Anthropology

(1250 words) Contrast two of the three following works of art: Lysistrata, Symphony no. 5 in C, The Battle of Algiers. Use specific details drawn from both works of art to discuss what you consider the single most important difference between them. Begin with a clear opening statement declaring what the most important difference is, how it is expressed, and why it matters. Then proceed to illustrate this statement with as many specific details as possible.

For this assignment, you will be writing an ethnography of at least 1000 words and.  Your ethnography should present your findings regarding attitudes towards work, dignity and responsibility.  You should be careful to create an integrated ethnographic essay, rather than a disjointed collection of poorly related ideas.  Here is how I suggest you approach this writing project: Think about what you believe to be the most important idea to come out of your research.  This is your main topic. Be aware that writing about a particular aspect of the theme will require you to leave some topics unaddressed.  However, what is most important is that you provide an integrated ethnographic essay, rather than a collection of disjointed insights about work, dignity, or responsibility. Create an outline of your essay.  Keep in mind that this outline might change as you write, but that it is good to start with a plan in mind. Proofread carefully and thoroughly. should be written like an ethnogra[hy

Describe the attitude of students at your school towards academic achievement.  Did students compete with one another for academic honors?  Were there many students who were disengaged or apathetic about their education? For this unit only, you are required to assemble field notes from your own memory.  it should be written in a coherent way

Impact of Christianity in Shamanism and how was a new institutional form was established.The essay needs to contain an introduction describing the topic of study, the essay’sthesis statement, which briefly describes the argument. The essay should also contain abrief review of the literature (especially the theory used to analyze the data, and previousstudies concern the topic), a larger section devoted to the analysis and discussion, and aconclusion which summarizes key points made in the body of the essay to support and/orsubstantiate your thesis statement. I have 6/13 sources and have done an annotated bibliography of 5 sources.

1.      The book makes the point that “GLBT” history is U.S. History.”  What does it mean to say so?  How does Dr. Eaklor support that point ?2.      What specific people have set out to impede LGBT rights?  What were their motives and strategies?  What specific people have set out to secure these rights?  In each case, to what extent  have their efforts been successful? 3.      How have legal decisions, media portrayals, and government actions affected LGBTQ Americans for the better and for the worse? 4.      Remember the “fear + a trigger = a scapegoat” pattern from your writing on Salem.  How do we see that pattern in LGBTQ history?  Hate crimes are a good area of focus here,  but not the only one.  Was there progress in the aftermath of the events you have chosen,  or not?  Why? 5.  What in this book was new to you, and why is what you have learned important? 6.  Conclusion.  Did Dr. Eaklor make her case that “GLBT” history is U.S. History?  Do you have any criticism of the book?  Would you recommend it?

Which one would you say applies to humans and why?9.Describe the different locomotor adaptations seen in primates (vertical clinging and leaping, quadrupedalism, brachiation, bipedalism). Briefly describe the skeletal adaptations associated with each of these locomotor patterns (except for bipedalism).10.Explain why humans have evolved a biological craving for sugar and why this craving can be harmful in modern environments (from the article on sugar).Millions and millions of years ago, apes survived on sugar-rich fruit. These animals evolved to like riper fruit because it had a higher sugar content than unripe fruit and therefore supplied more energy.”Sugar is a deep, deep ancient craving,” said Daniel Lieberman, an evolutionary biologist at Harvard University and author of “The Story the Human Body: Evolution, Health, and DiseaseAnd sugar offers more than just energy — it helps us store fat, too.When we eat table sugar, our bodies break this down into glucose and fructose. Importantly, fructose appears to activate processes in your body that make you want to hold on to fat, explains Richard Johnson, a professor in the department of medicine at the University of Colorado and author of “The Sugar Fix .” At a time when food was scarce and meals inconsistent — hunting is significantly less reliable than a drive-through — hanging on to fatwas an advantage, not a health risk.In a forthcoming paper, Johnson postulates that our earliest ancestors went through a period of significant starvation 15 million years ago in a time of global cooling. “During that time,” he said, “a mutation occurred” that increased the apelike creatures’ sensitivity to fructose so that even small amounts were stored as fat. This adaptation was a survival mechanism: Eat fructose and decrease the likelihood you will starve to death.The sweet taste was adaptive in other ways as well. In the brain, sugar stimulates the “feel-good” chemical dopamine. This euphoric response makes sense from an evolutionary perspective since our hunter-gatherer ancestors predisposed to “get hooked” on sugar probably had a better chance of survival (some scientists argue that sugar is an addictive drug”Imagine if someone hated sugar in the Paleolithic era,” said Lieberman. “Then they wouldn’t eat enough sugar or have enough energy and wouldn’t have children.”In other words, anything that made people more likely to eat sugar would also make them more likely to survive and pass along their genes.All the food challenges our prehistoric ancestors faced mean that biologically, we have trained ourselves to crave sweets. The problem today is that humans have too much of the sweet stuff available to them.”For millions of years, our cravings and digestive systems were exquisitely balanced because sugar was rare,” Lieberman wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times. “Apart from honey, most of the foods our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate were no sweeter than a carrot. The invention of farming made starchy foods more abundant, but it wasn’t until very recently that technology made pure sugar bountiful.”Weight gain was not a real risk when our instincts meant we might scarf down the nutritional equivalent of a carrot whenever we happened to stumble across one. Drinking soda all day — the contemporary equivalent — is a different story.Today, the average sugar intake in the U.S. is 22 teaspoons per person per day, which is four times the amount that the World Health Organization suggests is healthy. Eating too much sugar is linked to a laundry list of negative health effects, including diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure.”We need to realize that our bodies are not adapted to the amount of sugar that we are pouring into them and it’s making us sick,” said LiebermanOriginal Link: https://www.businessinsider.com/evolutionary-reason-we-love-sugar-2014-4?r=US&IR=TYou will be graded using the following rubric:A  90-100%    Outstanding work with thorough, detailed, and clearly written answers

What sorts of cultural adaptations are found throughout the world in response to different environmental conditions?

Module III focuses on the various aspects and characteristics of culture. Write a 2 page essay discussing one process or mechanism of culture change from the power point entitled “Processes of culture change” in the Module Readings. Provide an example of a specific aspect of culture (your and/or another culture) that has changed as a result of the selected culture change process.  Examples of aspects of culture include modes of subsistence, forms of marriage, types of household, kinship or descent practices, types of family, type of distribution and exchange, or another aspect of culture that is covered in this course (Chapters 8, 11-15).  Provide an example of change that is at the cultural level as opposed to societal or individual levels.  Use information from an ethnographic research study/source to support your discussion.
