Bob Myers argues that: b. c. d. d. What is ethnocentrism? It is the belief that one's own culture is better than others. Cultural relativism argues that we should seek to understand another person's beliefs and behaviors from the perspective of their culture rather than our own. What is the term for the process of participant-observation fieldwork in cultural anthropology? Ethnography In cultural anthropology, the term "belief" refers to all mental aspects of culture. What do paleoanthropologists study? Ancient human relatives Henry Morgan's argument that all societies "progress" through the same stages of development (savagery, barbarism, civilization) is an example of what type of thinking? Ethnocentric What does the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis propose? The language you speak allows you to think about some things and not others.

Immersive fieldwork What term is used to refer to the immersive, long-term research that cultural anthropologists undertake? Participant-observation fieldwork In her book, Never in Anger: Portrait of an Eskimo Family, Jean Briggs argues that anger and strong negative emotions are not expressed among families that live together in small iglus amid harsh environmental conditions. In English, we say: "I love you." In Spanish, there are many ways of conveying different types of love, such as te quiero, te amo, and te adoro. These differences are an example of how language may influence our views of the world. The study of human origins, evolution, and variation is known as biological anthropology. Which of the following does NOT describe culture? a. b. c. d. b. How did the "Age of Enlightenment" plant seeds for many academic disciplines, including anthropology? Ordinary people could learn the "truth" through observation and experience. Who was Zhang Qian? b. c. d. b.

Their own societies and subgroups within them Cultural relativism argues that we should seek to understand another person's beliefs and behaviors from the perspective of their culture rather than our own. What does the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis propose? The language you speak allows you to think about some things and not others. Which of the following is NOT a major subfield of anthropology in the United States? a. b. c. d. c. Widely known as the founder of American anthropology, Franz Boas insisted that while cultures differ, they are not superior to nor inferior than one another. What term is used to refer to the immersive, long-term research that cultural anthropologists undertake? Participant-observation fieldwork While Western biomedicine is based on science and rigorous testing, it is also true that a. b. c. d. b. Traditional Chinese Medicine understands the body to contain a life force that, when blocked, causes illness. This force is called chi (qi). In medical anthropology, __________ is a medical condition that can be objectively identified, while __________ is the subjective or personal experience of feeling unwell. Disease; illness The approach that considers health to be the absence of disease or dysfunction, and that disease can be identified as one of the following: a pathogen, malfunction of the body's processes, or a physiological disorder is the biomedical approach. The rapid changes in human lifestyles from small foraging groups to crowded, technologically-advanced societies shows that human lifestyles are biocultural, or products of interactions between biology and culture. When an ill person describes the origin of their suffering as coming from a fright or shock, they are using which type of ethno-etiology? Emotionalistic A response to treatment that occurs because the person receiving the treatment believes it will work, not because the treatment itself is effective, is referred to as a placebo effect. Personalistic ethno-etiologies view disease as the result of b. c. d. d. Western biomedicine tends to conceive of the body as a kind of biological machine. When parts of the machine are damaged, defective, or out of balance, the preferred therapeutic responses are most often chemical or surgical interventions. One of the unintended health consequences of the rise of antibiotic use in low-income (developing) nations is that impoverished children, whose lives are saved by antibiotics in infancy, succumb later in childhood to malnutrition, dehydration, or other ailments. The fact that patients in China who experience depression complain of different symptoms than patients who experience depression in the United States illustrates that culture shapes a person's experience of their illness. The comparative study of cultural ideas about wellness, illness, and healing is called ethnomedicine. According to the course text, anorexia is referred to as a culture-bound syndrome because it is an illness recognized only within a specific culture (or in areas that have been influenced by that culture). Obesity is considered to be a "disease of civilization," meaning it did not exist in early human populations. Cultural explanations about the underlying causes of health problems is referred to in medical anthropology as ethno-etiology. The approach in which disease is thought to be the result of natural forces such as cold, heat, wind, dampness, and above all, by an upset in the balance of the basic body elements is a naturalistic ethno-etiology. When an injured person blames their accident on a curse directed at them, they are using which type of ethno-etiology? Personalistic The discipline that investigates human health and health care systems in comparative perspective, considering a wide-range of bio-cultural dynamics that affect the well-being of human populations is referred to as medical anthropology. Zoonotic diseases are diseases that can be passed between humans and animals. The approach that considers health to be the absence of disease or dysfunction, and that disease can be identified as one of the following: a pathogen, malfunction of the body's processes, or a physiological disorder is the biomedical approach. What major contributor(s) to human disease became problematic once agricultural communities became densely populated? Problems disposing of waste and difficulty accessing clean water How does a fable become a tradition within a culture? By being retold and accepted by others in the community Which of the following best describes the
