The main focus of this field is culture-the customs and beliefs of human groups. Anthropologists are especially fascinated by the great variety of the world's people and cultures; therefore, describing and attempting to understand and explain this cultural diversity is one of the discipline's major objectives. During the semester, students will examine the concept of culture, the diversity in adaptive strategies; diversity in kinship, marriage and family; economic systems; ideas about gender; political life; relationships with the supernatural; and social inequalities cross-culturally. Fulfills MnTC Goal Areas 5 and 8. Prerequisites: Placement into READ 1300 or completion of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; placement into ENGL 1110 or completion of ENGL 0900 or ESOL 0051.
