教育目標

*Be able to explain and apply key concepts in cultural and ecological anthropology. Students will be introduced to basic anthropological concepts including culture and social change and to provide students with a more holistic appreciation of human diversity. At the end of the course, students will be able to use participant observation and anthropological theories towards future work and projects. *Conduct cross-cultural analysis. Students will develop critical thinking skills by using cross-cultural analysis to understand human behavior in different cultures. This will allow students to develop a broader understanding of humanity. *Develop a holistic and relativistic point of view. Anthropologists pay special care to have a holistic and culturally relativistic point of view when approaching culture. Students will be able to consider all aspects of a culture and understand their meanings within an objective and nonjudgemental lens. Students will also be able to identify and eliminate their own ethnocentric biases. *Gain an appreciation of the diversity and similarities shared between cultures. Students will leave the course with a better appreciation for the diversity of human life. Students will be able to examine their own culture critically and contextualize world views and belief systems. Through this process, previously held notions and prejudices that engender misunderstanding and conflict will be overturn.
