I have always wondered why I was put on Earth. What do I bring to the table that this world needs? But with anthropology, I think I have found my calling. I never knew what my purpose was until I took a humanitarian trip to Malawi, a little country on the eastern side of Africa. During my time there I realized what I wanted to do with my life; I want to help people. I believe I can do this through anthropology. Anthropology is the study of humans and cultures, and through this field, I can…

collected from one author can be presented in a completely different way by another. This arose between Franz Boas and Benjamin Lee Whorf from Boas’ primary source. To clarify, a primary source is a piece of original material which involves original thinking and the sharing of new ideas. Whatever is wrote in this primary material is reliable and accurate at that time of publication. Boas wrote the source in 1911 which discussed that the English language had a variety of different roots relating…

Culture is the total system of ideas, values, behaviours, and attitudes of a society commonly shared by most members of a society. According to Statistics Canada, the NHS Profile of 2011 displays that Canada’s population of 32 852 320 is made up of 20.6% immigrants. This also implies that a potential of a fifth of Canada’s population has brought along the characteristics of their practiced culture from their former country. Canada comprises of multiple cultures such as Canadian, English, French,…

Indeed, Dr. Mead has contributed a significant amount of her theories to anthropology, in order to enhance the field and allow the public to be included in the collaboration of anthropological work.

Margaret Mead was a popular American writer, cultural, and visual anthropologist. Throughout her career, Margaret Mead has conducted over twenty field trips (Yans-McLaughlin 2000). In addition, Mead’s fieldwork focused on the development and growth of adolescents. The reason why I chose Margaret Mead is because of the tremendous contributions that she has made to the field of anthropology and the public. In addition, I find it very astounding that Mead “offers a resolution of the old apparent…

State college, this time majoring in psychology and sociology, graduating with his bachelors in 1923, and then receiving his masters from Columbia one year later. Even though White attended Columbia at the same time as Franz Boas was a professor, he was never was taught by Boas, but rather by a Boassian student by the name of Alexander…

ethnologist Augustus Pitt Rivers and early 20th century anthropologist Franz Boas each had very different approaches to material culture; they had different ways of understanding objects, and this guided the ways they organized and displayed them in museums. Pitt Rivers believed material culture could be used to illustrate the evolution of humans and technology, arranging museum displays to show progression of complexity. Boas believed material culture served to inform observers of the…

Unlike, the etic which is the outsider point of view but using hypothesis and theory to apply it to a…

anthropological methods/theories crush on Franz Boas. Born into a liberal German family, Boas was allowed to explore a variety of topics in fields that caught his attention, including: the natural sciences, geography, history and culture. After earning a Ph.D. in physics and a brief stint in the military Boas began a yearlong scientific expedition to Baffin Island in northern Canada to collect ethnographic data on Inuit culture. This expedition rooted Boas into the field of anthropology and his…
