Read the section about Culture and Personality in Anthropology. Answer these questions about that section:-

1.       Define “Anthropology” in your own words
The scientific that study human’s culture, behavior, psychology and physical.
2.       What do you understand by “socialization of children” Give an example


Socialization makes personality trend.

Shape people’s emotions, ethics, beliefs, behaviors.
3.       Read this sentence again and give examples of childrearing in different societies and cultures: “socialization creates personality patterns. It helps shape people’s emotions, thoughts, behaviors, cultural values and norms to fit into and function as productive members in the surrounding human society. The study of culture and personality demonstrates that different socialization practices such as childrearing in different societies (cultures) result in different personality types.”

Childrearing in different societies helps shape people’s emotions, thoughts, behaviors, cultural values and norms.
4.       Read this sentence again and say to what extent you agree: “all humans are the same when born, but childrearing in different societies causes deviations in behavior and personalities from each other.”
In my perspective, all humans have the same instinct but they have different personalities depending on their blood types and DNA. I agree that several societies affect on humans behavior. On the other hand, I disagree with that all humans are the same when born because we can see some children are curious but other not.

5.       Reflect on the reading above. Can you see a link between your culture and your personality? Think about that in relation to your own culture first, and then think about personality and culture in a different society. Reflect. Give examples.


Everyone has unique features which called personality. Humans believe according to their cultural and that will affect on their personality through time. Culture in a different society shapes people with different personalities and behaviors.
