Anthropology

Strengths of structuralist-functionalist approaches include their focus on the interrelated parts of a system and how they contribute to the system's overall stability and function. They provide insights into societal norms, values, and institutions that uphold social order. However, weaknesses include oversimplification of social phenomena and neglect of individual agency, diversity, and conflicts within societies.

Yes, avoiding danger is an innate human instinct. All living things have three innate instincts; to survive (we eat, drink, and protect ourselves from the elements), to defend (we blink, duck, and avoid apparent dangers), and to reproduce (do I need to describe this one?).

Sometimes people avoid or rather try to avoid people they are attracted to because they are afraid of being rejected from that person or they are shy and don't know how to act around that person.

Yes, emotions are considered innate and universal to all humans. Research suggests that basic emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear, anger, and surprise are hardwired in the brain and have evolutionary origins that serve important purposes for survival and social interaction. However, the expression and regulation of emotions can be influenced by culture, environment, and individual experiences.

The gesture of crossing one's fingers for good luck is older than one might think: in some pre-Christian European cultures, two people would cross their fingers together as a show of support, teamwork, or mutual well-wishing: very much like the modern handshake.

The medieval Christians adapted it as a variation on the sign of the cross, to ward off witches and evil spirits (in the same way that today's crosses can supposedly keep vampires at bay).

Over the centuries, 'keeping away the bad' evolved into 'inviting forth the good', and thus was the modern meaning of the superstition born.

People migrate to seek better economic opportunities, escape persecution or conflict, reunite with family members, pursue education or training, access better healthcare, find a better quality of life, experience new cultures, escape natural disasters or environmental degradation, seek political asylum, and for adventure and personal growth.

Perceptual development is and aspect of cognitive development. It is development that happens when a person is developing skills as a human. These skills develop extremely rapidly at the age of one. Some of these skills involve an infant learning to hold up his head, crawl or engage eye contact.

The constituents of human acts include intention (the purpose or motive behind the action), knowledge (awareness of what is being done), and consent (the voluntary decision to engage in the action). These elements help determine the morality and responsibility of the human act.

Back in the middle ages, people generally carried weapons in their right hands. It became customary to clasp hands upon greeting someone thus displaying openly that you were carrying no weapon.

Acculturation is the term that best describes the cultural process of a Japanese family moving to Mexico and learning how to speak Spanish. Acculturation involves the process of adopting the cultural traits or social patterns of another group or society.

Of course not. In fact, it is rare for distinctions to be made between those two groups. Bottom line, there is not a genetically superior racial group. All people have strengths and weaknesses, and it equals out. The whole idea of "genetic superiority" harks back to the really, really bad science of weighing brains or measuring skulls used to justify not only the subjugation of woman, but also slavery and the persecution of Jews and others during the holocaust.

Masculine cultures tend to emphasize assertiveness, competitiveness, and achievement, whereas feminine cultures prioritize collaboration, cooperation, and nurturing. Examples of masculine cultures include Japan and Germany, while examples of feminine cultures include Norway and Sweden.

Anthropology and sociology are separate fields of study. Anthropology focuses on the study of human societies and cultures across time and space, while sociology is the study of social behavior, relationships, and institutions within contemporary society. Both disciplines use different methodologies and theoretical approaches to understand human behavior and social phenomena.

A philosophic question deserves an answer, however at the present time a definition is still in the collection of information and data.

There are three main theories, 1) evolution, 2) Godly design or the anthropic principle 3) visitation or habitation by other alien race or macrobiotic germ in meteor or meteors.

The questions answer will have as much to do with your social climate and your family shared beliefs, and at this moment in time none of the above are wrong, it is right to keep an open mind as you go about your own choice.

Nature may suggest an answer, it may be worth looking at the "Golden Ratio" or the "Fibonacci Sequence" tripartite or hexagonal thinking. A study of them may lead you to believe nature has a code, intellect, emotion and will have grown out of the natural code of the Universe.

Good luck on your search for the answer. The world at the moment is full of contradiction causing wars and economic misery. Intelligence my not be fully developed giving the evolution answer some weight.

There is no concrete evidence to support the claim that Sigmund Freud had a mental illness. However, some have suggested that he may have experienced symptoms of depression later in life. But as a pioneer in psychology, Freud's theories and work focused on understanding and treating mental illnesses in others rather than on his personal experiences.

Anthropology is examined the fundamental problems of human existence (origin and development) in the natural and cultural environment. The most popular object of the anthropology research is studying communities at the local level (an isolated tribe, the village community).

Sociology is the science about formation, development and functioning of society, its elements, social relations and social processes.

Common to sociology and anthropology is the study of problems: how is constructed social bond that unites people in the community or society, what are the cultural forms and social practices in different societies, how a person replicates and produces some type of sociality.

Xenophobia is prejudice or discrimination against people from other countries or cultures, while homophobia is prejudice or discrimination against individuals who are homosexual. Both involve negative attitudes and behaviors towards individuals based on their identities.

Sociology and anthropology both study human societies and cultures, but sociology focuses more on social structures, institutions, and processes, while anthropology focuses on human cultures, behaviors, and origins. Both disciplines use similar research methods such as interviews, observations, and data analysis to understand social phenomena and human interactions. Sociologists often study contemporary societies, while anthropologists may study both contemporary and ancient societies across different cultures.

Homophobia is discrimination or prejudice against individuals who identify as homosexual, while racism is discrimination or prejudice against individuals based on their race or ethnicity. Both involve unjust treatment of individuals based on aspects of their identity, whether sexual orientation or race, but they are distinct in terms of the specific characteristics that are targeted.

What are considered healthy values generally depends on the culture you are a part of and even within that culture these values may be vastly different. Take for example the difference between what is important in the mind of a person that is a Muslim and that in the case of a Christian person. and even then what are considered healthy values may differ greatly among the people of different denominations and ways of thinking. Healthy values are an attitude to the things that are important in what you do in your life that serve to make the lives of others better for them selves and for you.

Health is a matter of three different fields: mental health, physical health and social health. When either of those three is damaged, the others will deteriorate with it. So if you live in a culture where your personal values are shunned or discriminated against, your health will suffer - and not just your social health.

What is important in values, is that your values do not impair your ability to lead a healthy life; which really means your values should complement a healthy lifestyle, on all three grounds of health (mental, physical and social).

This is an extremely broad question and makes some strong generalizations; that said my answer may be considered equally broad and generalized.

Men in general have higher muscle mass and therefore greater potential to generate work than women. In an agricultural society, where the demand for physical work is high, an individual who can perform greater amounts of work will be more highly valued than and individual who cannot.

Culture refers to the shared beliefs, values, behaviors, and practices of a group of people, while social institutions are established structures and mechanisms that create and regulate social behavior within a society. Social institutions are informed by culture, but they are not simply a derivative of it; they help shape and reinforce cultural norms and practices.

Voluntary acts may be things like opening doors for someone, offering to babysit for a young couple to give them a night away from home, or tutoring children. There are many types of volunteer acts that are worthwhile as long as they are done with good intentions.

Are they?? ;)

You probably have to remember that education, today, is as much 'politically correct' as it is genuinely anything else.

My experience is, you may have to take many opinionated subjects 'with a grain of salt'. For many now, education today is much more Left than it is Right ... and be aware of those various factors.
