1. Impact of anthropology for case management and health Professions. Anthropology is the science that studies human cultures. As her sources of information are the study of human societies and changes between them. Anthropologists exploring human behavior and activities, try to reach the definition of social and cultural phenomens. The

The Northern Long Eared Bat Do you like, or do you dislike bats like they are a cold? If you don’t, well you’ll dislike this paragraph because this one is all about the Northern long eared bat in North Dakota. The Northern long-eared bat has been on the endangered list since November 30, 1979, and frankly they aren’t bad for being bats. There are people trying to save this animal, like environmentalists, and there’s people who dislike these bats, like farmers and ranchers. The thing is, farmers and ranchers are the people who put them on the endangered list in the first place and they don’t realize it, but they are hunting them to try and save their families and animals from this bat. They also put themselves on the endangered list because

Northern Long-eared bats consume the insects that are posing a threat to our agriculture such as beetles, flies, and moths. If the Northern Long-eared bat became absent, our agriculture would be pushed into more harm’s way. Besides, the bats are out of our habitat, therefore, we should stay

Anthropology is holistic. Humans are social beings more than anything, but with underlying psychological, biological and cultural connotations. The field of anthropology encompasses everything and anything having to do with humankind throughout history. Anthropology attempts to answer the tough questions about the human condition. What influences our actions? How has our species changed? Why do we look down on other cultures or societies? The questions are endless. It is the anthropologists’ job to try and answer them with unbiased subjectivity in order to come analytical conclusions about us as humans. (Kottak 14). To understand humans and the complexity of our cultures anthropology uses knowledge not only from the social and biological sciences, but also the physical sciences and humanities. In order to cover such a wide base of human history and interaction, anthropology itself has been split up into four different subsets that allow us to delve deeper into the understanding of the human condition. What is common throughout all the subsets is the application of knowledge in an effort to solve human problems. Throughout history though, the problems we have faced as humans have not always been the same. In fact they often change from generation to generation. For anthropology to keep up with these changes it’s had to

1. The first possible method for protecting the bats, would be to setup a protected area. Positive incentive driven programs and eco-tourism just won’t work with bats. Bats don’t have the same general appeal as something like a polar bear or panda. People generally don’t find bats to be likeable, and so convincing people to protect them likely wouldn’t gain much traction. Instead, a controlled area that quarantines the healthy population of bats away from their infected counter-parts and human interaction would be their best shot. The healthy bats need to be kept away from the infected ones. Since going out to capture all of the healthy population in not feasible, I suggest capturing a small, but viable, sample of healthy bats for contained breeding. As the bats reach maturity they could be released into the protected area to reproduce and increase the population of healthy bats. Funding this operation would be tricky, but if the facts are laid out, the government could be persuaded to aid in funding the project. After raising the point of how the bats function for efficient and free pest control (in what would other-wise be an impossibly expensive service by humans) the government would likely see that the more financially

Women in the Middle East suffer if they do not cover up their face they will beaten because sharia law is the Quran. Slaves are still existing today Isis has slaves and some parts of Africa still have slavery its illegal but they are terrorists. In the Middle East women are looked at as second class citizens and it’s probably going to take a long time before women get full rights in the Middle East.

Blame Mankind not the Bats There are two points of view regarding the future of vampire Bats. To begin with, the first view point is that vampire bats should be exterminated. For example, Chris Kraul journalist for the Los Angeles Times, shares that he lost ten calves to animals caused by

Anthropology and what it means was very interesting to me but the thing that spoke out to me is holistic perspective. This is “a fundamental principle of anthropology, that the various parts of our human culture and biology must be viewed in the broadest possible context in order to understand their interconnections and interdependence”. This means we must have an open mind when studying anthropology and see the world with a new pair of eyes; not those, which only know our own culture. In a way anthropologist are scientists performing experiments and have no personal say in what is the correct outcome of that experiment. Therefore anthropologist are seeking to understand how humans interact and their belief system; as opposed to trying to

Things I Know and Learned About Bats Here are some things I know about bats. Bats are nocturnal, which means they are active at night. They use echo location. Bats aren’t very good with their eyesight, they’re nearly blind! So for this they use their hearing, which is echo location. With echo locations bats send out a sound which spreads out, other animals in the location have these sounds bounce off their body going back to the bat. Which then helps the bats find prey or help with their motion of direction. Bats are also mammals this means they are warm blooded. Some bats carry diseases so if you got a nasty bite from a bat you could possibly get ill.

Ethnography is one of the sciences that comes from anthropology and sociology. In involves the research of human societies and culture. Humans are the creatures that are hard to understand. In ethnographic research project the ethnographer has to go to a

Knowledge and Ethics in Anthropology: Obligations and Requirements, edited by Lissette Josephides broadly discuss the epistemological and ethical elements that are involved in the field of anthropology. The book is largely inspiring in Marilyn Strathern’s work, challenging and debating different aspect of her contribution to the field.

This paper will identify the roles anthropologists today play, such as where they perform the bulk of their work, and what it is they do in both problem

Throughout this Introduction to Anthropology course, we covered many important topics and their relevance to anthropology. Almost every week, we focused on one specific topic and completed a field exercise relating to that topic. Through these fieldwork exercises, I learned that thinking on the spot, being constantly aware of your

Tim Ingold mentions in an essay that, “ Human beings are makers of the world”. This is evident through my research in a way that we understand how communities travel across the seas around Borneo to take on a new way of living within their newly formed tribes. These tribes make do with what they have in a completely new environment. As more and more communities spread across the coasts, setting up their new life, so did the distinction between the various tribes.

GREAT AND LITTLE TRADITION The issue of great and little traditions did not arise for the first generation of anthropologists who, following the example of *Malinowski, mainly studied remote, self-contained, small-scale societies. It was only after World War II, when anthropologists began to study communities integrated within larger states and participating
