ANTH 411 Exam 2
Social Inequality - correct answer ✔Ways people are differently ranked or
valued


Social Stratification - correct answer ✔Arranged groups of people into layers
of superiority/inferiority and inequality


Ascribed Status - correct answer ✔Given at birth


Achieved Status - correct answer ✔Something you earn/achieve through
your own actions


Race - correct answer ✔A flawed system of classification, created and re-
created over time, that uses certain physical characteristics (skin color, eye
shape, hair texture, eye color) to divide the human population into a few
supposedly discrete biological groups and attribute them to unique
combinations of physical capacity, mental capacity, personality traits, cultural
patterns, capacity for civilization. NO BIOLOGICAL BASIS.


Cultural Construction of Race - correct answer ✔Race is defined and
described differently from culture to culture but confers
advantages/disadvantages, influences thoughts, beliefs, actions from a very
young age, plays into social inequality and social stratification. ASCRIBED
(category assigned from birth) not achieved.


Jared Diamond - correct answer ✔"Race Without Color". Deconstructs
category of "race". From a biological standpoint, race is based on skin color is
significantly useless. There are more variations within racial categories than
between them. Race is a CULTURAL category, not a biological one.

, "A Girl Like Me" - correct answer ✔Director Kiri Davis, produced for a high
school literature class, issues surfaced concerning the standards of beauty
imposed on today's black girls and how this affects their self-image.


Peggy McIntosh - correct answer ✔"White Privilege"
Urges us to distinguish between the positive advantages we wish everyone
would have and that we can all work to spread
AND
The negative types of advantages that unless one challeneged and corrected,
will always reinforce current racial hierarchies.


What is "white privilege"? - correct answer ✔An invisible package of
unearned assets which I can count on cashing in on...but about which I was
meant to remain oblivious
Whites are taught to think of their lives as morally neutral, normative, and
average, and also ideal, so that when we work to benefit others, this is seen
as work which will allow "them" to be more like "us"
I did not see myself as a racist because I was taught to recognize racism only
in individual acts of meanness by members of my group, never in invisible
systems conferring unsought racial dominance on my group since birth


Reciprocity: Balanced - correct answer ✔Equal status, relationship of
exchange (A and B give back and fourth)


Reciprocity: Generalized - correct answer ✔People give what they can and
take what they need from pooled resources
"sharing" among the Ju/'hoansi


Hxaro - correct answer ✔Balanced reciprocity
Delayed form of non-equal exchange
