Anthro 1022, Fall 2021 ANTHRO 1022A: LAB 1 – Response Template Student Name : Remember to upload this template as a Word document (do not convert to Pages or PDF .( Part 1: Identify a ‘ cultural ’ trait · Culture can be considered very simply as ‘the way we do things’. In this simple definition, ‘we’ could be any group of people: a family, a group of friends, a club or sports team, fans of something or someone, a religion, or any other group of people that share some common aspect of identity. The term ‘way’ refers to ‘do things’, and it implies that the group shares some common aspects of behaviour or terminology within the group . · Think of any social group within which you identify and think of an aspect of ‘culture’ that is shared within that group (that people from outside of the group might not understand .( · Write a short description, in the form of a tweet (no more than 280 characters), describing the ‘cultural’ trait that you share with the group of your choice Part 1 Response : Part 2: Social transmission of cultural traits · Think about the method of transmission of the trait you described and answer the following questions. Record your answers in the question boxes in OWL. Who did you learn it from? Was it from your friends or others in a peer group? Your parents, grandparents, or great- grandparents? Did you learn this from an unrelated adult such as a teacher or instructor? Or, did you learn this through another source, such as the media, social media, or television ? · Was language necessary in transmission (either spoken or written ?( · Is technology necessary for the expression of this trait ? · Write a short description (no more than 150 words), describing the process of cultural learning involved in the trait, and reflecting on whether the trait differs in any significant ways from traits you observed in non-human primates . Lucille Goverde Student #: 251139144 In French culture, meal times are centred around the social aspect. Meals can be up to 6 courses, and will be eaten VERY slowly as those at the table are focused on socializing rather than eating. As a result, meals will last for hours, and usually there will still be food leftover.

Anthro 1022, Fall 2021 Part 2 Response : Grading Rubric · Please do not delete this rubric. The TAs will use this rubric to grade your discussion activity . · The discussion activity will be graded out of 10 marks Yes No (0 marks) Total Part 1 – Identification of a ‘cultural’ trait. 3 marks – the trait is clearly described and fulfils the definition of a ‘cultural’ trait: it is shared within a social group, is socially transmitted. A non-cultural (universal) trait is identified, or it is not socially transmitted 3 1 mark – The tweet is concise and clearly written, includes all expected elements 0.5 – the tweet is somewhat unclear 0 – unclear expression 1 Part 2 – social transmission and reflection 2 marks – a clear source of transmission is identified, and the role of language in social transmission is discussed Modes of transmission are not identified 2 This cultural trait is passed on by family members, typically parents or grandparents. Once an age is reached where solid food can be eaten, any meal eaten with family will comply with the trait of slow eating and prioritizing discussion over finishing food in a timely manner. It is observed through participation from a young age rather than verbally taught, therefore no language or technology is necessary for transmission, however language is used to communicate with each other (about things unrelated to this trait) DURING the meals . This trait is quite similar to affiliative behaviour in non-human primates, it could be viewed as a human example of food-sharing to maintain social bonds. The transmission of this trait is similar to affiliative behaviour in non-human primates as well, as it is learned through observation in childhood rather than through verbal expression. These long, drawn-out meals are an important way of maintaining social bonds for French people, the prioritization of socializing is what makes these meals long in the first place. This trait is dependent on the fact that meal times exist and that human families tend to eat with each other during these times, and on the use of language to engage in discussion during the meals.
