Document Summary
Should be perfect in terms of grammar/spelling; expectations are high! You can do hamburger method (intro + 3 body para + conclusion) ! These identities are also expressed through body movements! Anthropologist who wrote early part of 1900s, his work is also used in other social scientists (nephew of durkheim)! Argues that one way is through gift giving, and moreover this practice is universal! What it means is this practice occurs in all cultures that anthropologists have studied! Either strengthens or develops ties with people! Ie. if someone gives you gift for your bday it"s going to look bad if you don"t reciprocate it ! Moreover, in situations with more powerful friendships (boyfriend/girlfriend etc), it should be equal value ! You"ll look bad if it"s not equal value ! Principle of gift giving to establishing social ties is called reciprocity ! It"s not so much the gift but obligation/social ties, new identities given with acts of giving !
