But the film crew had provided no medical assistance to the woman while the woman was dying. (Borofsky, 2005, p.32)
At present, the Yanomami have serious health problems that have nothing to do with their military ideology, mythological or real, and the AAA not followed through on its commitment to devise appropriate responses to the current and future conditions of the Yanomami. It has a responsibility to clear the tribe's reputation and to provide the tribe with appropriate health care and support. Despite the fact Neel has financially profited from his work, the tribe did not, and suffers from malaria, flu, and a higher rate of diabetes, like many indigenous peoples. (Borofsky, 2005, p.64)
Furthermore, the unfair portrayal...
The AAA credo may be to do "no harm," to not intervene in native societies, but one of its members has already intervened and done harm. This parallels the way that many colonial nations did harm to native society, forever upsetting tribes' delicate social and environmental relationships. Neel did further damage by creating a media environment that deprived the tribe of other sources of sympathy and support. (Borofsky, 2005, p.86) The AAA must renew its commitment to set more stringent initial research standards, to publicly chastise poor research practices in the field, and to clear this tribe's name and raise financial support through the AAA's media venues.

Yours truly, concerned student of anthropology
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,
