1. How did the armchair anthropology and the off-the-veranda approaches differ as methods to study culture? What can be learned about a culture by experiencing it in person that cannot be learned from reading about it? 2. Why is the concept of culture difficult to define? What do you think are the most important elements of culture? 3. Why is it difficult to separate the “social” from the “cultural?” Do you think this is an important distinction? 4. In the twenty-first century, people have much greater contact with members of other cultures than they did in the past. Which topics or concerns should be priorities for future studies of culture? 1. Armchair anthropology studies a culture from a distance without being present to observe it; therefore, this approach relies heavily on analyzing secondary sources to gain knowledge about a culture. Other in-person methods allow a person to gain a deeper understanding of the culture by living with the people to see how they interact. 2. The concept of culture is difficult to define because there are a vast majority of cultures that shape each region; therefore, each culture is unique and has its own characteristics. 3. "Social" and "cultural" can be challenging to separate because they influence each other since cultural beliefs and practices shape social norms and values. Because of this, understanding the relationship between these concepts is important because these concepts can provide insight into how societies function. 4. Increased exposure to different cultures encourages future studies to prioritize the importance of cultural awareness, understanding, and acceptance because it is essential to learn how to respect other cultures and practices. In addition, studying the impact different cultures have on the world allows us to create a more diverse and inclusive society.
