Lévi-Strauss asks the following question: “If the content of a myth is contingent, how are we going to explain the fact that myths throughout the world are so similar? (1963, 208) How does he answer this question? How does his structuralism parallel Saussure’s structural theory of linguistics?
Consider the maquiladoras as an economic basis for social (human) development. Look at all sides of the maquiladora phenomenon, go through all the pros and cons, look at the multiple perspectives, and then come to a carefully reasoned overall assessment of them. Remember, it is important to demonstrate to me that you understand the concepts and the case material. Do not use Chapter 3 for the paper (you’ve already reflected on your main post), but rather discussed the rest of the chapters. The paper should be several paragraphs and in detail with citations or sources.
Why is it important to understand how genetics are expressed phenotypically? Not all genes are, so when there are Mendelian traits versus, say, blood type, how is it important to understand the probabilities of mutations or other genotypes which may or may not be expressed phenotypically?
According to researcher Brave Heart, the Lakota collective ego identity as bereaved, victimized, and traumatized is anchored in the historical and cultural past. How does it connect to the health logic from Lakota’s perspective, and how does it compare to Western societies?
Drawing from the article, Regional Variations in American English, and your other readings, discuss regional dialects, including factors in dialect formation, cultural centers (cities), and contact with other languages. How have languages changed, and how do regional differences express identity? You may also include a consideration of your own dialect, and how it fits into these categories.
1) Viral diseases like Ebola and AIDS are both capable of wiping out large populations of people, but in terms of the evolutionary processes that we are studying, Ebola will not likely succeed in doing long-term major damage, but AIDS can. Why do you think these two diseases are different evolutionarily? [OLIWENSTEIN of the reader is helpful – #2 in the reader].
2) How are Malthusian ideas of population related to GM crops talked about in the HSIN article (#3 in the reader)? Argue for or against GM crops as a way to confront the Malthusian dilemma.
3) We know that climate change is creating new circumstances for natural selection in an accelerated form. But is climate change such a bad thing? Species come and go, the world won’t end. What do you say to that? Agree or disagree.
So tell me what you think of race, racism, White privilege, Police killings of Blacks, and others. How does our history set up this situation? Why do we have all the negative statistics for groups in the inner cities, where the policies that were created at the federal, state, and regional levels created these low-income areas, and created suburbs where many whites have fled, and then those people who can afford it, live in the suburb communities with gates and security to protect them from the people who are low income, mostly Black and others of color? So where does this Anti-Blackness come from? How do the social structures of our communities and culture reinforce white privilege and racism and particularly Anti-Blackness?
So, please let us understand race as historical, political, and social. Look at the social structure of the West, can we change society by changing people’s hearts and minds? When so many people do not accept there is anything called White privilege, how can we? How do you dismantle race with the tools that created it in the first place? Can you?
Read the following: An Investigation of Campus Stereotypes: The Myth of Black Athletic Superiority and the Dumb Jock Stereotype by Gary A. Sailes [PDF] Skin Deep by N. Jablonski and George Chaplin [PDF] Black, White, Other by Jonathan Marks [PDF] According to these readings, are racial classifications constructed based on aspects of biology or culture? What does it mean to say that genes are “probabilistic rather than deterministic”? How are racial classifications different throughout US history or in other places around the world? Why is ethnicity a more inclusive categorization method?
If you were walking in the woods and came upon some bones, what would you need to do in order to preserve the scientific value of your discovery? What are some important scientific principles of excavation that you would need to follow? What type of anthropologists would you ask to help you to better analyze your discovery? What would be some important questions you would try to find out about these bones? What information could anthropologists provide about the bones and the life of the person or animal that they belong to? What ethical issues and laws should you think about before you begin your excavation and analysis?
Atlas Moving Company advertises as follows: “We are the ones who care. Trust our people to move your most cherished possessions as carefully as you would.”
Glen, a professional pianist, and harpsichordist, is famed for his modern interpretation of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. On moving from New Haven to Los Angeles to become a pianist in residence at the University of Southern California, Glen hired Atlas to move his valued antique harpsichord, along with other household furniture. The month was April, and one Larson (an experienced mover for Atlas) picked up and loaded Glen’s possessions on the 12th and drove straight to Los Angeles, arriving there on the 16th. When the shipment arrived, Glen discovered a deep crack in the inner casing of the harpsichord, which severely impaired its tonal quality.
Glen sues Atlas for $20,000, supporting his damage claim with expert testimony. Glen himself testifies that he plays the instrument nearly every day and that it was in perfect condition when Atlas picked it up in New Haven.
Atlas introduces the deposition of Keenan, another accomplished keyboard artist in New Haven. The transcript contains Keenan’s testimony that he played Glen’s harpsichord in New Haven and noticed the crack in the casing at the time, along with impaired tonality.
At the close of the evidence, Glen requests the court to instruct the jury that if it finds that the harpsichord was undamaged when Larson picked it up, it must find Atlas responsible for damage to the instrument.
