A2 Unit 3 Global and Local: How does settlement impact on indigenous people? What is globalisation, westernisation and even McDonaldisation? What were the migration patterns of our ancestors? In this unit students will be introduced to approaches which anthropologists have taken to understanding processes of globalisation and their local impacts. We will look at older and newer forms of globalisation; the movement of people; impact of technological change; sustainable development; threats to and resistance by indigenous societies; and global differences in human nutrition, health and disease. A2 Unit 4 Methods and Investigation: What are some key themes within anthropological study and research? How do anthropologists carry out research and fieldwork? What are the implications of living amongst a tribe? What is 'going native '? How do you fully become a member of the group which you are studying? We will consider the implications of researching humans; ethics in research; the cultural meaning of objects and artefacts; being an insider/outsider; and how anthropological research is used in the public arena, for example, by government. Students will find out how to, and carry out, a small - scale investigation on an anthropological topic of their choice.
