WCSBS 104 - Culture in Anthropology

Institution:

Westminster College (Salt Lake City)

Subject:

Description:

Learn about how sociocultural anthropology looks at the different ways groups throughout the world construct their reality through the interrelationship of systems of communication, kinship and marriage patterns, gender and sexuality, beliefs in the supernatural, patterns of subsistence, and various political and economic systems. When taught as a Learning Community, the primary focus will be on the interrelationships of sexuality, gender, kinship, and marriage. By comparing the ways that people behave in different cultures, you will begin to understand the abstract concept of culture and how important it is in shaping ideas. May be taken as an alternative to ANTH 252 as one of the requirements for the anthropology minor. (WCore: WCSBS and RE)
