SECOND ASSIGNMENT BELOW…..
In Chapter 10 Power and Politics in Seeing Anthropology we learn about local political organizations and examine power, authority, resistance, and conflict resolution across cultures.
Discuss a conflict and solution presented in one of the earlier chapter film clips in the light of lessons and concepts imparted in Chapter 10. Your discussion should be about 300 words in length. Direct attention to the social groups in the conflict, persons who have authority to address conflict, rules and, if applicable, rituals applied to mediate the dispute according to the local cultural norms, values, and expectations. Briefly comment on the qualities and identity of leaders who have authority to address conflict among the group represented in the film clip you selected for this assignment. Effective responses will direct attention to symbols encoded in actions articulated in defining and resolving conflicts.
