Credit Points:	15.0
Unit Description:	Anthropology is the study of different ways of life, with the aim of understanding what it means to be human. Students taking this unit are introduced to anthropology by focusing on such questions as: How do capitalism, consumerism and globalisation affect us? What are the causes and effects of global problems such as racism, social inequality, sexism, terrorism, poverty, disease 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? 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 unit are advised to combine it with Anthropology 1FET. Please note: a repeat evening lecture and an evening tutorial are available in this unit.
