   Extractions: Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources Unverifiable material may be challenged and removed. Cultural anthropology is one of four fields of anthropology (the holistic study of humanity ) as it developed in the United States . It is the branch of anthropology that has developed and promoted " culture " as a meaningful scientific concept, studied cultural variation among humans, and examined the impact of global economic and political processes on local cultural realities. The anthropological concept of "culture" reflects in part a reaction against earlier Western discourses based on an opposition between " culture " and " nature ", according to which some human beings lived in a "state of nature". Anthropologists have argued that culture is "human nature," and that all people have a capacity to classify experiences , encode classifications symbolically, and teach such abstractions to others. Since humans acquire culture through learning (the processes of enculturation and socialization ), people living in different places or different circumstances may develop different cultures. Anthropologists have also pointed out that through culture people can adapt to their environment in non-genetic ways, so people living in different environments will often have different cultures. Much of anthropological theory has originated in an appreciation of and interest in the tension between the local (particular cultures) and the global (a universal human nature, or the web of connections between people in distinct places/circumstances).

    http://www.seattleu.edu/artsci/anthropology/
    
    Extractions: Anthropology is an integrated and interdisciplinary field. It is by definition holistic in its approach to answering the question: What does it mean to be human? It is ideally suited to a critical understand of the broad past, present, and the future of human experience, cultural interaction, and the person in society. Anthropology, then, is embedded in a real working theory of cultural diversity. A minor in anthropology at Seattle University will prepare students to make their way through the quotidian realities of the cultural, political, and economic worlds in which they live. The minor is designated to go beyond an introductory course and to develop students' abilities and skills in a knowledge of the field that will serve as a foundation for further study and/or career goals. Students pursuing a minor in anthropology will develop a broad understanding of human culture around the world and across time. They will achieve this through two types of classes. One type focuses on a mastering of knowledge of the varieties of human experience and their interactions across space and time. These classes include Introduction to Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, and Personality and Culture. The other class-type will allow students to apply anthropological methods and theories to contemporary problems and topics, i.e.: anthropology of religion, law, health and medicine, Northwest people, and Shamanism

    Extractions: Cultural Anthropology encompasses three broad topics within which are numerous other specialties. Ethnology involves the study of contemporary societies, or societies that exist today. Ethnologists use a technique called participant observation in their research that was developed by Franz Boas Marshall Sahlins used the participant observation method and developed the theory of the original affluent society. He said that foragers are the original affluent society, because members of these societies spend less time working than members of so called civilized societies, and thus have more time for leisure. Napoleon Chagnon has recently studied the Yanomamo using the participant observation method. The study of linguistics is the study of language. Two important ideas in the study of linguistics are the tabula rasa which was developed by John Locke and the Sapir Whorf hypothesis . Archaeologists typically study prehistory by reconstructing a society based on remains. A new subfield of archaeology, historical archaeology, however, deals with history. Lewis Binford and Gordon Willey are important American Archaeologists today.
