IRANIANS in the United States
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper discusses that Iranian school
textbooks teach that Iranians are only in the
boundaries of the country. There is no mention of
Iranians outside of Iran, and there is no mention
of a single female role model. However in folklore
it is said that, ``Iranians are like water in a
vase. If the vase is a globe, they become a globe;
if the vase is long-necked, they become long-
necked.'' Resolving this duality, or living within
it, is the challenge presented to Iranians who are
now living within the United States.

Concepts of Culture – How Anthropologists’ View the Development of Culture
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the ways in which societal beliefs and prejudices are often echoed in the ostensibly “objective” view of the anthropologist commenting on the situation, individual, or other culturally-affected phenomenon. The works of Theodora Kroeber (“Ishi”), Barbara Myerhoff (“Number Our Days”) and Renato Rosaldo (“Culture and Truth”) are used as the definitive guides to such a new way of anthropological and ethnographic study. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
