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.
