Contemporary North American adults usually define their families as consisting of their husbands or wives and their children.

Which of the following is among the reasons for this stark cultural contrast? Brazilians readily incorporate strangers into their social worldsNorth Americans have more choices about where they can live, and they have chosen to live away from their relatives North Americans value independence over their family Brazilians have purely economic relationships with their spouses Brazilians live in a less mobile society and so stay in closer contact with their relatives, including members of their extended family, than do North Americans

In Arembepe, Brazil, a degree of community solidarity was promoted by the myth that everyone was kin. However, social solidarity was actually much less developed in Arembepe than in societies with clans and lineages. Why? Intense social solidarity demands that some people be excluded - by asserting they were all related—that is, by excluding no one—Arembepeiros were actually weakening kinship's potential strength in creating and maintaining group solidarity In societies with clans and lineages, social solidarity is much more developed, because they have more elaborate kinship rituals than Arembepeiros do Intense social solidarity is possible only in societies having homogeneous ancestry - in Arembepe, high ethnic diversity weakens kinship ties Arembepeiros who became successful were bound by social obligation to share their wealth. This powerful leveling mechanism worked against social solidarityIntense social solidarity requires not a myth but a biologically grounded genealogy that shows people's actual relatedness

Anthropologists distinguish between kin terms and genealogical kin types. What is the difference? Kin terms are the words used for different relatives in a particular language, but genealogical kin types refers to the actual genealogical relationship. Kin terms are the words used for socially constructed relationships, whereas genealogical kin types refers to relatives Kin terms are the terms used for different relatives from the ego's perspective, whereas genealogical kin types refers to objective relatives from no perspective in particular Kin terms refers to the actual genealogical relationship; genealogical kin types are the words used for different relatives in a particular cultureThe difference is only a methodological one—in practice, they are the same thing

They believed it necessary for boys to ingest semen in order to mature in a healthy way. Genetic drift created a population dominated by a homosexual gene.

The Kottak book's discussion on recurrent gender patterns stresses that exceptions to cross-cultural generalizations may involve societies or individuals. these generalities are based on bad data, because the studies did not use randomized sampling. it is the role of industrialized nations to correct patterns that are immoral. these patterns are universals rather than generalities.the United Nations should become more involved in reversing these patterns.

If a patriarchy is a political system ruled by men, what would a matriarchy be—a political system ruled by women? Anthropologist Peggy Reeves Sanday, who investigated these questions among the Minangkabau of West Sumatra, found that the Minangkabau matriarchy is not the equivalent of female rule because of their belief that decision making should be by consensus. women in matriarchies see their male counterparts as being inferior.although Minangkabau women play a central role in their culture's social, economic, and ceremonial life, they are still regarded as having lower status than men. women of newer generations are experimenting with new ideas of gender roles. true matriarchies do not exist.

One takeaway for cultural anthropology from the film "Still Killing Us Softly 4" is that the human body is a valid subject of cultural anthropological investigations because it is thought of in the same way across different cultures the human body is a valid subject of cultural anthropological investigations because it is thought of differently in different cultures no answers are correct the human body is best studied by natural sciences such as medicine because it's a fact that everyone has a body

Recent cross-cultural studies of gender roles demonstrate that the gender roles of men and women are largely determined by their biological capabilities—relative strength, endurance, intelligence, and so on. foraging, horticultural, pastoral, and industrial societies all have similar attitudes toward sex but different attitudes toward gender. the relative status of women is variable, depending on such factors as the type of subsistence strategy employed, the importance of warfare, and the prevalence of a domestic-public dichotomy. changes in the gender roles of men and women are usually associated with social decay and anarchy. women are subservient in nearly all societies, because their subsistence activities contribute much less to the total diet than do those of men.

Traditionally, in some areas of the former Yugoslavia, several nuclear families were embedded in an extended family household called a zadruga. Among the Nayar in southern India, it was typical for people to live in matrilineal extended family compounds called tarawads. Descriptions of these two culturally specific cases highlight how children who grow up in stable kin groups are better off than those who don't the nuclear family is the only stable kin group arrangement nuclear families are extremely rare in terms of living arrangements there are many alternatives to the nuclear family extended family households are an adaptive strategy to dealing with extreme poverty

there are many alternatives to the nuclear family

Regarding sexual orientation, all of the following are true EXCEPT that flexibility in sexual expression seems to be an aspect of our primate heritage, since both masturbation and same-sex sexual activity exist among chimpanzees and other primates. culture always plays a role in molding individual sexual urges toward a collective norm, and these norms vary from culture to culture. different types of sexual desires and experiences hold different meanings for individuals and groups. within a society, individuals will differ in the nature, range, and intensity of sexual interests and urges. there is conclusive scientific evidence that sexual orientation is genetically determined.
