EXAM 1
Instructions:
Answer the following 2 questions in short essays (length is up to you, but no shorter than 400 words each.) The exam is open book and notes, make sure to specifically refer to the textbook, websites, and films as examples in your answers. ChatGPT has not watched these movies and will make errors of facts and analysis. As throughout the semester, specific answers will get more credit than vague one – this is your chance to demonstrate that you have engaged with all the course material. There is no time limit for this exam but it is due on Blackboard, by 8 p.m. on February 6.
Questions:
1. If you were going to study an aspect of the culture of students at High Point University as an anthropologist, what research question would you create? Why would you ask that specific question? How would you collect your data and why would you use those specific methods? What methods would you use to analyze the data you have collected? What is a mental map of reality at HPU that you might include in your research? Which groups of students would be easiest for you to study and which the most difficult? Why are some groups harder to study than others? Can you think of an example of where the concept of “zero” as discussed in your textbook, would be useful in your research? Thinking specifically about the issues that Nancy Scheper Hughes faced in Ireland, what ethical concern would you have to consider before conducting your fieldwork at HPU?
Below, is the Nancy Scheper Hughes article

2. How do systems of power intersect with language? Using specific examples from our textbook and the films we have watched in class discuss how the Cherokee language and Southern accents (specifically the Charlotte accent) illustrate the intersection of language and power. How does the status of the Cherokee language in the past and the present demonstrate issues of language loss, globalization, and resistance? Discuss how the Southern accent is perceived in American society and how this affects the attitudes of the people interviewed in the film watched. Is a southern accent considered to be a marker of prestige? Why or why not.
