ASSIGNMENT:
Audience: Other cultural anthropology students
Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to have students demonstrate an understanding of social inequality as it is manifested in different cultural settings.
Most societies have systems of social inequality that result in people having differential access to property, power and prestige. Anthropological research has demonstrated that the most common forms of social inequality are based on sex, race/ethnicity, caste and socioeconomic class.
Directions:
Choose two specific cultural examples of the kinds of social inequality listed above and describe how the lives of individuals are affected by the types of inequality you have identified. Both examples must be drawn from the cultures discussed in the class materials.
For both of your examples, identify and describe the social, economic, political or global conditions you believe to be most responsible for maintaining these examples of social inequality over time.
Do you believe anthropologists are or are not ethically obligated to try to find ways to eliminate social inequality in other cultures?
