UCF Anthropology Discussion Question

 

I’m working on a anthropology discussion question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Upon completing the readings and lecture videos for this week, with a minimum of 150 word

1. What contributions can anthropology make to our contemporary society?

2. Cultural anthropologists focus on the way beliefs, practices, and symbols bind groups of people together and shape their worldview and lifeways. Thinking about your own culture, what is an example of a belief, practice, or symbol that would be interesting to study anthropologically? What do you think could be learned by studying the example you have selected? 

the required reading are 

Chapter 1: Anthropology and Human Diversity, CA (Cultural Anthropology)
Chapter 2: Doing Cultural Anthropology, CA
Chapter 31: Body Ritual Among the Nacirema, C&C (Conformity and Conflict)
