Culture and Personality in Anthropology
Read the section about Culture and Personality in Anthropology. Answer these questions about that section:-
1. Define “Anthropology” in your own words: The study of human history and culture.
2. Define “movement” in this context: The migration of people.
3. What do you understand by “socialization of children” Give an example: This is where your culture tells you how you raise your children.
4. Read this sentence again and give examples of childrearing in different societies and cultures: “socialization creates personality patterns. It helps shape people’s emotions, thoughts, behaviors, cultural values and norms to fit into and function as productive members in the surrounding human society. The study of culture and personality demonstrates that different socialization practices such as childrearing in different societies (cultures) result in different personality types.”
Consider “bed time” in different cultures; Some Emirati families do not have a set bed time for the children. In most Western cultures, children often do have a specific bed time.
5. Read this sentence again and say to what extent you agree: “all humans are the same when born, but childrearing in different societies causes deviations in behavior and personalities from each other.” I totally agree with this statement.
