Document Summary
Final exam: 2 questions atleast from movie and pictures on exam. Economics in western, monetary terms, but cross-culturally other nations do not represent money purely through $ So we look how cultures take resources that are desirable and how they distribute through society. Land (physical) what is below and above ground. Includes technology; also referring to knowledge, material object and how to use it. Examples: among hunting people, always owned communally, such as land. Contrasting: we own land individually, in our society. All societies recognize division of labour based on age and sex. In our society, these divisions are now being melted together. Children in the west get away with a lot, as other kids around the world take much more responsibility, they fufill more tasks, mimicking their parents works. We convert resources to goods, to desirable material and distribute it, related to kinship. Reciprocity old definition: exchanging goods without use of money.
