Q1. Should she stay in the tribe or go help the man? Explain your answer A. She should stay with the tribe rather than go to help the banished individual so she can continue her research that she came there to do. The banished individual is obviously seen as a threat to the tribe’s environment and their health, and by staying with the tribe she would be able to learn more about their understanding of disease and how they deal with these things. If she were to leave, there could be so much that she would miss out on because she would not be allowed back in since they would think she is a witch for not contracting smallpox after being exposed to it. The individual will most likely die anyways after being secluded from the rest of the tribe even if he does receive food from her, so it is best that she just stays with the community. Q2. What are the potential consequences of not being able to study the community, in exchange for helping one individual? A. The potential consequences are that she would not be allowed back in to continue her studies, she can’t try to explain what the modern medicine is and how it …show more content…
What issues and problems does the case raise and why? (Identify at least 2 issues) A. This case raises an issue for the anthropologist in deciding which of the two scenarios she should choose. Should she stay and continue her studying, or should she help someone that has been thrown out of their own community and risk her study of the tribe? This also brings the obvious issue of ethics because she has to decide which of these two scenarios, is the more ethical of the two. Would it be more ethical to continue her studies and leave the individual out there alone? Or would it be more ethical to go out and risk her study by bringing him food? Q6. What are courses of action the anthropologist could follow and what would be the negative and positive consequences of each? (Identify at least 2 positive consequences, and 2 negative consequences, and explain each
In the world of fitness many are used to only focusing their time in one form of exercise ;however, there has been somewhat a movement in the fitness world where many say it’s not enough. Where people who only do light yoga are now entering powerlifting and vise versa, this has created the question of is this crossing of exercise actually good for the individual when it’s in a group setting to make the person actually want to exercise. The tribe mentality is a good for people who want to stick with their plans, find new outlets for exercise, and make new friend.
In Life, you can’t force people to do something they don’t want to do or be someone they’re not. In the historical fiction novel The Poisonwood Bible, Orleanna Price experiences such a rough quarrel and becomes cut off from her hometown. Orleanna Price who is Nathan’s wife becomes indignant with her husband’s decisions to take a missionary trip to the Congo. She was a very intelligent woman but because of her husband behavior she is sometimes forced to hide her own talents from others. The Price family experience while being in the Congo started to drift their family away from each other as a whole. They were not mentally or physically stable to fit in Africa but with the help of others they were able to get along in the Congo. Mama Mwanza
“Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging”, by Sebastian Junger, is an insightful examination of the flaws of a modernized society. Through scientific evidence and first-hand accounts, the book explores the correlation between a nation’s level of modernness and it’s rates of mental illness. Junger careful choice of words and phrasing shows that he is not arguing that a tribal society is better than a modern society- as “there’s no use arguing that modern society isn’t a kind of paradise” - but is instead proposing a blend of both society’s beneficial qualities (Junger 108). His chronological writing style within “Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging” allows for the development of his argument. Particularly focusing upon Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in veterans, Junger utilizes accounts from Vietnam War and World Wars to bring light to the “antihuman society” set forth by our modernized ways (Junger 93).
“Will my tribe forget the tradition?” This is a line from the poem Tribal Land by Dale Backo. This poem is about an Aboriginal man worrying for the future of his tribe, all his worries are from the fact that the “white man” is taking over their land and everything they own. Towns are being built, shops and new technology is being introduced which is changing everything they once knew.
There are hundreds of Native American tribes and millions of people that are within North America that identify themselves as Native Americans. Each tribe has their own unique customs, language, and myths. However, within the confines of this paper I will take a broad view with regards to Native American customs and traditions from a small sample of tribes that were observed prior to the vast expansion of colonizing the west.
