Part of the anthropological perspective is holism

Reference no: EM13514407

The second key part of the anthropological perspective is holism, the idea that all the parts of a culture are integrated. However, anthropology considers the economic domain of culture to be the “base” or “core” of the culture. What do anthropologists mean when they say that culture is integrated, and why do we say that economics is the base of the culture? Discuss in some detail the ways that economic (especially production but also distribution and even consumption) practices shape other aspects of culture and society—groups, organization, gender roles and relations, values, institutions, beliefs, and personality traits—and give some specific examples from the four main production systems. Finally, discuss how production, distribution, and consumption practices in your own society shape its culture, organization, and values. Be specific about effects on gender, kinship, power, personality, etc. (700-800 words)
