1) The four-field approach in anthropology

Option 1: Is how everyone around the world approaches the discipline.

Option 2: Is how we pratice anthropology in the united states, it allows us to gain a holistic understanding of the human ecperience.

Option 3: is an approach that existed in early anthropology, but was discarded for being too broad. It was not an effective way to understand what is unique about humans.

2) Cultural relativism can be problematic becuase

Option 1: We should only try to make sense of other cultures, no matter the practice, based on our own cultural calues. We should not let ourselves get unmoored from our own ethics, morals, and perspectives, it is wrong to do so.

Option 2: All possible answers are correct.

Option 3: we are all related. Culture is the same everywhere in the world. Because culture is the same everywhere, we can always make sense of another culture, even without learning about them. Culture is just too easy, and that is why it can be problematic.

Option 4: If a person were to kill or hurt someone, and it was part of a cultural practice, is that something we should try to understand, even within the cultural logics of that society? when is something so wrong that we cannot make anthropological sense of it? Where do we draw a line?

 

3) What best describes fieldwork in anthropology?

Option 1: If you plan it out correctly, two weeks of fieldworl is enough to publish ans participate in conferences. You do not need to spend long periods of time with people to learn about them.

Option 2: Fieldwork is not the main way anthropologists obtain data today. Because of the Internet and the vast ways one can obtain information, it is optional. Instead, we can read about other cultures and write on them that way.

Option 3: Usually, filedwork takes place anywhere from one to two years. Sometimes a professor may do it during summer months over the course of several years.

 

4) The textbook perspectivesdescribes culture as

Option 1: Something that exists in our genes.

Option 2: Something we learn both directly and indirectly

Option 3: Something everyone but while people and Americans have.

 

5) Greetz saw culture as an outside set of controls that guides humans and orders our behavior. This means:

Option 1: Our DNA guides in how to build a specific type of house.

Option 2: We need to be taught how to build a specific type of house.

Option 3: We depend on instincts to know how to build specific type of houses.
