Readings emphasize case studies in very different settings from very different perspectives and schools along historical line. Although some of the results and conclusions of anthropology will be discussed, emphasis will be on appreciating cultural difference and its implications, studying cultures and societies through long-term fieldwork, and most of all, learning to think analytically about other people’s lives and our own.
