Overview
Anthropologists will often conduct research to objectively evaluate cultural practices. Cultural anthropology is the branch of anthropology that deals specifically with human culture. Studying cultural anthropology provides a great amount of insight into other cultures. It can also shed light on and create a deeper understanding and appreciation of one’s own culture. For example, is the culture that you are observing similar to your own culture? If so, you might not even recognize cultural nuances, because they seem “normal” to you. On the other hand, if you see behavior or hear language and slang that you do not recognize, it is likely because the culture differs from your own.
In this course, you were introduced to cultural anthropology and the anthropological concepts that are used to study and understand people, their culture, and their behavior. In the final project film study, you will have the chance to become a cultural anthropologist. The film study is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of what culture is, the role it plays in people’s lives, as well as how it influences behavior. In order to do so, you will need to recognize and describe the culture portrayed in the film and discuss cultural values and norms that you observe. You will use anthropological concepts to analyze and explain the behavior of characters, or conflict between the characters, in your chosen film. You will also compare the cultures represented in the film to your own culture.
Select one film from the approved film list. You may select a different film with instructor approval.
Select three of the following anthropological core concepts to discuss in your film study:
Acculturation
Assimilation
Cultural Symbols/Symbolism
Enculturation
Ethnocentrism
Gender
Globalization
Kinship
Marriage
Modernization
Political Systems/Power
Religion/Systems of Belief
Rites of Passage
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The final product will be submitted in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Articulate observations about the role of culture in human societies for how it influences the human condition
Utilize basic anthropological concepts in explaining the beliefs, practices, and cultural norms of different cultures
Apply basic practices of cultural anthropologists for interpreting interactions between individuals or groups
Utilize the basic principles of cultural relativism when observing and interpreting other cultures and subcultures
Prompt
For this film study, imagine that you are a cultural anthropologist. Instead of observing real people in the real world, you will observe the actions and cultural practices of the characters in a chosen film. As you watch the film, pay attention to the cultural values and norms that you observe. You will also choose three anthropological concepts and explore how each concept influences the behavior of the characters. Finally, you will reflect on how this exercise has led you to think more deeply about other cultures, as well as your own. Remember, as a cultural anthropologist, you are an objective observer. Therefore, it is important to use the basic principles of cultural relativism as you write about the cultures and subcultures that you observe in the film.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Cultural Relativism: Throughout the course you have practiced using cultural relativism. In the entirety of your film study, you must do the following:

Use respectful language throughout the film study when describing your observations of characters’ behaviors and their cultures.

Avoid making judgments about the characters based on your own beliefs or cultural norms.

Remain objective when comparing and contrasting cultures, and avoid saying that one culture is better than another.

Introduction: In this section of your film study, you will introduce the film and the three anthropological concepts that you selected.

Provide the title and a brief synopsis of the film that you chose to examine.
Develop a clear thesis statement that identifies the three anthropological concepts that you chose to examine in the film.

Culture: In this section of your film study, you will address how culture is represented in the film.

Describe two cultures that are represented in the film. You may also concentrate on subcultures here.
Identify the cultural norms and values that you observed for each of those two cultures, and provide examples from the film to support your identification.
Explain the similarities and differences that you observed between these cultures.
Describe a scene in which a cultural difference exists between characters and explain how that cultural difference affected their interaction.

Anthropological Concepts: In this section of your film study, use the three anthropological concepts that you identified in your thesis statement to explain the behavior of the characters in three scenes of the film.

Briefly explain how each of the three anthropological concepts is relevant to film.

Concept One: Explain the influence of your first anthropological concept on a character’s behavior in a specific scene.

Concept Two: Explain the influence of your second anthropological concept on a character’s behavior in a specific scene.

Concept Three: Explain the influence of your third anthropological concept on a character’s behavior in a specific scene.

Application: In this section of your film study, you will think more broadly about using methods of cultural anthropology to understand other cultures and your own culture.

Imagine that you are able to conduct an informal interview with one of the film’s characters, instead of simply observing them. Identify interview questions that you would ask and explain how those questions would help you gain a better understanding of the character’s cultural practices.
Compare your own culture to a culture that is represented in the film. What similarities and differences do you see?
After thinking about these cultural similarities and differences, reflect on how your own culture may have impacted your initial interpretation of the behavior that you observed in the film.

Conclusion: In this section of your film study, you will summarize your findings and explain what you took away for this project.

Explain what this project taught you about the influence of culture on the overall human experience. In other words, how does culture shape who we are?
Explain what applying the three anthropological concepts to the film taught you about how beliefs, practices, and cultural norms shape one’s behavior.
Explain how this project will influence your interpretation of interactions in your own daily life.

Overview
An effective presentation includes a summary of the main points in the slides, but the presenter should add additional content in the speaker notes to help explain each point. Some presenters have the the ability to memorize the details through cues in the outline of the presentation, and some can even speak off the cuff. However, for this project, you will create speaker notes for the slides in your presentation, which is due in Module Eight. This will help you consider the outline of your presentation and the content you want to include on each slide.
Prompt
For this assignment, you will be drafting the speaker notes that will accompany your 5- to 7-slide presentation. The speaker notes can be bullet points related to each item on the slides, or more developed paragraphs that help you fill in the details you wouldn’t include on the slides. This choice is up to you, but either way, the speaker notes should contain substantial details that address each of the required parts of your presentation.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Provide a brief overview of the scientific background of your issue and question. How does the issue relate to the natural sciences?
Explain how the issue impacts the audience. In other words, how is the issue relevant to members of the audience? Why should the audience care about the response to your question or the outcome of your hypothesis? Support your response with specific examples from your research investigation.
Describe the empirical evidence you have to support your conclusions about the impact of the issue on you personally and on your audience. Support your response with specific examples from your research investigation.
Explain why this issue is important to you personally. In other words, why did you select this issue to investigate?
Illustrate how your investigation of the issue impacted the way you thought about the issue. In other words, how did thinking like a scientist to research, develop a question, and formulate a hypothesis affect what you thought about the issue you selected? How did scientific thinking change the lens through which you viewed the issue? Support your response with specific examples from your research investigation.
Communicate your message in a way that is tailored to your specific audience. For instance, you could consider your vocabulary, your audience’s potential knowledge of current natural science (or lack thereof), and what is specifically important to the audience. This element will not necessarily be a separate slide or step in the process. In your notes that address the previous six prompts, note word choices or pieces that are specifically tailored for your audience.
What to Submit
The draft of your speaker notes can be bullet points or paragraphs related to each item on the slides. Submissions should be 2–4 pages, double spaced, with 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. You should use current APA guidelines (or another format approved by your instructor) for any references. For your final project, please keep in mind that these speaker notes will accompany 5–7 slides.

Consider the professional and ethical codes contained in section 5 for Behavioral analysts.  Look at the ethical code and individual elements being discussed for the week. Do a search for a current event or news story that highlights a violation of one of the specific elements addressed during the week.  Because behaviorism addresses all  human behavior across disciplines and environments, you may search broadly. Post the article as a link or a document for your classmates and briefly summarize the news story;  give a behavioral interpretation of the occurrence or event. What was the human behavior(s) occurring?  Was this behavior ethical through the lens of the BACB Ethical code for Behavior Analysts?  If our Ethical Code were applied to this story, what would the violation be?

  
Objective: The purpose of this activity is to utilized Bloom’s Taxonomy level IV & V to assist students refining their clinical reasoning skills by linking scientific knowledge to assessment and intervention planning.

Instructions: Each student is expected to complete on their own!
Step #1 – Scientific knowledge forms the backdrop for clinical reasoning! Find out ALL you can about the condition.  
Students may use textbooks, scholarly websites, and articles etc. to discover scientific information about the diagnosis.  
Step #2 – Knowing what you know about the condition now – find out what occupational therapy assessments and interventions would be appropriate for a person with this condition.
Additionally, identify the intervention approaches that can be utilized for the condition (health promotion, compensation, adaptation, prevention, restoration, and maintenance from the OTPF. 
Students should begin to integrate the information, and defend their choices of each assessment/intervention to foster critical thinking about how contexts, personal factors, and activity might affect their choices of assessments and interventions. 
Step #3- Students will identify relevant frames of references to use with the diagnosis and justify their choices.
Step #4 –  Student will identify occupational problem areas the diagnosis may impact along with associated limitations/barriers. Each occupational problem area should link to a limitation/barrier. 
Step #5 – Students will utilize the provided case study that includes various contexts, personal factors, and activities select relevant and appropriate occupational therapy assessments for the case study. Additionally, students will design a relevant and meaningful interventions for the case study. The student should develop their interventions considering the client’s contextual issues, interests, activities, personal factors, and practice setting.
