• What have we learned about analysis?
o Recognising the different aspects of culture: learned, shared, symbolic, material,
integrated
o Recognising the difference between evidence and argument
o Understanding the relationship between evidence and argument

• Examples: material, symbolic, sharing
• What have we learned about comparison?
o We are using the definitions as the basis of comparison.
o This means you are comparing
• Arguments
• Relationships between arguments and evidence
o You are NOT arguing that actual beliefs and practices are similar or different
• Culture as a Process:
