Assignment 1: Ethnographic Comparison
Anthropologists are interested in framing broad hypotheses about human behavior. In order to do this, it is imperative to use examples from multiple cultures to ensure that their conclusions are not grounded in a single case.
In this assignment, you will be taking on the role of an ethnologist, using multiple ethnographic accounts to study human behavior and culture.
Do the following:

Identify two to three societies to compare such as African, Indian, Chinese, Korean, or Native American. Please note that these are suggested societies; you may choose something not on this list.
Choose one aspect of human culture discussed in the course:

Domestic life and kinship
Subsistence and economy
Religion
Culture change
Describe the background information of each of the societies you have chosen. You need not analyze this background information, only provide details regarding these societies.

Using the module readings, Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, write a research paper to include the following:

Describe the background information of each of the societies you have chosen. You need not analyze this background information, only provide details regarding these societies.
Analyze the aspect of human culture you selected for each of the societies.
Compare and contrast the similarities and differences between the societies in relation to the topic you chose—for example, standard of living, education, or employment opportunities.
Summarize and address human behavior in relation to your topic and based on your examples.

Address the realities of life for the cultures you have examined.
Examine some of the social problems and public policy issues that become apparent.

Your paper should have a title page as well as an introduction section. This introduction section should include the societies you selected as well as the human culture aspect you will be discussing and why it is relevant to anthropology. As an anthropologist, use relevant anthropological terms in your analysis.
Support your statements with examples and scholarly references.
Write a 4–6-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M5_A1.doc.

In what ways were your strategies satisfactory or unsatisfactory? Were the strategies you used successful? Explain why or why not. How much time did it take to use the various strategies? Were there any of the strategies that you would not use again? Would you consider experimenting with a different strategy in future situations?

Introduction
Expert critical thinking strategies are integral to successfully completing your college course work and advancing in your career.
