How did Gomberg-Muñoz become interested in this project? What are her two primary arguments in the book? How is this fieldwork different from typical anthropological ethnography fieldwork (especially consider legal status and ethnography within U.S.)? What ethical dilemmas does the author face? Why does she spend time in both the preface and chapter 1 discussing terminology used in the book? What is the braceros program? How does globalization influence undocumented migration? Why is this answer more complex than just, “migrants come here for jobs?”

Discuss what triggers magic to occur, and the ritual comes from an overarching myth.

The focus this week is on Divination. Utilize the readings more, but also a bit of the weeks notes. You may discuss any point the reading brings up as you please. One point we have established is that Ritual is what triggers magic to occur, and the ritual comes from an overarching myth. My issue was that I was too focused on the lecture material, and not enough on the readings, so please utilize them how you feel will be easiest to interpret Myth, Ritual, and Magic.

Can you identify evidence for animal domestication in the faunal data and is there any circumstantial evidence for plant domestication?

The Archeological Research

Describe patterns of seasonal site distribution. There is no reason to suspect that any one group’s subsistence area incorporated the entire area, nor that all people living in the region followed the same subsistence pattern.

1. Can you identify evidence for animal domestication in the faunal data and is there any circumstantial evidence for plant domestication? If so,in what sites and during what periods do you find this evidence?

2. What factors do you think led to the domestication of animals (and perhaps plants) in this region? Do you think human population pressure played a role? And do the data support Ingold’s alternative interpretation of the trajectory of domestication?

3. What seems to be the impact of domestication on human lifeways in terms of mobility, group size, and political economy? Do you see evidence of major changes in the use of natural resources around these sites that are correlated with domestication?

4. Are there certain areas where domestication seems not to have occurred,or domesticates are lacking? What reasons might explain these absences – i.e., what factors may have led to the domestication of
animals and plants in some subregions, and not others?

5. Consider how your SAMPLE data relate to the POPULATION of animals from which they were drawn. You obviously have only a few sites’ worth of data to work with, and you’re relying on limited excavations even within those sites (i.e., 10% of their total area). Also, your survey data is from a relatively small geographical area. In what ways might the sampling procedure be influencing your interpretations? If you had only dealt with one site from among all those in the area, would you have been able to come to the same conclusions about settlement patterns and the timing and location of domestication?

Which psychosocial interventions could help improve migrants’ and refugees’ mental health in the transit and host countries?

Elaborate an integrated essay based on the three questions below:

1. What can be discussed about the social and cultural dimensions of suffering?

2. Discuss why Migration can be considered as a Social Determinant of Mental Health.

3. Which psychosocial interventions could help improve migrants’ and refugees’ mental health in the transit and host countries?

What lessons can we take from the COVID-19 pandemic to approach mental health from a biopsychosocial perspective?

1. Discuss why it is relevant to consider ethnic differences when understanding and addressing Mental Health.

2. Considering the authors reviewed in class, what can be discussed about the social and cultural dimensions of suffering?

3. Discuss why Migration can be considered as a Social Determinant of Mental Health.

4. Based on the problems analyzed in the readings and considering your perspective, which psychosocial interventions could help improve migrants’ and refugees’ mental health in the transit and host countries?

5. What lessons can we take from the COVID-19 pandemic to approach mental health from a biopsychosocial perspective?

Describe the form that each of these takes in Homo sapiens and what that says about our behavior,biology,or evolution.

The traits used to distinguish between primate taxa are dental characteristics, behavioral adaptations, and locomotor adaptations.

Describe the form that each of these takes in Homo sapiens and what that says about our behavior, biology,or evolution.

In other words, if an alien scientist were studying a human skeleton, what would they be able to tell about our diet, behavior,and locomotion?

Illustrate ways in which more gender equality might influence the decisions about conflict resolution.Discuss how gender roles were divided.

Reflection 3

Watch the following YouTube Video

Iroquois Confederacy: First Democracy of the Americas (22:20) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4_vwKyeG58

Assignment

Write a 3-to-4-page reflective paper on the question, “Is democracy the best to govern?” Include supporting information from the video.

Use these questions and statements below as some guidelines for the reflective paper:

Give a brief history of the Iroquois confederacy. Explain what you think made it work.

Demonstrate how important it is to use holism when trying to set up a society and the way that society will be governed.

Discuss why the long house is such an important concept. What does it symbolize?

In addition, discuss what was so significant about the way they planted their main crops and what does that represent metaphorically?

Explain how the Iroquois passed down history and learning about their culture? Include why it is so important to hear this emic view and why language is important to this way of transmitting history.

Retell when the way of life for the Iroquois began to change and what type of changes this brought. Explore if you think language also changed as these changes occurred. Why would that be important?

Illustrate ways in which more gender equality might influence the decisions about conflict resolution. Discuss how gender roles were divided.

Examine how the Iroquois were treated during the negotiation process. Were they treated fairly?

Explain how this goes against the concept of democracy. When was it recognized that the Iroquois contributed to the founding of democracy? Discuss problems that still exist.

In the video a point about conflict resolution comes about when they mention Lacrosse. Explain what significance that would have?

Describe the concept of “everyone has a gift” mentioned in the video.

Explore situations you see today that might benefit from these concepts being applied today.
