...This study is used to show the process of enculturation of Kennesaw State University students who were born and raised in another culture were examined in this study. The introduction will explain some background information on the topic. These literature reviews will highlight some aspects, peer involvement and maintaining original culture traditions, that are spoken on in my study. The methods section will touch on other aspects of my study. It will elaborate on who my participants were, they study I conducted, and how it was conducted. The results section will speak on the results of my study; what I found from the answers given by my participants. The final section will be the discussion which will discuss the interpretations of my study. Enculturation is the process by which individuals learn and adopt the ways and manners of their specific culture, (Matsumoto & Juang, 2013). The enculturation process usually begins at birth; with the child learning the ways of its culture. Enculturation can also be in from of moving from one place to another and having to learn the new ways and manners of the culture one is now in. This form of enculturation is what this study will be focusing on. This study is used to highlight possible difficulties during process of enculturation of...

...critical thinking. Most people process their thinking based on how and where they were raised, their religious beliefs, values, and ethics. Critical thinking involves analyzing and evaluating ones thoughts while eliminating all the biases one may have acquired overtime. When critical thinking skills are practiced in the workplace mistakes are normally at a minimal. Critical thinking allows employees to make decisions in a clear and concise manner. In the workplace today, most organizations are successful as a result of employing personnel who possess critical thinking skills or by training staff on these skills. Employees who think critically and make good decisions are those who avoid the common thinking challenges. Misthinking, enculturation, and self concept are just a few of the common mistakes when attempting to be a critical thinker. According to Kirby & Goodpaster, “Who we are is how we think” (p. 14). Before becoming a critical thinker people must face the facts of who they...

...Living in the 21st century, society may believe that we live in a world of gender equality. A belief that is in fact idealistic. Gender inequality stems from deep rooted cultural ideologies. The enculturation process plays a role in learning gendered norms. Gender roles ascribed to men and women have affect in our society. Social inequalities affect many women in different walks of life. It can be seen in the type of work women obtain and which accounts for the gender wage gap. Gender inequality can also be seen at the educational level. Even though there is gender inequality all around us we we can all strive for gender equality by diminishing the causes of gender inequality. Lets take a step back and analyze what gender inequality truly...

...Enculturation, or the acquisition of traits and beliefs through family, friends, and geographical location, is a barrier to an individual’s ability to think critically. Enculturation occurs when an individual is influenced by their surroundings, and cannot critically think through situations that they disagree with. Examples of enculturation include cultural differences, such as polygamy; an individual who does not believe in polygamy may not be able to critically think about the topic. I would recommend that all individuals explore different cultures and perspectives. I have found that an open mind towards new and unfamiliar perspectives allows an individual to openly ingest new ideas. Self-concept, or the self-image that an individual holds of their self, is another barrier to critical thinking. Items related to self-concept are associations that an individual creates with a product or a cause. While associating with a product or cause is not a barrier, as examples of self-concept include individuals who buy a certain brand of vehicle, or an individual who associates themselves as an advocate of a particular dog breed. The barrier to critical thinking occurs when the individual cannot disassociate themselves from the associations they have made. A personal example of this is my association to Pit Bull advocacy groups; I own a Pit Bull, and I personally feel they receive an undeserved and uneducated negative stigma. While I associate myself as a Pit Bull owner, and believe they...

...Re-Organization and Layoff Team D Melissa Stotko PHL/320 May 26, 2016 Martin McDuffie Re-Organization and Layoff Solutions One potential creative solution for the problem that the team identified in week two would be to force employees that have been with the company over 20 years into mandatory retirement. For every mandatory retirement that the company forces, that is one potential job saved. Now we are not saying that the company needs to force retire 100 salary employees and 950 union employees, but if even they we able to retire half from each category that would help them stay competitive in the marketplace. We are trying to save jobs. So we need to get rid of the old dinosaurs that are not up with the current trends that GE needs to stay competitive with. Another potential creative solution for the problem could be for GE Transportation to find new, create new, or adjust their current marketing strategies. Clearly orders and productivity are down. If GE was to find a new strategy to boost revenue and productivity then they would not be forced into implementing this layoff plan. Let it say these new strategies boosted productivity by even 20% that can cut down 20% of the 1050 employees they had planned to let go. It is common knowledge that if you have a strong marketing strategy then chances are you will be successful. Why solutions will work Forcing employees that have been with the company over 20 years into mandatory retirement is one of...

