Cultural Anthropology

Length:​ The paper should be 5-6 well-written double-space pages.

Essay Question and Content​:

Throughout this course we have encountered how culture is dynamic, changing through the tensions of conformity and conflict. In your paper I want you to first explain anthropologically what is the concept of culture. Then, for the main portion of your paper I want you to explore how the Covid-19 pandemic ties into and is impacting concepts and topics we have touched on in this course. For instance; globalization, time-space compression, uneven developments, flexible accumulation, culture, nationalism, race and racism, social inequality and stratification etc. You do not have to use all of these concepts. Pick two or three of these concepts as your main topics.

As you are writing your essay, please make sure to pay attention to the following:

● Within your discussion you should not only define these terms (culture, gender, social stratification etc); it is also important that you apply these comments to examples from the Guest textbook.

● Besides the text, use examples from the lectures and from your own experiences to demonstrate your understanding of these concepts.

● Use a minimum of two sources from outside of the class that are from academic sources, such as peer reviewed journals and two sources from reputable newspapers or magazines (NY Times, New Yorker, Washington Post, New Yorker, The Atlantic, Harpers, The New Republic, The Nation, etc.)

● Please do not use Wikipedia.​ Try not to use direct quotes. When you do use examples or quotes, please provide proper author and page citations. For example (Guest:25). Use whatever style your discipline uses (APA, MLA, Chicago). Please provide a works cited page. This will not count towards your overall page count.

● If for personal reasons you do not want to write about the COVID-19 Pandemic please contact me and we can work out an alternative version of the paper​.
