Caste system and class has almost a similar meaning to it‚ the only difference is that caste use titles

I found Karen McCarthy Brown’s Mama Lola to be an innovative and intimate “ethnographic spiritual biography” exploring the lived realities‚ material and immaterial‚ of a Haitian Voudou priestess and her family in New York City from the late 1970’s through the 1980’s. (xiv) Brown’s approach is innovative because she treats her subjects’ as multivocal and fluid. Brown heeds her own advice and contrary to most ethnographic scholars before her‚ appropriately represents her own‚ albeit limited‚ voice

“family man”. We used many methods to study young adult males and their purchasing patterns. We believed that it we were able to recognize their patterns‚ it may lead us to the reasons behind the lack of brand awareness in young adult males. The ethnographic research that was conducted led us to conclude that young males take into consideration many different factors when purchasing body-care products.

Primate Behavior The animal that most resembles us is the ape. At the zoo‚ it is easy to observe behavioral and facial expressions in monkeys and apes that are very much similar to our own. A group of apes could very well seem like a family. A mother taking care of her young may seem familiar to the human onlooker. This is because the ape is our closest living relative. In the documentary Primate Behavior‚ anthropologists observe the behavior of monkeys and primates. The primates are mostly observed

I had some trouble coming up with a site that allows me to feel connected to it because a lot of the other sites that I go to more often do not signify anything special particular about my character.
