A Cultural Anthropologist's Knowledge About An Ancient Civilization

According to the Guest textbook, what is cultural anthropology (summarize in your own words in a sentence or two), and what is a key method used to conduct research in cultural anthropology. How does one employ this method, according to Guest (pp. 7-19)?

Ancient civilizations have had profound effects of what we know as the modern world today. The primary purpose for anything that lives is to survive. Throughout history animals, plants and humans have adapted to their surroundings. All living things have changed throughout time. The thing that differs humans from rest is, humans are more cognitively advanced. Over the course of time the shape and size of the human skull has changed. The size of the human brain has increased, which has allowed humans to adapt more to their surroundings. To survive, humans were making tools for hunting and to cut with. The closer you lived to the equator the darker your skin may have been, so you could adapt to the intensity of the sun’s rays. If you lived further

Way back in the ancient cultures beliefs’ and faith played a major roll in their lifetime. It treasured the art that spoke to them and made them closer to god, since writing was not indicate back then. Some believed in only one god, some in many gods and some people believed in objects like animals, the sun, items and even the weather. After visiting the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth and observing some of the ancient Egyptian art collection displayed, I have decided to pick the theme of God to inform about. After my research, I discovered new and different key points about the Egyptian beliefs in god and how it affects us in our world today. My first object is the Kneeling Statue of Senenmut, Chief Steward of Queen Hatshepsut, the second object is Red-Figure Cup Showing the Death of Pentheus (exterior) and a Maenad (interior) and the last object is the Head of a Ewe.

I'm excited, it is my first visit with my somewhat new gynecologist. I have met him before, but this will be my first official exam done by him. He's so hot and his voice melts my heart each time I hear it. I'm in the waiting room, patiently watching the gynecology waiting room clock, go round and round. I began to watch the clock hands spin, and I began to drift off into deep thought, until I was interrupted. "Miss Peterson? The doctor will see you now." The young blonde assistant gingerly spoke "Oh great. Thank you, Ma'am." I thanked, as I walked into my doctor's office. To my surprise the office was empty, so I took a quick seat next to the examination table. My heart began to race as I saw all of the various tools and equipment precisely

According to the book “The Heritage of World Civilizations Volume II: Since 1500”, mercantilism is an economic system. This system took place during the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries, widespread trade challenges took place around the world (Text 498). Mercantilism is a term to describe a system where the goal is to increase a nation’s wealth. Financial writers supposed that the only way the nation can increased a better trade stability is by containing gold and silver. The way the government wanted to control the economy was by gathering metals and also by maximizing exports. In order for the nation to be called wealthy they had to have accumulated more precious metal than its enemies. The mercantilist statesmen and also the traders

Cultural Anthropology was not something I ever thought I would be interested in. During this class I have learned many new things about other people and how they live. This is by far my favorite class this semester and I just love hearing about other people’s way of life. So, with my newfound love for cultural anthropology I decided to write about one of the most influential female anthropologists. I decided to write about Margaret Mead. I want to discuss her early life. Then, move on to her life as an anthropologist. Lastly, I would like to discuss her contributions to today’s cultural anthropology.

I read and started perusing and composing the names of structures and the engineers that appeared to be engaging. After, I turned every building upward online to see the picture; the real structure and by inclination I started to wipe out and select the ones I discovered generally fascinating. This limited down the rundown I had and made if much effective to start a more significant examination. The objective of discovering a book at the library kept up, I then went to the Texas Tech Library catalog and typed in all the buildings I found. Twilight of examination I chose to step back, and begin once again. I required a less complex arrangement, for example, considering more contemporary structures that still connected to the Egyptian Revival

Interdisciplinary studies is a cognitive process by which individuals or groups draw on disciplinary perspectives and integrate their insights and modes of thinking to advance their understanding of a complex problem with the goal of applying the understanding to a real world problem (Refko, Szostak, & Buchberger, 2014). It is a process of drawing on more than one discipline’s unique view of reality, using advanced understanding, and being able to tackle a complex problem or question through the integration of insights. Interdisciplinary work is a means to achieve an outcome that can assume and abstract or

The differences in ancient cultures are prominent. From different civilizations we see different creations taking place. Through studying these differences we can see what is different between civilizations and their culture, values and art. We are also able to study these and make connections between them. Some items which we can compare and contrast are sculptures and relief sculptures, paintings in the old, middle and new kingdoms, innovations of the new kingdom and basic conventions early art endures.

For as long as humans have been around we have had cultural traditions specific to our species. The goal of archaeological research is to obtain a broad understanding of human culture. Archaeologists are interested in studying culture in the past and in the present through material remains. Remains include anything that was created or modified for use by humans. By studying culture in this way we gain insight into how different communities lived in different areas of the world. We see how our ancestors lived and how culture has changed over time as our ancestors adapted to their environments.

In the Archaeological Theory in Practice textbook, the positive legacies of Culture History are detailed by V. Gordon Childe’s archaeological theory processes. It emphasized that cultural History subdivided historical societies into distinct ethnic and cultural groups by their physical culture, rejecting a comparative method and independent cultural development, with documentation reflecting the development of specific groups have distinctive set of traits unique to each cultural group. It explained change was caused by diffusion and migration in which research with spatial and temporal time and space systematics to shape cultural forms over time that determine human behavior. Each culture has importance in origins and is a unique

Cultural Anthropologists view all aspects of human nature in order to generate an accurate representation of society. It is imperative that anthropologists engage themselves in fieldwork in pursuance to increase understanding among people of the world. Anthropologists found that by becoming an active participant rather than an observer, they are more likely to be accepted as a member. By becoming an insider, it allows the anthropologist to accurately view the range of cultural behavior within a society and draw a conclusion based on their findings, which in turn increases understanding among people of the world.

Stories told through the lens of science are narrated by patterns as well as the breakdown of driving active processes of natural phenomena. Repulsion, which is a form of opposition and fusion are two of these active processes. Fusion describes a harmonious process of unification of two or more things in nature. Repulsion is the process in which two or more things repel and oppose each due to the forces of nature. Whether an active process, or its result, is ephemeral or permanent, many spatial conditions are defined or redefined to standards to which they operate by. This paper looks at examples of fusion and opposition drawn from natural microscopic and macroscopic phenomena. Not only that this paper will unearth phenomena within the natural sciences, it will also draw inspirations from fields and concepts within sociology, politics, history, and culture; a much needed dialogue in today’s global society. By doing so, the intention is to extract as many cases of how two opposing things come together and unify, and how this confrontation is spatially defined. How could we apply these conditions to solve architectural and spatial problems conceived through the subjection of one thing on another.
