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.
