SO230 — People & Cultures of the World
A course to give an American look at the anthropological study of world cultures.

General types of cultures such as authority ranking, equality matching, market pricing, cleft, and torn. Cultural characteristics including religion, politics, gender, language, food, and history of the countries will also be examined.
