Watch Skin Color Is an Illusion https://www.ted.com/talks/nina_jablonski_breaks_the_illusion_of_skin_color1) Race is a powerful and contentious topic in today’s society. How does anthropology, as a discipline, define race? Explain why it is difficult to use biological characteristics to categorize people into races.2) In response to your peers, either agree or disagree with their answers on race and biology. Explain your rationale.Classmate Molly W:In Anthropology the textbook definition of race is defined as a subpopulation of species that are different in gene frequency in comparison to other similar varieties of a species. (Ember 76). In simpler words, Race can be defined as a small group of species that are different genetically in comparison to other small groups of species.It is relatively difficult to use biological characteristics in anthropology to categorize people into races because of its inconsistencies among groups of people. For starters, race is not something that should be categorized by biological characteristics because of the mass diversity that race, holistically, contains. One example of this is would be skin tones, races cannot be defined by this biological trait because there aren’t just 3 to 4 groups that people with “similar” skin colors can go into. There are thousands of skin colors and even the slightest variation of a color could create another group for placements of another set of skin tones. There is also another reason skin tones should not define biological characteristics. Skin color is a dependent variable on the location of a persons dwelling. Where someone lives can determine their skin tone. If a person lives in the Mediterranean, they are likely, but not definite, to have a light to medium tan complexion. However, if one lived in southern Africa, they are likely, but not definite, to have a very dark complexion to accommodate the proximity to the equator. This is not a definite type of way to define where skin tones can occur in the world, but the examples are merely a way to show how there is vast diversity regarding biological traits. This is also is to help show that race cannot be defined as a biological trait. Race is more than a skin tone or where one might live, it defines the group of people holistically. This means it includes a groups culture, lifestyles, languages, ethnicity, and religions. In conclusion, the human races’ skin colors do not define any biological traits that are correlated to matter on a medical form or on a voting ballot. For this reason, and many others that can be found through research, most insinuations on race and its correlations to biological traits and genetics are considered inaccurate.Ember, Carol R., et al.

Part 1: View a feature film made between 1940 – 1970 you have not seen before (or will see later in this class) by a great director. If you would like to see an American film, consider seeing something directed by Frank Capra, George Cukor, John Ford, George Stevens, Preston Sturges, Billy Wilder, or William Wyler. If you would like to try a foreign film, consider Ingmar Bergman (Swedish), Luis Buuel (Spanish), Claude Chabrol (French), Federico Fellini (Italian), Akira Kurosawa (Japanese), Lina Wertmuller (German) or the British team known as The Archers made up of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. These are suggestions, but not a comprehensive list of possibilities. For a much more extensive list, you might want to visit https://www.filmsite.org/directors.html. (Note that many directors were active both before and after 1970. Make sure you see a pre-1970 film, make sure it’s a film you have not seen before, and make sure it is a feature. Don’t, for example, see Buuel’s UN CHIEN ANDALOU, which is a short, not a feature.) Comment on the specific film you saw. Pay particular attention to the camerawork (cinematography) the editing (montage) and the sound (this can include the music). What did you like, and what did you dislike, about what you saw? Why do you like the things you like, and why do you dislike the things you dislike? Is the film a good film, or is it not? (Note: This is not the same question as whether or not you liked it. It is entirely possible to like a film that you are aware is not very good.) You should comment on the film both as a representative of its genre and as a film. Part 2: Now that you have commented on the specific film you viewed, see if you can draw some general conclusions about the work of the director and one of the main actors or actresses. For example let us say you watched the 2012 film Prometheus (no this is a not a film you can watch for this paper). Did you like Ridley Scott as a filmmaker? Did you like Michael Fassbender in the roll of an emotionless android? Why, or why not? Be sure to comment on the overall impression you had of the film, including how you see it as an example of the its genre and time period. Remember, this is not a research paper. I am interested in what you have to say, not in what you can learn by reading up on the film or the filmmaker. Part 3: On a separate page, insert the heading “My Criteria for Quality in Film.” Under that heading, use your comments about this film and its filmmaker as guidelines toward proposing five general statements indicative of your personal taste in movies. These statements should be numbered (1) through (4), and they should be written as complete sentences or a short paragraph. It might be useful to introduce each statement with such language as “Excellent movies feature,” or “A movie is more likely to be good if,” or “A characteristic of high-quality cinema is.” (For example, if you commented in the body of your essay that you liked the acting because it was realistic and you liked the script because it had a happy ending, you could propose these two statements as criteria for quality: “(1) Excellent movies feature realistic acting. (2) A movie is more likely to be good if it ends happily.” Do not just put something like “Good movies feature good acting.” The point here is for you to think aboutand then explainwhat such quality words as good, excellent, and effective actually mean. Be sure to save your “My Criteria” page to your hard driveyou will be adding more items to this list and resubmitting an expanded version of it with for the second paper later in this course.
