...critical thinking skills is your ability to detect, generate, and evaluate reasons given in support of some conclusion. This conclusion might be a new belief, a change in plans, or a confirmation of the old belief. The technical term for a set of reasons plus their intended conclusion is “argument.” Thus the central topic of this course is argumentation. Critical thinking skills are not peculiar to philosophy but are applicable to a variety of academic subjects. Moreover, critical thinking skills are crucial to the fulfillment of the responsibilities you have in virtue of your roles as a citizen, parent, child, employee, and consumer. To develop critical thinking skills, students will be expected to participate actively in class activities and discussions. Time in class will be devoted in the main to practice, not to lecture. In short, you will learn by doing. REQUIRED TEXTS Authors: David R.

...Pérez, PhD Email: ramona.perez@qc.cuny.edu Office hours: Th 2-3 PM, PH 315H COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is an introduction to the range of human diversity through an exploration of the peoples of the world. We will cover the basic concepts, theories, and methods that anthropologists use to study variations in cultural norms and social practices, economic systems and rules of law, social organization and patterns of inequality, identity and worldview, and patterns of social and cultural change. Focusing on the culture concept and the method of ethnography, we begin with the historical foundations of anthropology and then follow its attempts to understand contemporary human cultures. Comparative analysis of multiple ethnographic case studies and major theoretical approaches illuminates the range of human diversity, the forces that shape cultures, and how people adapt to a rapidly changing modern world. The central objectives of this course are to develop your intellectual skills, your cross-cultural fluency, and your sense of civic and moral engagement in global society. I hope that this course inspires many of you to become anthropology majors or minors, and grants each of you an anthropological perspective on your own life. REQUIREMENTS This is an intensive course that requires full participation from every student. You must attend all lectures, study all the assigned materials before the class for which they are listed, complete required assignments, actively...
