    Description
    Cultural anthropology explores the social aspect of being human, in context with the multicultural approach. This course provides comparisons of all aspects of culture such as societal organization, economy, marriage and family, language development, gender issues, religion, and traditions and rituals. The development and evolution of culture groups is discussed in relation to how several of these groups successfully adapt to particular environments. Drawing from anthropology and other social sciences, the history and development of modern World System and its effect on culture groups worldwide is outlined. Grade Option.
