- | In ANTH 1001, Ryan and Jadran want to argue that people are incomplete without the input from their social environment which determines how they see themselves, how they see other people, what they think is right and wrong, and what the purpose of their own lives are. This has two important aspects to it. First, there is no one single way to be human because humans are products of their particular cultures. Second, no person is an island; every person is part of a community of other people, and this community is held together and made into a system through the worldview that people in this community share, and which they transmit to the next generation. Human beings are defined by their diversity, but that diversity shows us that there are universals, specifically the capacity to acquire cultural patterns of thought and action, and the capacity to participate in a culture as a system. | + | |
