Some of the author's explanations about Chinese society were a little difficult to understand but I was able to understand the two major themes apparent in the analysis. First, there would appear to be something about Chinese society and culture that might be responsible for generating intense levels of personal frustration and even rage in many individuals, especially men. All of the perpetrators were middle aged men and even though they came from different socioeconomic and professional backgrounds, each of them had recently experienced intense personal frustration whether in connection with maintaining employment or a relationship with a woman, or in connection with building a house on a piece of property. The authors explained how Chinese society places intense pressure on men to assume the position of power and responsibility in the family and that there is also significant social pressure with respect to earning capacity and success in that regard. That might explain only the rage felt by middle aged men whose lives were not necessarily...
Conceivably, all of those factors plus perhaps having seen the intensity of the news coverage because the first attack of this nature targeted children played a role in that choice. According to that theory, all of these men experienced similar frustration and decided to lash out against society in the harshest way they could. Given the role of children in Chinese families, that meant targeting children for maximum effect of their actions. Finally, the authors do not include a psychological analysis, but it would also seem conceivable that frustrated middle age adults socialized in a repressive society would develop resentment against children because of the hope and freedoms still available to children. They might have resented anybody who was still at a stage of life where they could make better choices or begin a more fulfilling life…
Anthropology: The Fundamental Social Science Anthropology is, according the American Anthropological Association, "the study of humans, past and present" (AAA, 2011). Anthropology looks at what it means to be human; it is "a field of inquiry that studies human culture and evolutionary aspects of human biology, including cultural anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and biological anthropology" (Jurmain, Kilgore, & Trevathan 2006: 6). It, therefore, is the fundamental social (and behavioral) science discipline that
Anthropology Career: Anthropology can broadly be defined as the study of humanity based on its evolutionary origins in the past millions of years and its current global diversity. Unlike other disciplines that focus on one or another aspect of humanity, anthropology focuses on how people plan their lives and relate to each other in interacting, interconnected groups or societies with similar beliefs and practices. Anthropologists share many interests with other disciplines
Religion is an inherent part or element of a culture or society, and this must be viewed in the context of the society/culture in which this religion developed and thrived. It must be considered that all religions give credit to humanity's existence through a certain god / goddess (or in the case of polytheistic religions, gods/goddesses). Differences across religions lie only on the traditions observed, roles assumed by each
Although the writer explained his honest opinion, he still showed respect to the people concerned and his reasons sound fair enough for the Yanomami and other indigenous people. The fourth letter indicated some direct criticisms to the AAA organization. The writer explained facts based from his study and in turn explained his comments and criticisms which are also based from factual information that he had researhed on. As compared to
Cultural Construction -- Fundamental beliefs, definitions, behaviors, and relationships that are attributable to social learning and culture-specific expectations rather than to biology. What is participant observation and what are the advantages of it (please use the virtual reality game (Second Life) as an example. Participant observation is a type of anthropological, sociological, and other research-based disciplines in which the researcher can become directly and intimately involved with specific populations of research subjects.
Anthropology, in the broadest sense of the term, is concerned with the whole history of mankind: man in the context of evolution. Yet this is a difficult position to take because being concerned with man as he occurs and as he has occurred means that the body and the soul must be taken into consideration together and the differences in man associated with time and location must be investigated. Still,