relationship between cultural relativism and ethnocentrism? a. b. c. d. b. The theory of functionalism, as used by Malinowski, understood that cultural traditions developed as a result of the need to regulate specific human needs, such as food, safety, reproduction, and livelihood. Which of the following anthropologists is widely considered to be one of the founders of modern North American anthropology, with its focus on fieldwork and cultural relativism? a. b. c. d. b. In anthropology, the process of learning culture as it is transmitted by others is called enculturation. Clifford Geertz, a post-modern anthropologist, stressed the importance of language, as a means of transmitting symbolic knowledge in public contexts. "Going native" means that an anthropologist participates more fully in local life than an observer, potentially becoming romantically involved with Native people Margaret Mead's book, Coming of Age in Samoa (1925), was an important contribution to the nature-nurture debate, arguing that teenagers experience less stress in Samoa than in the United States. Her fieldwork provided evidence that learned cultural roles are more important than biology in most types of behavior. True or False: In Patterns of Culture (1934), Ruth Benedict wrote about how culture shapes a region's personality traits. True North American anthropologists stress the importance of holism, or considering the entire context of a society, including its history. How do anthropologists understand the concept of The Other? It is a term that describes people whose customs, beliefs, or behaviors are different from one's own; an outsider or stranger. The principle that a culture must be understood on its own terms rather than compared to an outsider's standard is called cultural relativism. What is armchair anthropology? An approach that uses the stories and experiences of others to measure other cultures from one's own (superior) vantage point Why do the authors of this chapter decide to talk to a patron of a coffee shop? The authors are interested to know how non-anthropologists define culture. One of the main differences between the anthropology that developed in the 19th and early 20th centuries in North America and Europe was that European anthropology focused more on social institutions (such as family or political organizations), and how they interact with culture. The term primitive is a term that implies all of the following EXCEPT a. b. c. d. a. The theory of structural-functionalism, as used by Radcliffe-Brown, believed that social structures functioned to maintain social stability over time. The idea that one's own group is better than any other is called ethnocentrism. "That complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society" is Tylor's definition of culture. The authors mention many reasons for telling stories within a society. They identify all of the following reasons EXCEPT a. b. c. d. a. Nineteenth century anthropologists identified three stages of "cultural evolution," which were called (in this order of development) savagery, barbarism, and civilization. What aspects of culture did Bob, the coffee shop patron, identify in his definition of culture? Language and changing cultural values In anthropology, the process of learning culture as it is transmitted by others is called enculturation. The political, social, economic, and cultural domination of a territory and its people by a foreign power for an extended period of time is referred to as colonialism. A study focusing on the extraction of water from land in Fiji by a North American company that sells the water and gains its profits in the U.S. is best situated primarily within the financescape. Based on evidence from anthropological studies, which of the following results is most likely to come from the introduction of modern goods into traditional communities? a. b. c. d. a. In Globalization studies, the fact that McDonalds offers local favorites in its branches across the world, such as a McAloo Tikki potato patty in India, is an example of glocalization. Globalization within a consumerist economy enables individuals a. b. c. d. c. Although fair trade practices are appealing to conscious consumers, why do some farmers get left behind by fair trade? Certain well-situated farmers with more social or cultural capital will have more access to the benefits of fair trade than poorer farmers. The study of the experiences of people who live in cities and the relationships of city life to broader social, political, and economic contexts, is called Urban Anthropology. How does the Afro-Brazilian religion, Candombl, show religious syncretism? Traditional gods of Candomblé, the orixás, are combined with Catholic divine beings, such as saints. How was the U.S.' economic strategy in Latin America different from Great Britain's? U.S. companies went to Latin America to directly control the means of production, whereas Great Britain had imported goods from Latin America. What are some of the problems that have resulted for quinoa farmers of Bolivia now that quinoa is a valued commodity in the global market? a. b. c. d. d. The adaptation of global ideas into locally palatable forms is referred to as glocalization. "The intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa" is the definition of globalization. The combination of different beliefs - even those that seem contradictory - into a new, harmonious whole is called syncretism. After one man traveled to the US from Liberia with the Ebola virus in 2014, many Americans debated whether full travel bans should be instituted to and from countries with confirmed cases of Ebola. This is not only an example of how globalization can potentially create a public health disaster, but also highlights which social aspect of intensified globalization? Xenophobic attitudes and racial prejudice At the turn of the 20th century, the landowning elite began to lose control in Latin America when Latin American peasants migrated from the countryside into the cities and European immigrants arrived During the height of the European colonial period, European nations ruled more than ________ of the world. 85% A study focusing on the spread of religious doctrine by missionaries would be interested primarily in the ideoscape. The intensification of globalization has led many to use others as scapegoats, in an attempt to reassert their own values and way of life. These efforts are often referred to as __________ by social scientists. re-entrenchment Contemporary globalization is said to have begun, at least in terms of economics, as coinciding with the end of WWII and Bretton Woods Conference, which led to the creation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. The idea of the "ethnoscape" focuses on __________ that flow(s) across borders. people What was the result of the privatization of water in the Bolivian city of Cochabamba, as mandated by the World Bank and IMF loans?

