1. Cultural Relativism Why must anthropologists practice cultural relativism in their fieldwork? What are the benefits to this approach? Do you see any limits to, or problems with, the application of cultural relativism in anthropology? For example, some cultures encourage their members to marry multiple people (polygamy) others do not allow people to choose their own marriage partners (arranged marriage). Some cultures refuse to use modern medicine, and others require individuals to manipulate their bodies (removal of teeth, insertion of objects under the skin, removal of parts of the genitals, etc.) in order to be considered normal. Given the wide range of human cultural practices, is there a limit to cultural relativism and if so, can it be quantified or articulated? Can there be such a thing as universal human rights? After you reading of the chapter, provide your perspective on these concepts.2. Cultural norms and personal space Cultural norms seem so natural that we’re often not even aware of them unless they’re violated. We are so ingrained with these concepts, that we enact them without thinking. Cultural norms shape our understanding of personal space (proxemics), time (chronemics), touch (haptics), and other forms of para-language (vocal pitch, volume, intonation, etc.). For example:What happens when you stand too close to someone? Too far away?Who are you allowed to touch, where, and in what circumstances?When is it appropriate to show up for different events? (like the difference between a house party versus a doctor’s appointment?)Draw from your own life circumstances to provide three scenarios in which the unwritten rules of behavior regarding space, touch, and time were violated (either by someone else or by yourself), provide the circumstance, the rule “violation”, and the reaction to it.Here’s a space example: You go to a movie theater and a stranger sits down next to you in an otherwise empty movie theater. This behavior isn’t “wrong”, but we feel like it breaks an unwritten rule about personal space. The resulting action may be that the person leans away from the stranger, gives a dirty look, asks the person to move, or you get up and move away yourself. Or, there may be no physical reaction, but there is a mental alert or uncomfortable feeling that is elicited. Provide three different circumstances where 1) space violation is emphasized, 2) touch violation is emphasized, and finally one in which 3) time violation is emphasized.3. Where in the worldIf you could conduct long-term ethnographic fieldwork anywhere in the world, where would you choose to work? What aspects of this location or culture interest you? What questions would you ask?Where would you least like to work? Are there particular parts of the world that might make you feel especially ethnocentric, or cause you to experience extreme culture shock? Why? While doing your hypothetical fieldwork, you would likely engage in the most fundamental research methods of cultural anthropology. What do you consider the proper balance of participant and observer? Obviously, if one is only an observer, there is no possibility of building rapport. Are there any practical limits to participation in a study culture? In other words, can an anthropologist “go native” and still be an anthropologist?
