2014
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Anthropology is the study of different ways of life, with the aim of understanding what it means to be human. Students taking this subject are introduced to anthropology by focusing on such questions as: How does capitalism, consumerism and globalisation affect us? What are the causes and effects of global issues such as racism, social inequality, poverty, over-population, war and climate change? How do some people live in peace and harmony with one another? Why do we give presents at Christmas and Valentine's Day? Why don't we eat dogs and whales? As well as developing an informed and critical outlook on their own social worlds, students will gain skills relevant in a multicultural and global setting. Students taking this subject are advised to combine it with Anthropology 1FET.