Volleyball In recent years, anthropologists have expressed concern about the authoritative voice in their publications. Which of the following statements best reflects their concern? a. b. c. a. The in-depth study of everyday practices and lives of a people is referred to as ethnography. The American Anthropological Association's Code of Ethics stresses which of the following ethical responsibilities? a. b. c. d. c. Ethnographers tend to write two kinds of field notes: descriptive field notes and personal observations. The four-fields approach in the anthropology of the United States includes culture, biology, language, and archaeology. Which of the following methods would an ethnographer use specifically to collect data on important relationships that form the foundation of the society? genealogical method. A sense of trust and a comfortable working relationship in which the informant and the ethnographer are at ease with each other is referred to as having rapport. Allowing one's field research to refine and guide the research question or problem is an approach called deductive. Suitable field sites for conducting ethnography include a. b. c. d. a. An etic perspective would include which of the following? Analyzing a cultural practice by examining how it fits into the recent economic practices of a region The ________ perspective focuses on how people perceive and categorize their own culture and experiences. emic Clifford Geertz' term, "thick description," refers to the ethnographer's focus on the context and meanings of any cultural practice. Bronislaw Malinowski is best known in anthropology for pioneering fieldwork methods, including participant observation. Sometimes an anthropologist does research on a particular group in order to lend their expertise to help fight for justice and equality for that group. In your text, this approach to research is called Activist Anthropology. The idea that one's cultural upbringing and social environment, rather than one's biology, primarily determine behavior is an idea called cultural determinism. Undertaking a period of fieldwork in cultural anthropology typically requires a. b. c. d. d. The tendency to view one's own culture as more important and correct than any other culture is called ethnocentrism. After studying Hopi language, linguistic anthropologists Sapir and Whorf concluded that Hopi speakers understand time in a fundamentally different way than English speakers. The idea that we should seek to understand another person's beliefs and behaviors from the perspective of their culture rather than our own is called cultural relativism. Linguistic anthropologists Sapir and Whorf's main argument was that the language one speaks plays a critical role in how one thinks about the world. Salvage ethnography was an approach that emphasized preserving and collecting "authentic" and traditional ways of life that were disappearing. Most often, ethnographers include in their writing both emic and etic perspectives. A symbolic or interpretive anthropological approach reads culture as a "text," and includes the perspectives that the anthropologist brings to the research. The research technique in which an ethnographer records their own observations and thoughts, as well as what they do while engaging in daily community activities, is called participant observation. Today, anthropologists recognize all of the following EXCEPT a. b. c. d. b. Suitable field sites for conducting ethnography include a. b. c. d. a. An etic perspective would include which of the following? Analyzing a cultural practice by examining how it fits into the recent economic practices of a region Globalization has had all of the following effects
EXCEPT a. b. c. d. d. How can we best understand the use of the term "dialect?" A dialect is a variation of a language, usually distributed across geographic regions, that is considered lower in social and political prestige to another "standard" variety. The abandonment of a language in favor of a new one is called language shift. Descriptive linguistics is a subfield that studies the structures of language. A minimal unit of meaning in a language, that may be bound or unbound, is A morpheme. The term for all forms of human body language is kinesics. The common English phrases "I won the argument" and "I had a fight with my boyfriend last night" are examples of the conceptual metaphor in American culture that argument is war. The minimal unit of sound that can make a difference in meaning, but that does not carry meaning itself (such as /b/ in "bit" or /p/ in "pit") is a phoneme. The idea that a U.S. bride would wear a white dress to her wedding, but a Chinese bride would wear red, relies on the __________ meaning of colors in different cultures. symbolic Deborah Tannen, linguistics professor at Georgetown University, argues that men and women have different speaking styles. Her research found that men tend to use styles that show status and competitiveness, while women tend to use styles that are cooperative and assert equality. Anything that serves to refer to something else, but has an arbitrary meaning, is best referred to as a symbol. The idea that children will gradually lose the ability to acquire language naturally without effort is called the Critical Age Range Hypothesis. Benjamin Whorf's research into the Hopi language led to the idea of linguistic relativity. Language universals are a set of characteristics of all human languages that are the same or similar. The field of linguistics that focuses on the study of the meanings of words and other morphemes, as well as how the meanings of phrases derive from them is called semantics. All of the following are true about human paralanguage, EXCEPT b. c. d. c. The general idea of Chomsky's Universal Grammar is that all normally developing human infants have an innate ability to acquire the language(s) used around them. The vocabulary of a language is called a lexicon. Digital communication has had all of the following effects, EXCEPT a. b. c. d. b. The