Write an essay on the following topic, using only anthropological texts:
• Capitalism and globalisation.
In your essay, chose a particular aspect of the topic and/or a particular country or ethnic group, then compare the different texts you find on that aspect or example, focusing on the following:
1. How anthropologists understand and explain the issue.
2. Discuss how the anthropological perspective aids in understanding the issue.
Important notes for ALL essay options!
You need to do your own independent literature research to illustrate your arguments. You must include at least FOUR anthropological texts in your research, using only the following library databases:
• Anthropology Plus (EBSCO)
• Anthrosource
• JSTOR (note: for this database you must use the advanced search, scroll down and select the filter for Anthropology)
the topic is broad so you need to focus on one or more aspects/examples of the topic –and make it clear in your essay’s introduction how you are doing this. For example, if you choose gender you may want to focus on masculinity, or if you choose culture and ecology you may want to just focus on one country or case study.
