Anthropology | Culture and Society E105 | 1097 | Wilk  Have you
ever wondered how and why people of other cultures and groups
act and think differently, and see the world in different ways?
Sociocultural and linguistic anthropology study human cultural
difference, and the universal aspects of the human experience
that bring all people together. The course challenges you with a
wide variety of films, readings, discussions, and short research
assignments, to help understand the kinds of cultural diversity
you face every day here in Indiana, and will encounter for the
rest of your life in our increasingly interconnected world. Our
goal is to open your eyes to the origin and value of cultures,
in a way that will be useful in almost any kind of major and
career, from business to musical performance. I use an unusual
grading system in which you can pick different combinations of
tests and other work to get the grade you want.
