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 specific study of the
origin, behavior and the physical, social cultural development of humans.
2.
Define “movement” in
this context:
It is the area of study and
learning.
3.
What do you understand by “socialization of children”
Give an example.
All humans are same, but
childrearing in different societies have difference in personalities, like
example the way of speaking, feeding.
4.
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.”
Children must be seen not heard, the must be
punished on bad behaviors cause of not the be badly behave and won’t listen to
anyone. The child must not be spoiled.
5.
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 do agree with this
sentence cause our profit Mohammed said that human are born with “fitra” where
the father and mother make their children who they are.
6.
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.
I they think that my personality is effected by my
culture, example like how do I talk, the way of treating others, my language
and how I speak to others, I must respect others and be polite to them. So, the
personality depends on how do you grow, and how did you live, how you were
treated, example , in other countries children work hard cause they see their
parents and families work hard and even the whole society work form the
beginning of their life.
