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

Anthropology is the study of humans’ behaviors.

2.       What do you understand by “socialization of children” Give an example      

 Socialization of children is the change on the child personality.

 Example: when the child start to become a member of the family.

3.       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.”

1. Teaching the child how to respect the elders in the society.

2. Giving the child chance to talk and discuss many social situations

3. Making the child involve in solving problems

4.       Read this sentence again and say to what extent you agree: “all humans are the same when born, but childrearing in different societies causes deviations in behavior and personalities from each other.”

I agree with this statement, because each child in the world is raised in a different society, culture and a different families. So they the child will gain different skills and behavior and will act as what they learned.

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.

Yes, I can see that there is a relation between my personality and my culture. In my culture there are many rules you should follow otherwise the elders and parents will say its shame on you!!

Since we were children we followed these roles which formed our personality. Although there are people who have same culture but different personalities, and that’s because not all the people follow all the culture rules and some people from different cultures give a bad impact in those people.
