREE of the following domains: 1) bureaucracies, 2) norms, standards, and ideals, 3) visibility of the sovereign or state, 4) visibility of the average civilian, 5) forms of punishment instituted by the state, 6) peoples sense of personal choice, 7) surveillance, 8) ones soul (as Foucault referenced it), 9) the ambivalence of state violence and suffering bodies, and 10) rituals of truth.

    movie:

    • What were some of the impediments to Darwin presenting his ideas on evolution?
    • Is intelligent design simply creationism repackaged? Why?
    • Are beliefs in creationism/intelligent design as well as science/evolution mutually exclusive? In other words can someone believe in both evolution and intelligent design?
    • The title of the film we viewed under the Course Materials is “War on Science” – do you believe that there is an actual war on science here? Why? What does it mean to have a war on science? Who is waging this war and how is it being contested?
    • What should be taught in classroom and why? Evolution, Intelligent Design, Creationism and why? Should law impact this? (US Constitution Amendment I – Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably)