...The Significance of Africanisms by Melville Herskovits is an in depth analysis of African Cultural survivals among the Negroes of the United States. The article involves far more than the traditional linking relationship of traits of Africa and the West Indies. The article examines the resistance and spiritual survival of African Culture among the black Diaspora in the United States. While at the same timeexpounding the scope and the significance of African culture by providing a fertile concept of Africanism that reflects the unique manner in which each black individual of the Diaspora envisions African Cultural retention. Herskovits in his writing posits that the retention of the African cultural has been long lost in the American Culture; however this observation is not the same in the Caribbean/West Indian context. The West Indian retention of the African Culture is evident in many of the religious practices that are still being done in the Caribbean, some of which are Revivalism, Pucho, Voodoo (Vodun), Keele, Santeria, Shouter Baptist and Komfa (Cumfa). These are some of the ways in which West Indians have retained many of the cultural practices of their African ancestors. In his writing Herskovits argued that “for the negro to appreciate his past he has to endow confidence in his own position in his country and by extension the world. He must have scientific facts concerning the ancestral cultures of Africa and the survivals of Africanisms in the New World. In the article...

...Barriers to Influence Critical Thinking We were taught about different kinds of barriers that both influence and change the way that we think, and most importantly critically think. There are several barriers that I can see have influenced the way that I critically think. The first barrier that influences me is enculturation. Enculturation is a process that includes, “many of the values and preferences you have now, including religious ideas, sexual mores, and work ethic, were instilled in you since birth by your culture.” (Kirby, 2007, p. 13) I can see how I have been influenced by many of these areas in my life. I grew up in a home where it was important to ask questions, and seek knowledge. It was ok to take apart the door mechanism to see how it worked. Questioning was allowed. In the church I attend we are asked to question everything. We are taught to not blindly follow others, but to find out for ourselves if what the religion teaches is true. The next barrier that I can see influencing my critical thinking is the Ego Defense of projection. “Projection is the defense mechanism by which we see in others a part of ourselves that we cannot accept and do not recognize.” (Kirby, 2007, p. 27) This would be a barrier of negative influence in my life. I can always see the bad or the errors in others, but when it comes to my own, I have a very hard time seeing them. As I am able to recognize that I am projecting my own concerns or faults on others I will better...

...Barriers to Critical Thinking The first barrier that influences my critical thinking is religion and enculturation. I grew up in the Baptist tradition and so did my family. A lot of what I learned and was taught was traditional to the Baptist denomination. Women were not allowed to preach and the way Sunday service was orchestrated was in a traditional and religious kind of way in all the Baptist churches in my home town. When I grew up and moved away, I joined a Baptist church, but got tired of the barriers towards women. So I switched to non-denomination. I looked at the Baptist denomination in a critical way that made me despise all Baptist churches. After doing some research, I learned that not all Baptist churches hold barriers against women and encourage and welcome the calling on a woman’s life to preach from behind the pulpit of their churches, which changed the way I thought and felt about the Baptist denomination as a whole. As this relates also to enculturation, people that belong to the Baptist denomination also have beliefs when it comes to marriage and raising children. It is a part of their culture as a whole. After doing research on Baptist marriages, the divorce rate is lower. According to author and Baptist pastor Glenn Stanton (2011), many people who seriously practice a traditional religious faith—be it Christian or other—have a divorce rate markedly lower than the general population. The second barrier that influences my critical thinking is self-serving...

...A Friendly Life with the Dolphins As a culture being a learned behavior for humans, it is for the animals as well. Humans have grown, evolved, adapted, and developed to survive; and their acquired skills and consistent improvements have accelerated such developments. Surprisingly, dolphins also have acquired such skills to live more convenient life by working with the humans. The article “Dolphins help fishermen to catch fish” describes how dolphins and fishermen work together. This article explains the special relationship between the fishermen and the dolphins in Laguna, Brazil, where dolphins help to catch fish by herding the group of mullet towards the fishermen, then signaling the right time to throw the nets (Welsh, 2012). This cooperation is noted to be very important and helpful for both parties’ survival, since they both depend on each other for catching fish, fish being the main source of income for the fishermen, whereas, fish being the main source of food for the dolphins (Welsh, 2012). Apparently, this teamwork with the dolphins had become the tradition for these Brazilian fishermen as they worked together for more than 15 years (Welsh, 2012). This cooperative behavior of both has created a unique culture that both fishermen and dolphins pass on their tradition by teaching. From a cultural anthropological perspective, this is a very interesting issue since humans and dolphins do not share any biological similarities as they do with primates, like apes, monkeys...

