Culture and Personality in Anthropology

Read the section about Culture and Personality in Anthropology. Answer these questions about that section:-

1.       Define “Anthropology” in your own words

its an indication  that not all of the people that share one culture end up having th e same personalities.

2.       What do you understand by “socialization of children” Give an example

how children are developed into a community and indicate the habit. for example;feeding,talking and toilet training.

3.       Read this sentence again and give examples of childrearing in different societies and cultures: “socialization creates personality patterns. It helps shape people’s emotions, thoughts, behaviors, cultural values and norms to fit into and function as productive members in the surrounding human society. The study of culture and personality demonstrates that different socialization practices such as childrearing in different societies (cultures) result in different personality types.”

The children grow up and their personality comes from what they were taught when they are younger. 

4.       Read this sentence again and say to what extent you agree: “all humans are the same when born, but childrearing in different societies causes deviations in behavior and personalities from each other.”  i strongly agree.

5.       Reflect on the reading above. Can you see a link between your culture and your personality? Think about that in relation to your own culture first, and then think about personality and culture in a different society. Reflect. Give examples.

Each culture is different than the other so the personality is most likely to be taken from the culture, example if u grow up in a culture where they raise falcons you wont be scared of them but if you bring a guy from different culture they might get scared because it is dangerous and they didn't use to raise them.
