The Ruby Sipar belongs to the Clan Kin and therefore the removal of it from the Canyon Complex does not violate any international laws. There are two common philosophies when dealing with ownership, the first being Cultural Nationalism, and the other being Cultural Internationalism. The idea of Cultural Nationalism emphasizes national interests, values, and pride. It is their argument that certain artifacts have more importance to certain cultures when compared to others. This philosophy is

Sociologists aim to analyze how people live. To do this, they use sociological perspectives which help them “understand human behavior by placing it within its broader social context.” The three sociological perspectives sociologists utilize that I will be focusing on are symbolic interactionism, functionalism, and conflict theory. Symbolic interactionism is “a theoretical perspective in which society is viewed as composed of symbols that people use to establish meaning, develop their views of the

As evidenced in this discussion, a growing body of scholarship distinguishes and analyzes multiple dimensions that comprise the concept of race. Increasingly, race is observed to be experienced not primarily as an identity, but as constructed through a variety of sometimes conflicting dimensions. In her article, “The Multiple Dimensions of Race,” Roth (2016) offers three categories on how individuals’ race can be determined: first, by how individuals self-identify their race, second, how their race

History shows that racism existed and still exist. Although, it is not very clear when and how the term racism come into existence. There are several discussions and research in trying to understand how the concept of race prejudice found its way into humans. The Pinder chapters attempt to explain the controversial historical emergence of whiteness, race prejudice and the superiority feeling of the whites over other ethnic groups of color. At some point, race prejudice is thought to have found its

Throughout the years, there have been many debates on whether or not race is socially or biologically constructed. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, biological realism was the dominant view. Races were assumed to be biologically objective categories (Andreasen 2000, 653). However, in the middle of the 20th century, this point of view changed and today most theorists favour the view that races are socially constructed (Andreasen 2000, 654). Throughout my paper, I will argue that race is not a

In a time when foreign accents are heard nearly daily, it seems as though stereotypes related to the accents have not disappeared. The accent stereotypes are not only related to the geographical location of the accent but about the person regardless of where they may come from. A foreign accent may make someone believe they lack intelligence or competence in communication or other areas. The differences in stereotypes for accents get much more nuanced. For example, the stereotypes formed after an

excavations and interpretations. Interpreting the past is a very tricky business. “Humans have always speculated about their past, and most cultures have their own foundation myths to explain why society is how it is,” (Renfrew and Bahn 2012, 22). Anthropology is ripe with theories. Theory is a hard term to define with regard to archaeology, but essentially it is an interpretation of the past based on material data analysis. Archaeological site interpretation is a fundamental aspect to understanding

Culture is defined as “the beliefs, customs, arts, etc., of a particular society, group, place, or time”, according to Merriam-Webster (2016). What does this mean to the average person? Surrounded by multiple cultures, humans sometimes have the tough decision to develop new relationships, or possibly deter one from another due to one’s culture. Nevertheless, no one country, state, city or village in the world will be the same; this makes the world a very interesting place. It is always interesting

What is culture? Culture is the knowledge and characteristics of a different group of people, with a different language, religion, country of origin, social habits, and different health perspective (Zimmermann 2017). Culture is also defined as the fundamental building block of identity and the development of a strong cultural identity which is essential to the sense of who they are and where they belong (Connor n.d.). According to Napier et al. (2014, p. 1608), the anthropologist Robert Redfield

called the police and many just walked by. Then when it was the girls turn to steal the bike people actually came up to her and helped. Most of the people who had helped her were men and i think this happened because maybe the guys had some king of physical attraction to the girl or were just trying to be "civil" and they were trying to be nice to her so then since the guys are being nice then the outcomes change. They didn't call the cops, they didn't yell at her so therefore the outcome is different
