GENERAL
DESCRIPTION:
Faces
of Culture, an introductory cultural anthropology course, is
a provocative study of the structure and process of culture. This
telecourse features dramatic and unique film footage from around
the world, embracing cultures from all continents, highlighting
major life-styles, and illustrating human adaptation to environment
from the beginnings of the human species to the present.
Faces
of Culture focuses on the thesis that every society is based
on an integrated culture that satisfies human needs and facilitates
survival. The course also explores the ways in which our won culture
fits into the broad range of human possibilities.
