Description:

3 units 3 hours weekly Advisory: Eligibility for College Level Reading and ENGL 099. This course provides an introduction to the study of human culture. It is a general survey of human culture and variation the world over. Emphasis is placed on identifying the basic elements common to all human cultures and developing an understanding of the significance of both similarities and differences in cultural expression. An appreciation of the significance of ethnic and/or cultural diversity is stressed, as well as a basic understanding of the fundamental characteristics shared by all human cultures. The course provides an explanatory framework for cultural difference, both in the past and in the modern world. It also discusses ethnocentrism as a barrier to cross-cultural understanding. All of this provides an important basis for discussions of ethnic diversity within our own society as well as around the world. [CAN ANTH 4] (CSU, UC, AVC)