...1. How do anthropologists define marriage? What types of marriage are also identified? Also, watch one of the films in the course playlist pertaining to polygamy. Remember to think like an anthropologist and provide advantages and disadvantages to each type of marriage. Marriage can be defined as a legal union of people coming together, combing their resources, and committing to their partner(s). It functions more than just a union of two people and may have a much broader significance than the relationship between husband and wife. Marriage brings families together and expands families by having children. It also provides information of the growth of families from one generation to the next (Dettwyler, 2011). There are two types of marriages, monogamy and polygamy. Monogamy is a two person union (Dettwyler, 2011). The couple vows to stay married and faithful to their partner. Within monogamy there is serial monogamy. A serial monogamist has many partners but, is only married to one at a time. One continues to remarry after previous marriages have failed ending in a divorce. There is also monogamy arranged marriages. Partners in the marriage are chosen by parents’ and is based off of the social standing of the families, rather than certain personality traits one chooses to marry (Dettwyler, 2011). That marriage is for establishing a household and raising children. However, Dettwyler (2011) states, “the couple is not expected to love each other” (p.167) The other type of...

...Secularism and religion Secularism and Religion Religion and Secularism have been around for years. People have many different views and thoughts about secularism. Secularism as a philosophy owes its origins to George Jacob Holyoake (1860), who introduced the idea that life should be lived by reference to ethical principles, and the world understood by processes of reasoning, rather than by reference to God or gods, or other supernatural concepts. From the perspective of government and governance, secularism refers to a policy that separates religious authority from the state .The opposite of secularism is usually theocracy; that is, where religion has a major role in government. Religion in the Civil War pervaded virtually all aspects of American society. Not all Americans held religious beliefs and values, but many did. Religion was not confined to one particular group, but soldiers and civilians, Northerners and Southerners, freed and slave, males and females, and Jews and Christians all made use of religion. Furthermore, a reciprocal relationship existed between the Civil War and religion, with both influencing and being influenced by each other. As a result, religion during the Civil War did not remain a static entity during 1861-1865; instead, it became an institution that constantly changed and adapted itself, as well as its devotees. Americans used religion to interpret their experiences during and after...

...Nurture has been a cornerstone in scientific research and a paradigm throughout history. Nature is a discretional attribute as to what biological data have formed you, opposed to Nurture which is the behavioral characteristics that you learn and exhibit. Provided a fundamental formula of Willie Lynch’s ideology, plus the process of enculturation, positive nature vs. nurture, we would result in the limited education to our African American children because of the environmental restrictions placed on the black community ghetto. As stated before a ghetto is “A section of a city, especially a thickly populated slum area, inhabited predominantly by members of an ethnic or other minority group, often as a result of social or economic restrictions, pressures, or hardships.” (Dictionary) In “The Lesson”, one of the students asked if they could steal some of the items in the toy store. Others said, “she’s boring us silly about what things cost and what our parents make and how much goes for rent.” (Bambara) To fathom the thoughts of being able to buy what they want, when they wanted it...

...Barriers to Critical Thinking Personal barriers are the obstacles that an individual has that can positively or negatively affect a person’s academic and career success. It is important to learn and understand what my barriers are in order to become a successful student and career woman. Enculturation Enculturation is described as any of the values and preferences you have now, including religious ideas, sexual mores, and work ethic, were instilled in you since birth by your culture (citation here) As a child I was often told that we are Christians and we will go to church because that is what we do. Whenever I challenged or questioned my mother her response would be “because I said so”. This was not an easy barrier to overcome, but it was one that I would not readily accept. I began studying other religions and meeting people of other religions to gain a better understanding of how other individuals worship. The most important thing I learned is that although we all may worship and have a different name for the God we serve, some values are universal. Some morals such as praying, respect, lying, stealing and forgiveness are practiced by several different cultures. Ego Defense Ego defenses are psychological coping strategies that distort reality in order to protect ourselves from anxiety, guilt, and other bad feelings. Some of the more basic ones that impact on our thinking are denial, projection, and rationalization. (citation here) For most of my young adult life...

...Gender Differences in Communication Introduction Is it truly impossible for men to understand women? Are men as simple as people make them seem? Men and women are very different. They communicate in different ways. Stereotypically, men are extremely dissimilar to women when it comes to communication. If men and women are examined separately, there would be many differences in how they interact with each other. Method To see just how different men and women are, two groups of people were examined. There were college aged males living in a fraternity house. There were also college aged females living in a sorority house. The men of a fraternity house at a university were studied. They were observed at meal time, study time, and at times when they were in rooms relaxing. At a sorority, the women were observed at a meal time, study time, and in main rooms socializing. Results Observations made while at the fraternity were very interesting. During meal times, the men had a lot of interaction. They all sat together at a long table and there were conversations between two people as well as conversations with the entire table involved. The topics of conversation ranged anywhere from classes to crazy girlfriends. There was talk about plans for the day and a lot of talk about their favorite foods the cook had made this year. When men entered the room, there were greetings and handshakes with those that passed each other. During study time observation, there...
