Why do cultural universals exist?
Today we presented our Rites of Passage projects. This project highlighted cultural universals & variations. Each group should have turned in their proof of research, citation page, & powerpoint.
Next, we studied the Arapesh & Mundugamor cultures that were observed in Mead's case study of emotional dispositions. We highlighted each culture's values & norms and then attempted to answer why there were variations despite close proximity & similar societies.
Then we used a worksheet to test our ability to distinguish ethnocentrism from cultural relativism. We answered & discussed this in class.
For the remainder of class, we worked on Set 2 of vocabulary.
*Be prepared for a quiz on Friday along with binder checks.
