Overview & Goals: As a systematic and comparative study of human cultures, cultural anthropology offers a timely approach to understanding and mediating cultural diversity in an increasingly globalized world. This course presents an introduction to the customs, traditions, and forms of social organization in a variety of western and non-western societies. The anthropological endeavor includes identifying and suppressing ethnocentrism and embracing cultural relativism as essential tools for cross-cultural understanding. These methods and the concept of holism all give insight into the multitude of human lifeways and allow us to understand and appreciate the highly integrative nature of cultural phenomena. The objective of this course is to enhance your awareness and appreciation of other cultures and to understand the value of cultural diversity in the world today from an anthropological perspective. Topics include anthropological theory, the nature of culture and its relationship to language; cross cultural comparisons of subsistence methods, religion, language, trade & economic systems, arts, kinship, marriage & family systems and traditional and modern technologies.

Academic Dishonesty: Cheating on exams/plagiarism will result in a failing grade for that assignment. The incident will be reported to the Division Dean and could result in academic probation and/or permanent dismissal from class. What is academic dishonesty? The two most common kinds of academic dishonesty are cheating and plagiarism. Cheating is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work through the use of dishonest, deceptive or fraudulent means. Plagiarism is representing the work of someone else as one’s own and submitting it for any purpose. Students are responsible to know what academic dishonesty means. Examples of cheating include: • Copying from someone else’s test • Purposely allowing another student to copy during a test • Accepting assistance, oral or written, during a project or examination without instructor approval • Lying to an instructor or college official to improve a grade • Removing tests from the classroom without the in-structor’s approval • Using forbidden notes or other sources on examinations • Altering or interfering with grading • Someone other than student attending course or tak-ing examination • Forging signatures on attendance documents or other college records • Stealing copyrighted computer software; • Using an electronic device (calculator, tape recorder, or computer) during an examination without permission EXAMPLES OF PLAGIARISM INCLUDE: • Submitting a paper purchased from a research or term paper service • Incorporating another person’s ideas, words, sentences, or paragraphs, without giving appropriate credit, and representing the product as one’s own work • Representing someone else’s artistic or scholarly work (e.g., musical compositions, computer programs, photo-graphs, drawings) as one’s own CONSEQUENCES OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Depending on the seriousness of the infraction, students may be subject to one or more of the following: • Receive an “F” in the assignment or course. • Be placed on disciplinary probation or disciplinary suspension or be expelled. Instructors, who assign a grade of “F” for cheating, will document that the grade was assigned for academic dishonesty. The documentation will be stored in the student’s permanent academic file. Grades assigned for cheating cannot be changed at a later date, nor will students be eligible to repeat the course to have the grade eliminated from the cumulative GPA. Students who have been reported for academic dishonesty more than once will be subject to further disciplinary action. Instructor reserves the right to mock or otherwise make fun of any student sleeping in class
