What does anthropology really mean? Some say that anthropology is the study of human societies and cultures and their development. Others affirm anthropology as the science of human zoology, evolution, and ecology. But the absolute mystery of anthropology, is it certainly art or science? As I was reading the text written by Michael Carrithers, I realized that anthropology is a difficult subject to tackle. Some say it’s classified as science, some say its art. For me, anthropology
Identity and Language The concept of identity has been thoroughly debated, discussed, and theorized throughout the years. However, what is identity ? The concept in its self is elusive and hard to pinpoint down to one exact definition. One definition about identity that is easier to grasp is that it exists as your ‘self’ seen throughout your day to day interactions both verbally and physically. A persons’ identity is built, molded, and continuously fine-tuned through social culture, ethnicity,
Social media has affected social interaction negatively. In my primary research, the results showed how people’s personal lives had been affected by social media. I found that 56% of the respondents felt that social media had impacted their lives negatively. Over half of the respondents showed how they had been negatively affected by social media. A significant number of responses stated “relationships are impacted with less meaningful face to face interactions.” This shows how because of social
What Is a Medium? A large part of society and culture includes the transition of ideas and information between its members. This transition leads these members to formulate new ideas, traditions, practices, and beliefs, which result in the overall advancement and change of culture and society over time. This transition of information and ideas, responsible for bringing about change, occurs through a medium. In “The Medium is the Message,” by Marshall McLuhan, McLuhan discusses the definition
“Concept of alienation” in Art When we look into the ‘art world’, one can find innumerable literary characters who feel painfully alienated from the social institutions that encircle them. Characters like Jake Barnes in Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises (1926); Caddy Compson in William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury (1929); and Stephen Dedalus in James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). The alienation experienced by these characters sometimes goes beyond, and feel alienated
5. Review of related Literature: Conceptualization of Disability embodies itself a dichotomy. Society distinguishes between ‘a normal and socially functional human being;’ and those belonging to complementary class. Thus conceptualization ‘reflects society’s self image’ needless to state that prevailing social condition plays a significant role in framing the definition and branding. That is the main source of discrimination. The society should weed it out. Human welfare is the moot cause for changes
Sutpen’s design and ultimately his failure should be read in a larger context outside the personal history of the character. The fate of Sutpen is sealed once his realization takes hold of him. The traumatic affront prompts Sutpen to be a part of the same social structure that rebuked him for his poverty. Faulkner allows Sutpen to rise in social position by attempting to make him a part of Southern society that is plainly biased and preoccupied with a person’s social footing. Sutpen thereby is already
Theoretical and Conceptual Framework The principles and concepts that have helped shape the framework of this study are mainly drawn from the structural functionalist theory, social contract theory, reinforcement theory, the UN Humanitarian Resolution 46/182 of 1991, the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010 (R.A. 10121), the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Framework of the Philippines, and the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan, 2011 to

A value is a conviction that guides any individual or organization (International Christian Centre Pastoral Team, 2010). It is a motivating force for people to always attribute such meaning, worth, and importance to things. Realizations acquired by a person, as being matched, give a feeling of completeness and satisfaction. Clarifying and expressing one’s life in alignment with these core values is a primary step in knowing how to be happy. When one is not living in line with these values, it is
