This study guide was written especially for students in Anthropology 100, Contemporary Non-Western Cultures. This course serves to introduce students to the field of Anthropology and the Anthropology

Department at UNC Greensboro, as well as offering three hours of Global/Non-Western and Social

and Behavioral Science credits.

 

The goal of this study guide is to help you to learn to distinguish between what is important and what is trivial, and then to understand how the important things interrelate. This is knowledge that should help you not only through this course, but through your college career and your life as well. On completing this course, students should be able to:

  • demonstrate how many diverse societies are increasingly interconnected and interdependent in the modern world
  • have an understanding of the concepts of ethnocentrism, cultural relativity, and human rights
  • develop a sense of tolerance and understanding toward the problems faced by indigenous people in the world today
  • challenge the Eurocentric view of world history.
