3.00 Credits
This course begins with a brief survey of topics and approaches of cultural anthropologists: their questions, their methods, and their cross-cultural comparisons. It focuses on culture, traditions, and the pervasive processes of change which are applicable to the study of all societies. Topics include environment and ecology, the regulation of membership, symbolic messages and rituals, cultural transmission, and control of behavior. The course focuses on questions rather than answers, for students should find things out for themselves in an active way rather than passively through absorbing abstract knowledge. The latter part of the course involves students in identifying and researching a topic of interest in the St. Andrews or Laurinburg communities.