The first contemporary issue that Native American face is their right to prosecute crimes such as rapes against their community. Native American women suffer from being the target
Do peace, unity, and equality still exist this day in time among groups of people? Are we influenced by our environment to associate our way of seeing things and create language based on that fact? How we view the environment around us helps shape our understanding by creating language to give it meaning. Based on the linguistic data of the recently discovered tribe, we can draw conclusions about the tribe’s climate and terrain, diet, views on family and children, system of government and attitude towards war. This data shows that the lost tribe was an isolated group that lived in a valley, coexisted in unison, valued life, had high regards for
The strange diseases that went throughout the tribe were known as smallpox, pneumonia, influenza, malaria, measles, cholera, and whooping cough. Little did the family know, that their mother (Amadahy) was coming down with smallpox? They had no doctors to help Amadahy. All they could do was pray and sing for their poor mother. Adsila was growing eminently worried for Amadahy’s
The ethical dilemma concerns the client’s best interest vs do no harm. The case worker is attempting to determine the best placement for each of the sisters, together or separately. All client systems must be considered carefully in order to prevent harm to either parties. In order to make a
Just like men, women were seeking for a better life, economic, and freedom of religion. Perhaps, they were treated as equally as men, if there were not enough food, women would not be the first one to eat or get full. But at the same time, the amount of works they putted in were not, or even more, less than what men did. For example, Judith Giton, she was one of the refugees, wrote:” I have been six months without tasting bread, working like ground slave; and I have even passed three and four years without having food when I wanted it.” The author used this evidence to show the audience the role of women in the early age of America, they still need to put a lot of effort into farming and building the community, but then their contributions were totally ignored by the society. Furthermore, the introduction of “civilization”-European influence-brought about decline in female status, specifically Indians females, they were viewed as more susceptible to religion and moral coercion, the white disagreed of strong roles for women, they distorted images of Indian women as well as men to support their own political and economic drives to dominate, and drain Indian cultures. Speaking of an Indian woman, Tekakawiha (Lily of the Mohawks), she joined the Catholic Church at the age of eighteen, but still then earned her the enmity of tribal leader. This is showing the women do play a major roles within Indian tribe, as it was their cultures and religion (such as mother of earth), but the the whites wanted males to dominate politically and economically, then this believes started to fade, not as vivid as
“There one of them asked me why I wept; I could hardly tell what to say, yet I answered they would kill me. ‘No,’ said he, ‘none will hurt you.’ Then came one of them and gave me two spoonfuls of meal to comfort me, and another gave me half pint of peas which was more worth than many bushels at another time.”(71). The Natives showed her great affection with was not expected of them from her puritanical views. Although she knew no harm would come to her she expected to leave “them” as soon as possible.
In this essay, I will be creating a discourse on anthropological activism and how it relates to the basic principles of anthropology, whilst referring to the case study Activist Anthropologists by Victoria Sanford. I will provide my anthropological views on this subject based on my research.
This case had several ethical, legal and professional ramifications, including aspects of cultural differences between non-indigenous and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients. There is a requirement for counsellors to actively understand the diverse cultural backgrounds, and differences in behaviour of their clients; stated in; The Australian Counselling Association (ACA-Au., 2008); Code of Conduct (2, 2.1), American Counselling Association (ACA, US, 2005), Code of Ethics (A.2c; B.1a; c.2a) and Education Queensland (EQ) Code of Conduct (1994) 2.1.1, and Education Queensland (EQ) (2008) Ethical Code, and Watson, Herlihy & Pierce, 2006.
The use of a case for exam purposes can help the instructor understand a student’s depth of understanding of the material. Points can be taken off if they fail to identify the ethical issues and important stakeholders or justify their decision relative to their stated moral philosophy base. To help you with this exam type we have included three cases that can be used for exam purposes.
Leadership is defined in Webster’s Dictionary as the “action of leading a group of people or an organization.” Leadership is also the ability to set trends, inspire, motivate, and sway others to produce desired results. There are different styles and ways of performing leadership and a good leader has the ability to take ordinary people, put them all together, and hopefully yield successful results. For organizations to have sustained results from their performance there must be a good balance of business insight, technical and interpersonal skills, and good team dynamics. A leader must know how to use all these areas as well as trust and communicate with their people in
