Ferraro Text in class/cabinet (not Nanda and Warms)
5
Acculturation Takes place as a result of sustained contact between two societies, one of which is subordinate to the other. Involves the widespread reorganization of one or both cultures over a short period of time. Both the dominant and subordinate culture experience changes, but the subordinate culture changes most dramatically.
6
Consequences of Acculturation The subordinate culture could: Become extinct Be incorporated as a distinct subculture of the dominant group Be assimilated (blended) into the dominant group
7
Acculturation The Skolt Lapps adopted snowmobiles in the 1960s to help them become more efficient reindeer herders.
8
Linked Changes A single innovation may set off changes in other parts of a culture. Television – Introduced during the 1950s. – Replaced the the radio as the major form of electronic communication in U.S. Households. – Had consequences for other parts of the culture, such as the family system, the political process, and religious institutions.
9
Linked Changes The increased use of cell phones by inattentive pedestrians on busy streets has led to a significant rise in auto accidents.
10
Cultural Boundaries Strengthen a culture’s traditions and discourage cultural borrowing: – Language – Eating habits – Clothing – Folklore – Humor
11
Indigenous Populations Refers to a group of people who are: Original inhabitants of a region. Identify with a specific, small-scale cultural heritage. Have no significant role in the government. Examples: the small-scale cultures in Asia, Africa, and the Americas that came under the influence of the colonial powers during the past several centuries.
12
Indigenous Populations If the Shasta Dam, located in Northern California, is elevated by 18 feet (as proposed), the last remaining sacred sites of the Winnemem Wintu Indians will be destroyed.
13
Change And Development Today’s world can be roughly divided into two broad categories of countries: the haves and the have-nots. In terms of comparative income, Canada’s per capita income is 170 times higher than Mozambique’s, and the average U.S. citizen earns approximately 178 times more money as the average Ethiopian.
14
Economic Disparity The income of the average Canadian is 170 times greater than that of this man from Mozambique, Africa.
15
Modernization Theory The theory that explains economic development in terms of the inherent sociocultural differences between the rich and the poor. Includes many of the assumptions as the Culture of poverty view, an interpretation of poverty that suggests that poor people pass certain cultural features on to their children that tend to reinforce and perpetuate poverty.
16
World Systems Theory An attempt to explain levels of economic development in terms of the exploitation of the poor by the rich nations of the world, rather than in terms of innate socioeconomic characteristics of each. Economic development occurs when one group purposefully increases its own wealth at the expense of others.
17
Neocolonialism The economic, political, and military influence that developed nations continue to exert over less developed countries, even though the official period of colonization ended in the 1960s.

Shadowed Lives: Quiz Globalization and Intro/Ch 1 Shadowed Lives Tell me 5 things about Shadowed Lives in terms of Anthropological terms/concepts: i.e. Migrant labor demonstrates transnationalism: people living in the USA maintain strong ties to their home countries: letters, phone calls, sending/wiring money, and if possible travelling back to visit. Why does Chavez use the term “undocumented immigrants”? How is this ethnography different from the others you have studied, focus on specifics like methods and or intent/purpose?
25
Shadowed Lives: What is the modernization theory? How do the John Bodley and Diamond articles discuss the price of modernization? Give an example of how globalization has affected one of the people in the ethnographies we have studied: Who is Arthur Gennep?:
