Question
______ is a written document that draws from research depicting an anthropological culture. A. Ethnography B. Cultural Relativism C. Ethnocentrism D. Ethnobotany
The correct answer is
A
The correct answer is ethnography.
- Anthropology is the study of humanity, which includes prehistoric origins and contemporary human diversity.
- Compared to other subjects that study humanity (such as history, psychology, economics, political science, and sociology), anthropology is broader in scope.
- Anthropology has been around for much longer than these subjects, and it encompasses a wide range of topics.
Additional Information
- Cultural relativism refers to not judging a culture by our own standards of what is right or wrong, strange or normal. Instead, we should try to understand the cultural practices of other groups in their own cultural context.
- Ethnobotany is the study of the relationships between humans and plants; however, the current meaning of the term is the study of indigenous or traditional knowledge of plants.
- This includes plant classification, cultivation, and indigenous knowledge as food, medicine, and shelter.
