    Description
    This course will provide students with an introduction to culture theory as well as to the cross-cultural understanding of human behavior. Emphasis will be placed on subsistence strategies; marriage and kinship institutions; levels of sociopolitical organization; religious systems; and the effects of cultural change, mainly as the result of European expansion, industrialization, and globalization.