hypothesis of linguistic relativity promotes the idea that one's cultural environment and language are so interrelated that the way a person speaks may influence the way they see the world. The term "vernacular" is used to identify non-standard or stigmatized forms of a language, also may be called a "dialect." The oralist approach to the education of Deaf and hard-of-hearing people a. b. c. d. a. Code-switching is a speech act in which a speaker uses several language varieties in a particular interaction. All of the following are accurate statements about African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), EXCEPT a. b. c. d. b. The Wampanoag project, led by Jessie Little Doe, is creating new native speakers of the Wampanoag language. This type of project is called language revitalization. Broca's area and Wernicke's area are two structures that process language in the human brain. What causes language variation? a. b. c. d. d. In Brazil, people who are interacting typically do so standing close to one another, often touching one another. This aspect of paralanguage is referred to as proxemics. Benjamin Whorf's research into the Hopi language led to the idea of linguistic relativity. What was the major criticism of the early 20th century "three-race" theory that divided the world's peoples into the categories of Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid? Many peoples of the world were omitted from the racial groups with no clear way of including them in one group or another. One of the differences between the U.S. and Brazilian systems of "racial" classification is that in Brazil, an increase or decrease in social status may change people's perception of an individual's "type" (tipo), while in the U.S. a change in social status does not influence the perception of race. The greatest genetic diversity is between "blacks" and other "blacks" on the same continent. While most of the human population is lactose intolerant, some people can naturally digest milk and dairy products. This lactose persistence in some people is a result of their ancestors' history of dairy farming. Brazilians rely on an unofficial system of "types" (tipos) to identify differences among people. The tipos are based on slight but noticeable differences in physical appearance. Skin color in humans is represented in geography by a cline, or clinal pattern. The skin color cline means that a certain skin color may be more common in one region than another, but the variation is gradual and continuous. Although there is overlap, how does ethnicity (membership in an ethnic group) differ from race? An ethnic group claims a distinct identity based on cultural characteristics and a shared heritage, while race defines groups based on arbitrary physical traits. It has been argued that "black" athletes are naturally gifted runners and jumpers due to benefits passed down from their enslaved ancestors. What does the evidence say about this claim? If we look at other sports, such as the high jump, one can see that "white" athletes from U.S. and Western Europe dominate; it is clearly cultural and social supports that create excellence in groups of people, not genetics. Several groups of people, including the Chukchi of Eastern Siberia and Inuit of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland, have darker skin than other people living at similar latitudes. This is due to the high Vitamin D content of the diets of these groups. The process by which social, economic, and political forces determine the content and importance of racial categories is referred to as racial formation. Which of the following immigrant groups were targeted in the 19th and early 20th century as inferior to "whites" (the U.S.'s mainstream Anglo Protestant society)? a. b. c. d. d. Among people who self-identify as "white," one aspect of their lives has the greatest impact on their experience of society and the advantages conferred. This important feature is socio-economic status (social class). A socially constructed racial classification system in which a person of mixed racial heritage is automatically categorized as a member of the less (or least) privileged group is called hypodescent. Which of the following social supports leads to the development of athletes who excel in a particular sport? a. b. c. d. d. The fact that not only people of East Asian ancestry have an epicanthic eye fold, but also people from Central Asia, parts of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, some Native American groups, and the Khoi San of southern Africa, is an example of a nonconcordant trait that is mistakenly associated with one "racial" group. All of the following are examples of symbolic ethnicity EXCEPT a. b. c. d. b. When anthropologists say "race is not real," what they mean more accurately is that race is not an accurate way to describe any biological differences in the human species, but ideas about race are real in social and cultural ways. The pressure on members of ethnic and immigrant minority groups to abandon their native customs, traditions, languages, and identities quickly and adopt those of mainstream society is the pressure of assimilation. Which early natural scientist divided the human species into four "races": Americanus, Europaeus, Asiaticus, and Africanus? Carolus Linnaeus Any efforts to classify human populations into racial categories should best be understood as arbitrary and subjective. A Japanese person of Buraku descent (Burakumin) can be distinguished from non-Buraku Japanese by social stigma based on ancestry. Author Peggy McIntosh (1988) talks about the unearned benefits and advantages associated with being a "white" person in the United States. The term that she coined in her essay to refer to this set of advantages is White privilege. Skin color in humans is represented in geography by a cline, or clinal pattern. The skin color cline means that a certain skin color may be more common in one region than another, but the variation is gradual and continuous.
