Question Description

1. In the “Chinese Exclusion Example” by Erica Lee, Lee argues that new Asian immigrants were seen as a threat to the United States because of their race and their labor.  Discuss how Asians were perceived by nativists, and why the Chinese were seen as racially threatening.  Next compare the ideas behind this threat as it persists today in the selection entitled, Neither Black nor White” by Angelo N. Ancheta.  Use support from both essays to explain how the racialization of Chinese immigrants provided a model for evaluating other immigrants from Asia, Mexico, and Southern Europe.
2. Think about where you fit in terms of Helms’ stages of racial identity development (Chapters 6 and 7 of the Helen Fox text “When race breaks out”).  Why do you find yourself in that particular stage (what life experience has contributed or not contributed to your racial identity development)?

Question Description

the answer have to be 2 pages for each of the following questions. total 8 pages
1. The core method of anthropology is ethnography. It requires participant observation, the use of symbols, finding a key informant, thick description, and conversations with natives. Using Spradley Ethnography and Culture, Next door but Invisible, and Growing up Hunting, describe in detail how the method works. Contrast Next Door but Invisible and Growing Up Hunting in terms of the guiding (why) and subsidiary (who, what, and how) questions asked, the techniques used, and the potential results.
2. As anthropologists we are trying to get at the cognitive maps of people in different cultures. Using Shakespeare in the Bush, Space Speaks, Wears Jump Suits…, and A Look Behind the Veil describe what is essential in the cognitive maps described in each. Give an example from each article, showing one aspect of how their/our cognition shapes the way we actually behave.
3. Corporate culture analysis starts with the idea that businesses are cultural, because like cultures in general they need to solve problems, evolve different cognitive maps, sets of social relationships, etc. Describe, using How and why Corporations are Cultures, some of the cultural characteristics of businesses. Give an example of cultural ideologies. Explain why this method should help you even in dealing with foreign business culture, using Using Skills for Cooperative Advantage in Japan.
4. Anthropologists are interested not only in the cognitive map, but the behaviors that derive from it. Using Life Without Chiefs, When Brothers Share a Wife show how the requirements of societies shape the way we practice marriage, and organize our societies to accomplish ends. How does this organization of relationships affect tribal societies? In a pluralistic state like ours, using Gross, Ethnicity and How we got the Color of our Skin, how do we define and rank people according to their differences. Give examples.

Question Description

【Instructions】
Please write three to four page papers—a total of six to eight pages double-spaced,
addressing two prompts below. Make sure to include a clear thesis, clear points supporting your
argument(s) and a clear conclusion. Please include citations (any style), one-inch margins all
around and a bibliography of works cited on an additional page; use eleven or twelve-point
Times New Roman, Times, Calibri, Ariel or Cambria fonts (please choose just one).
I also attached two PDF below, and they basically cover the main answers of the following two questions. You just need to combine those key ideas with some of the readings that I list from bottom to support the main argument.
【Prompt 1】
How did the religions of Japan (please name the religions) support the ascetic lifestyle of the samurai, buttress the central feudal government, help cement social relations (between elite social actors, and between elites and commoners), assist in the move from feudalism to capitalism during the Meiji Restoration, and form a foundation for militarization during the Meiji, Taisho and early Showa periods? Make sure to discuss Kokutai. What of the contributions of Christianity?
【Prompt 2】
Discuss the similarities and differences of policing in Japan and the United States. Focus your response on social history—the difference between honor-based and contract-based social systems. Also, discuss how honor-based criminal enterprises exist in both Japan and the United States. Finally, reflect on Yakuza as functional to socio-economic relations, sociopolitical relations, and more generally to societal relations in Japan.
