Document Summary
Introduction: looks at how culture mediates our daily lives and experiences. If culture is learned how do we learn this: we are enculturated to think in certain ways, family, school, mass media, this learning can be implicit or explicit. Natural or biological: we tend to think of a lot of our behaviors as natural or biological, but this is a dangerous mode of thinking. Key tennets: key terms and instead that underlie that discipline. I am right, my way of thinking is better than yours. Four subfields of anthropology: physical/biological anthropology, you may study forensics, paleoanthropology, archaeology, medical, legal anthro, demographic anthro, cultural, linguistics, applied anthropology. Remember: no one anthropologist is an expert in all the fields, they apply the holistic approach, they are interdisciplinary, they study all different aspects of a culture and how they intersect. Definitions: peoepl tend to use the terms fender and sex interchangeably, they mean two idffernt thinkgs.
