Margaret Mead from the beginning had a peaked interest in the intricate details of others’ lives. These desires stemmed from what I believe to be her own desire to find out who she in fact was herself. Her exploration to other lands, was not only to find out how different people were from her, but how very much they were the same. Mead’s forward-thinking mind has

This class was extremely interesting. Being an older student, I have had the opportunity to live all over the United States from the west coast to the east coast and many places in between, including a year each in Germany and Hawaii. I have been exposed to many different cultures, religions, peoples, lifestyles, and beliefs. But, this sociology class has exposed me to new ideas which is what learning is supposed to accomplish. Three things that stood out for me is how ancient traditions are still part of modern cultures, how some traditions within a culture may be viewed as abusive by other people, and how defining something as deviant is not always the same as time goes by.

My family culture has been a big part of my life even through the changes my life has taken. Every year, my family celebrates Thanksgiving and Christmas. The locations and the faces may change, but the ritual of spending the holidays together remain a highlight of the year. Since living in Indiana, I have spent Thanksgiving with my father’s family in Spencer and have traveled back home to Delaware to be with my immediate family during Christmas. This has been a routine of mine for the past several years and it has allowed me to grow closer with family members I used to never see.

Raymond Williams (Hutchison, 2011) said “culture is one of the two or three most complicated words in the English language” (p. 247). When I thought of culture, I used to picture food, festivities, clothes and country. Just like the nurse, I thought that if learned about one culture, I understood everybody in that culture. But as I started expanding my knowledge the meaning of culture started becoming harder to define. Different subjects seemed to have different definitions of what culture is. The idea expanded until it was not just a check list but “a set of common understandings, manifest in act and artifact. It is in two places at once: inside somebody’s head as understandings and in the external environment as act and artifact” (Hutchison, 2011, p. 246). The definition above explains why social workers need to learn cultural humility. It clarifies that because culture is both behavior and act, it is interpreted differently by different people. In other words, two people can be from the same exact place and still have different cultures.

Cultural tradition is how humans differ from other species and shows a form of a higher thought process. In different parts of the world we can see the variation of cultures we have. Not all cultures and cultural traditions have made it to the present and we don’t know which will still be around in the future. These “lost” cultures and cultural traditions are typically remembered with a sense of a sorrow because they are not with us anymore. One of the various causes of cultural tradition loss is by new groups of people inhabiting or influencing the location of where these cultural traditions are seen, used, and practiced. Influences can be on the physical space, languages, and religious practices. The new groups of people, in this case, are immigrants that are coming into different states both by choice and by necessity.

Although referred to as the “competing values framework” the mainstay of this theory is to recognize the many dynamics aspects it takes in managerial personnel to effectively operate a financially sound organization. Although sufficient in describing the four differencing administration styles, controller, competitor, creator and the clan leader, this framework limits itself by conflicting each value as independently working against one another instead of encompassing a wraparound approach as used in Public Health, seen in (appendix A) where more fluid dynamics interplay in both the internal and external aspects of the agency providing for more client-centered, population-focused, community-based services through well-matched system approaches. Of note, not one of the four identified approaches has been proven to be more effective than another, however in totality, much like an interdisciplinary team approach to services, when incorporated equally, each skill set complements the overall goal of the agency.

One of the techniques and or methods that Margaret Mead used in her fieldwork was direct interviews, here she sat down with people of the Island of Ta'u and asked them questions. Often this type of research caused answerers to lack depth, a issue anthropologist Derek Freeman accused her when she wrote Coming of Age in Samoa. In addition to direct interview Margaret Mead also used a technique known as participant observation. Here Margaret participated in the culture she was doing research on as well as simply observing it. Finally participatory approach was another method use by Margaret here she lived withing the community, eat as they did, acted as they did and shares this life with the world through their ethnography. Do to the lack of

Have you ever questioned anything in life? Like many people throughout the world you probably answered yes, and with that the door to exploration is open. There are many living things on the beautiful earth and human beings are a group that share this thing called religion amongst them selves. Who, what, where, how, and why are just a few ways of asking about something but is it ok to question your religion? All your teachings, everything you have seen, what exactly does it mean; if it means anything at all. Throughout the reading you will learn about what is religion, and some of the practices involved from around the world.

First of all, having different aspects on what direction to take is important and it needs to be the same for everyone in a way where it becomes a culture. Most people take the direction based on how culture places it and it just becomes part of life in a sense where one has to just go with it. If culture places an image on society then one must follow it in order to be open and feel comfortable in the position. Klein states, “If this picture seems extreme, it may only be because most of us in the West rarely see the fences and the artillery” (198). The author is trying to say that the West have not been able to see or have privilege towards the boundaries that society has placed. When Klein says, “rarely see” that is because culture has not changed them while it is becoming a natural system for others. If one were able to change and essentially “get with the program” then things would not be so different in the West.

Secondly, I chose Mead’s work Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, because it “completed the trilogy on these native cultures” (Flaherty 2002, 1). Simply put, not only do these works play a significant role in Mead’s life, but they hardly represent all of what Mead has done. In this anthropological research, Mead observes three tribes, “(1) the Arapesh, a hill tribe near the coast of Aitape, in the Mandated Territory of New Guinea, (2) the Mundugumor, on the Yuat (Dörferfluss), the second southern upstream tributary of the Sepik River, and (3) the Tchambuli, lake dwellers in the middle Sepik region” (Thurnwald 1936, 664). In the end, Mead’s work Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies concludes that “sex differences are not ‘something deeply biological,’ but rather are learned and, once learned, become part of the ideology that continues to perpetuate them” (Kimmel 2013, 60). Basically, Mead is saying that sex roles and behavior vary from culture to culture (Angus 2016). As a result, gender is developed primarily by socialization or based on one’s cultural environment (Angus 2016). Upon observing three different cultures, Mead was able to come to a conclusion that “in one culture, both the women and men were cooperative, in the second they were both ruthless and aggressive, and in the Thambuli culture the women were dominant and the men more submissive” (Flaherty 2002, 2). In this research, Mead was able to demonstrate that these three primitive

I have chosen to write about why cultural universals pose a problem for moral relativism in this paper. I will begin by defining cultural universals (CU). Then, I will cite examples of such theory and continue by applying them to situations in which these similarities can be seen. Next, I will discuss how we can convince ourselves that a given standard of behavior is in fact a cultural universal. I will then define moral relativism as well as provide examples of cultural differences that are often cited in regards of moral relativism. Lastly, I will explain how the existence of cultural universals undermines moral relativism.

Every culture has different beliefs on certain issues such as death, gender, and spiritual practices. Cultural beliefs influence the way patients understand health concepts and how they take care of themselves. Therefore, knowing a patients’ background and culture is a helpful key to solving certain problems. The Hispanic culture is an old and very unique culture that has strong beliefs concerning death, dying, gender, family, and spiritual practices.

This paper evaluated the Organization’s culture progressiveness between Nigeria, Cameroon and South Korea, but I am focusing Nigeria and South Korea using Alder’s (2008) questionnaire to determine results that reveal the cultural differences between both countries. Nigerian and South Korea are different cultures and there are forms of business agreement that are expected, a business negotiators are allowing to employ cultural experts, translators, outside attorneys, financial advisors or technical expert who have at least moderate and preferably high familiarity with both the two countries cultures. According to my interviewee revealed that South Korea cultures believed that agreements are expected to be legally binding. My interviewee (South Korea) reveals that Culture depends on the results, results depend on culture. She pointed out that Korean Leaders build company cultures around any set of desired results; market dominance, sales growth, technical excellence, ease of customers interaction, best-in-class quality, or stable earrings.
