My Cultural Autobiography
This paper should allow each of you to introspect about your own life and culture. Exploring
your past, present and incorporating your future dreams, goals and aspirations. You will be
defining who you are and why are you are the way you are? This introspection is important
and at times painful, exhilarating and arduous. You should start from the beginning of this
course thinking about this most simple but difficult question. Please trust the process and give
200% in completing your personal cultural autobiography.
You may utilize the following questions and the information provided, along with your
understanding of the anthropological topics discussed during this course to help you organize,
process and create the outline necessary to complete this final requirement. The order in which
the questions are presented have nothing to do with the outline of your paper. They are
provided as a guide and you don’t have to answer all the questions. Please make sure not to
give a history paper. Think about the videos and chapters you read in your book.
Please make sure to incorporate anthropological terms you have learned
throughout the semester in your paper.
Some terms you may use are: ethnocentrism, enculturation, celebrating rituals,
food have religious significance, the gender roles and constructions (cultural
meanings, not biological), symbolic behavior (flags, wedding rings, money),
impacts of globalization on your culture, how language reflects culture (status,
gender, age, social variables), your culture’s group personality (cooperative,
sharing, aggressive, egocentric), core values, kinship ties and descent, ethnic
psychoses, cultural adaptation and evolution, economic systems (resources, labor,
exchange of goods), marriage and famib2 (obligations, rituals, expectations,
divorce, nuclear/extended family, matrilocal residence), common-interest
associations, age grading, class and gender groupings, function of arts, spirituality
and religious beliefs.
Use your book as a guide and answer these guestions as an anthropologist
would. See relevant chapters on corresponding topics below.
