Cultural determinism is the belief that the culture in which we are raised determines who we are at emotional and behavioral levels. This supports the theory that environmental influences dominate who we are instead of biologically inherited traits. Yet another way of looking at the concept of cultural determinism is to contrast it with the idea of environmental determinism. The latter is the idea that the physical world- with all its constraints and potentially life-altering elements-is responsible for the make-up of each existing culture. Contrast this with the idea that we (humans) create our own situations through the power of thought, socialization, and all forms of information circulation. It is also used to describe the concept that culture determines economic and political arrangements. It is an idea which has recurred in many cultures over human history, from ancient civilizations through the present. From Wikipedia under the

I dont understand this question one bit. I even look up determinism and the definition still wasnt clear to me.. Could you help a sister out please.. If you had to choose a single determinism(cultural, technological, or economic) as basic to social change, which one would you pick?Why?In what ways might the professed motive of Western explores and colonists have differed from their real motives?Would they necessarily have been aware of the discrepancy? thx to all the helpers Asked by Jassy - Tue Feb 5 09:26:32 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. The first quest asks what causes social change? Economic status? Race? Gender? Technology? How are people motivated to form a social movement. The second question asks how early explorers are different from what they said. The Pilgrims wanted to escape religious intolerance, but was that the REAL reason they left England? The last question asks if they would have even known they were doing it for different reasons.

Patriarchy is a theory comparable to that of institutional racism - ie, it is not that individuals are attempting to be racist, but that the system / society acts against people of a certain race, inadvertently. For example, let's say there was a law that circumcised men could not become doctors, this would affect some races more than others. Likewise, patriarchy is the theory that institutional systems act, often inadvertently, against women. So before we had pregnancy and maternity leave, a woman would have to take time off sick to have a child, and too much time off sick would lead to her being sacked. I do not concern myself too much with patriarchy, as I believe in personal, rather than social explanations / solutions to… [cont.] Answered by Eleanor B - Mon Sep 15 18:39:46 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Cultural determinism" |
