In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Articulate observations about the role of culture in human societies for how it influences the human condition
Utalize basic anthropological concepts in explaining the beliefs, practices, and cultural norms of different cultures.
Apply basic practices of cultural anthropologist for interpreting interactions between individuals or groups
Utalize the basic principles of cultural relativism when observing and interpreting other cultures and subcultures
PROMPT:
For this film study, imagine that you are a cultural anthropologist. Instead of observing real people in the real world, you will observe the actions and cultural practices of the characters in a chosen film. My film is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. As you watch the film, pay attention to the cultural values and norms thats you observe. You will also choose three anthropological concepts and explore how each concept influences the behavior of the characters. Finally, you will reflect on how this exercise has led you to think more deeply about other cultures, as well as your own. Remember, as a cultural anthropologist, you are an object observer. Therefore, it is important to use the basic principles of cultural relativism as you wrote about the cultures and subcultures that you observe in the film.
I have attached the critical elements that must be addressed.
