Anthropology Observation

Produce procurement, a long-studied topic in cultural anthropology, defines the everyday interactions relating to values and norms as well as power through a simple outlet: food. For this ethnographic observation: produce procurement, I decided to observe one of the bigger grocery store chains, Jewel. It was here, where I observed different views and concepts relating to food venues, specifically grocery stores, that are important to both producer and consumer in aesthetic, type of produce, demographic, and communication.

What is anthropology? This is a question that can be answered in numerous ways, but we are going to define it as simple as possible. If we break the word down into its two components it means the study of human beings. “Anthropo” means human beings or human kind and “logy” or “logia” is Greek for the study or knowledge of something. When we put it all together, it is the study of human beings which can be very broad. Anthropology can be broken down into four subfields: physical anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, and cultural anthropology.

The North Hanover Mall is an average shopping center with various stores and small attractions. Typically, the mall is not over-crowded; however, during the evenings and weekends it is well-traveled. There are the average chain stores such as JCPenny’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Hallmark, and Bath and Body Works. Likewise, there are some smaller, lesser known stores, for example, a few nail and hair salons, cafes, a pizza shop, and a sports apparel store. In general, there is a diverse mix of people shopping, from ethnicity to ages and group sizes. The night I choose to do my social observation the mall was much busier than I had anticipated. There was a Halloween event and an antique car show; both circumstances brought more individuals than usual into the shopping complex.

He continues to maintain positive working relationships with her team members, co-workers, supervisors, clients, and other departments in the building, and outside community agencies. He has worked hard to develop positive relationships with hospital social workers. Case # 231-00049 was a difficult case as the hospital could not find placement for the Reported Adult due to his severe unstable history of mental illness. The hospital social worker wanted Ryan to call nursing homes/facilities along highway 70 W towards Kansas City to find placement for the RA. She also wanted Ryan to find facilities out of state for the RA. Ryan continued to stay professional. He continued to reiterate to the social worker that it was her responsibility to find placement for the RA as he was in the protective custody of the hospital. Ryan continued to follow up with the hospital social worker every couple of weeks to see if placement has been found. Eventually the RA moved with relatives in Florissant. Ryan does willingly accept overflow hotlines from other teams when short staffed. He also make telephone calls to priority #1 clients to check on them to see if they need anything, or if they have supports in place to assist them after there has been power outages in the area, or inclement weather may be preventing them from going outside.

Modern Culture instills a misguided perception of why charitable acts are performed. In Alfie Kohn’s article, “ The Wrong Way to Get People to Do the Right Thing,” the author uses research evidence, from newspaper articles, to explain his thesis that rewards and praise promotes charitable acts. This article exposes the sad truth behind the natural tendency for human generosity.

Horticulture is defined as "the production of plants using a simple nonmechanized technology" (Nanda and Warms 2006:148), while Webster's Dictionary defines horticulture as the art or science of growing fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, or trees. When most people think of horticulture, they simply think of gardening or farming. Most people do not associate horticulture with culture itself or how horticulture relates to anthropology, or the study human culture. In all actuality, horticulture is a major part of cultural anthropology. The groups that hunt and grow food, and the associated eating rituals or ceremonies associated with food differs by culture or environment.

As our society evolved, my vision of the world has been changing drastically. The biggest change occurred when I came to the U.S. This happened due to fact, that in America I have more opportunities of being in contact with the ever changing technology. Even though, I came to America with a master’s degree technologically, I was behind, because in Mexico, the country in which I grew and was educated, used to have very limited technological advancements for the whole population. Therefore, I learned in America how to use the Internet, e-mailing, texting, and using a smart phone. Of course, Mexico is different today. As a consequence, when I lived in Mexico, my world view was limited to the issues, routines, and traditions of that country. Then, I came to America, believing that this country was genuinely multicultural. Fortunately, dealing with different cultures was not an issue, because my Mexican family is racially mixed, and I learned to appreciate different cultures, since my early childhood.
