ANT-2 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Biological Determinism, Antipositivism, Homicide
Document Summary
Refers to groups of people with supposedly homogenous biological traits such as skin color or hair characteristics. A sense of identity among a group based on a sense of a common heritage, language, religion, or other aspect of culture. Groups that have along-standing connection with their home territories, a connection predating colonial or other societies that prevail in that territory. Typically, a numerical minority and often have lost the rights to their original territory. Refers to culturally constructed and learned behaviours and ideas attributed to males, females, or sometimes a blended, or third gender. Differs from sex, which is based on biological markers. The human life cycle, from birth to old age, takes people through cultural stages for which appropriate behaviour and thinking must be learned anew. Enduring group settings formed for a particular purpose, have their own characteristic microcultures.
