Explore the basic structure of the field of anthropology, including its subfields, methods of gathering information, and several key concepts. 

To prepare for your initial post, be sure to read the required sections in MindEdge, listed under Required Resources in the Readings and Resources section.

After reading the assigned sections, imagine that you work in the human resources department of a very large, multinational organization working on a growing international health crisis. The new director of the organization has decided to eliminate some positions to save money, and some of the first positions the director has suggested cutting are the anthropologists.

Based on the assignments below, your job is to convince the director why your assigned type of anthropologist (based on the first letter of your last name) is a vital member of the organization.

Introduce yourself to your peers and compose your initial post as an email to the director. Be sure to accomplish the following:

What else would you, as the director of this imaginary multinational organization, want to know about this type of anthropologist? 

I believe in strong separation of church and state. I think there should be separation because they’re so many different religions and accommodating all the them will lead to chaos in America. I also think that they’re are many people who don’t believe or follow a religion so creating laws that account for religion will be a problem for these people. It’s clearly stated in the first amendment that “congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion” so i don’t understand why law makers cant keep following this like we’ve been doing all thee years.  I believe the founding fathers wanted to make sure that religion was completely out of the question when creating laws. There’s absolutely not way to blur lines when making laws, if government allows some laws to accommodate religion then slowly people well start wanting all different types of religions to be accommodated. This is not what the founding fathers wanted they wanted laws to be clean and clear cut so all people can understand them and follow them.

I don’t believe that church and state can be separated strictly in the United States. Till now, religion still has significant influence on the politics in the United States. It seems weird if a person is a atheist that he/she doesn’t believe in any type of religions. Religion blends in the society and influence on people’s daily life, it is hard to separate religion from life. 

For examples, some companies are not willing to hire an atheist; a premise for a marriage is both of the couple has same religion. There is a sad example can be discussed, 11^th September. Every one knows the criminals are Muslim. And last month, the President Trump was issued a strict law that Muslims are not allowed to enter in the United States. This is an example can show that religion have big impact on politics. 

 The first Amendment stated that Congress is not allowed to influence the religion while the Constitution doesn’t say that religion cannot influence on the states.  But I think it is okay to blur the lines. As the United States is a multiple cultural nation, and the religion can make people become closer even though they come from different nations.

Toward the end of the 19th century, metal tools began to filter into the territory of the Yir Yoront, a tribe of the Australian Aborigines. Of particular significance to the Yir Yorontwas the introduction of the steel ax.

While the Aborigines themselves could not manufacture steel ax heads, a steady supply came from missionaries. Tribal members who attended mission festivals were presented with steel axes, but older members of the Yir Yoront shied away from such gatherings because of their earlier experience or knowledge of White people’s harshness. Therefore, women and younger men were more likely to own a steel ax.

Ownership of a steel ax emerged as a measure of status. This was especially significant because the stone ax had generally been possessed by elder males and thus was a symbol of authority. Other tribal members would have to come to an elder if they wanted to use a stone ax, but the possession of the superior steel axes by women and younger men changed all that. A wife or a young son, still uninitiated into adulthood, no longer needed to bow to the husband or father. Instead, the elder, confused and insecure, might have to borrow a steel ax from them. For the woman and boy, the steel ax helped establish a new degree of freedom that was readily accepted as they moved away from traditional values. Also, women, by virtue of ownership of this artifact of outside culture, had a trading power denied to older men.

By the mid-1930s, the Yir Yoront had maintained some of their Aboriginal identity amidst the increasing acceptance of European inventions and values, but the general passing of their culture led Lauristan Sharp to conclude that the Yir Yoront “has passed beyond the reach of any outsider who might wish to do him well or ill . . .” See L. Sharp, “Steel Axes for Stone-Age Australians,” in Technological Change. New York: Russell Sage, 1952, pp. 69–90.

Discuss the changes in the Yir Yoront due to the steel axe. Are there any other cultures that you know of that have hardened themselves against outside influence?
