Culture and Personality in Anthropology

 

 

 

Read the section about Culture and Personality in Anthropology. Answer these questions about that section:-

 

1.       Define “Anthropology” in your own words

The anthropology is to study human beings

2.       What do you understand by “socialization of children” Give an example

What I understand is when the children grow up they contact to help each other in the real life for example when the class is mixed with many nationality the help each other to pass.

 

3.       Read this sentence again and give examples of childrearing in different societies and cultures: “socialization creates personality patterns. It helps shape people’s emotions, thoughts, behaviors, cultural values and norms to fit into and function as productive members in the surrounding human society. The study of culture and personality demonstrates that different socialization practices such as childrearing in different societies (cultures) result in different personality types.”

A great example when the people of other countries learn from our culture and in the same time we learn fro them  

 

 

4.       Read this sentence again and say to what extent

you agree: “all humans are the same when born, but childrearing in different societies causes deviations in behavior and personalities from each other.”

I defiantly agree with this sentence because the children when he born he know nothing but he learn from his family and his friends and other people.

5.       Reflect on the reading above. Can you see a link between your culture and your personality? Think about that in relation to your own culture first, and then think about personality and culture in a different society. Reflect. Give examples.

There is a link between my culture and my personality for example when you want to know if this is right or wrong you ask yourself first and thin you you see if its right for your culture.
