researcher of human cultures, an anthropologist

Scenario

For the purposes of this assignment, imagine you are a researcher of human cultures, an anthropologist who is looking from the future back to our world today. In this position, you develop a natural curiosity about cultural works and how they represent a particular culture. You are also curious about how cultural works influence the environment in which they exist. You are new at your job, and your first project is to conduct a thorough analysis of today’s culture via a cultural work, looking to understand how it represents culture and how it reflects its cultural environment. The results of your analysis will be used to craft the copy for a brochure accompanying a museum exhibit about cultural works of the current year.

Directions

Analysis of a Cultural Work
As an anthropologist, you will start your task by analyzing the work of human creative expression that you selected in Module Four. With this work in mind, respond to the questions below. Remember, the insights you gain here will be used to write the copy that will go in the museum exhibit brochure.

Answer the following questions:

  1. Describe the work in detail. Consider the following:
    1. Where did you see the work?
    2. What elements or characteristics stand out to you?
  2. Describe the purpose of the work. Consider the following:
    1. What do you think the creator intended to express?
    2. Were they successful?
  3. Use the work to explore how acts of creative expression impact and are impacted by the people and situations that surround them. Consider the following:
    1. What contributions does the work selected make to continuing a dialogue about that culture and the importance of its works?
  4. State questions you have after thinking deeply about this work. What more do you want to know regarding the following?
    1. The relationship between culture and expression: What is the relationship between the possible intent of the creator and your own interpretation of its meaning?
    2. Explain how your values have shaped and are shaped by your expression and that of others.
  5. Explain how you would approach answering these questions:
    1. What would you study about this work that might address the questions you stated?
    2. Where would you find information to address the questions?
      Next, draw conclusions about how the work you selected relates to the humanities:
  6. Explain why you believe humans have a need to express themselves through created works of cultural and historical significance.
    1. Describe a culture shift or event related to the work you selected. This could be a cultural shift that influenced the creation of the work, or it could be a cultural shift that came about because of it.
    2. Explain how a concept or resource you encountered in this course has informed your explanation. Be sure to cite any sources used.
  7. Explain how you think the act of human creative expression impacts and is impacted by the culture in which it was created.

    2. Explain how a concept or resource you encountered in this course has informed your explanation. Be sure to cite any sources used.
  8. Explain how you believe human creative expression can impact issues we deal with in the present day (contemporary to your coursework, not the future scenario posed above). Be sure to be specific about the issues you are addressing.
    1. Use the insights you gained from studying the work you selected to explain how creative expression can impact today’s issues.

  • Is there a possibility of plagiarism in my completed order?

    We complete each paper from scratch, and in order to make you feel safe regarding its authenticity, we check our content for plagiarism before its delivery. To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text. Unlike popular plagiarism-detection systems, which are used by most universities (e.g. Turnitin.com), we do not report to any public databases—therefore, such checking is safe.

    We provide a plagiarism-free guarantee that ensures your paper is always checked for its uniqueness. Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin. If you want to be 100% sure of your paper’s originality, we suggest you check it using the WriteCheck service from turnitin.com and send us the report.

  • I received some comments from my teacher. Can you help me with them?

    Yes. You can have a free revision during 7 days after you’ve approved the paper. To apply for a free revision, please press the revision request button on your personal order page. You can also apply for another writer to make a revision of your paper, but in such a case, we can ask you for an additional 12 hours, as we might need some time to find another writer to work on your order.

    After the 7-day period, free revisions become unavailable, and we will be able to propose only the paid option of a minor or major revision of your paper. These options are mentioned on your personal order page.

  • How will I receive a completed paper?

    You will get the first version of your paper in a non-editable PDF format within the deadline. You are welcome to check it and inform us if any changes are needed. If everything is okay, and no amendments are necessary, you can approve the order and download the .doc file. If there are any issues you want to change, you can apply for a free revision and the writer will amend the paper according to your instructions. If there happen to be any problems with downloading your paper, please contact our support team.
  • Where do I upload files?

    When you submit your first order, you get a personal account where you can track all your orders, their statuses, your payments, and discounts. Among other options, you will have a possibility to communicate with your writer via a special messenger. You will be able to upload all information and additional materials on your paper using the “Files” tab on your personal page. Please consider uploading everything you find necessary for our writer to perform at the highest standard.
