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 where people
study and learn.
3.
What do you understand by “socialization of children”
Give an example.
People are same, but
children in different societies have difference in personalities, like example
the way 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 will learn by seeing not hearing, the
must be punished on bad behaviors cause of not they be badly behave and won’t
listen to anyone. Children 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 society’s
cause’s deviations in behavior and personalities from each other.”
I agree with this
sentence because when children born they don’t know anything, they learn from
their parents and know the culture, language and the religion.
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.
My personality is affected by my culture, when I
talk and my life style is similar that’s called learning by doing. So, the
personality depends on how do you live , communicate with others , here in the
UAE we don’t shake hands from when we was child we make the nose “Salam” that’s
not what we should to do , this is a thing that we learn by doing and see
others do it.
