Writing from scratch

TOPIC: Analyze a case study to explore the structure of society

Respond to each question separately Make connections to concepts in the book, lecture, and/or film–include at least two
references to the book, lecture, and/or film in your discussion of each question.

Select the following articles to read and respond to the questions posed below. 
NOTE:  some of the articles are quite old and these societies may have changed since. 
That is okay as it is important to just look at how things worked in the past as well!!!

Address these questions based on the article you read:
Be sure to include the name of the article at the top of your post. 

DO NOT QUOTE–PARAPHRASE ONLY AND CITE PROPERLY

1.  Describe the general nature of the society/subculture/or group in question as depicted in the article
(be sure to state what group is involved and where the study occurred).
2.  Identify and explain three important cultural practices (i.e., belief, rituals, food ways, social organization, etc.) 
depicted in the article.  How do these components work together?
3.  What does the case study tell us about the society in general?
Of course you will not have the total picture of any group in these articles but there is information about
certain practices as they relate to specific groups.  So dive in and dig it out.
