1. The document provides instructions for a Cultural Anthropology Test with 4 questions. Students are asked to answer each question in complete sentences on a separate sheet of paper and send their responses to mike.e.berry@gmail.com as a PDF file named with their name and "Test 4". 2. The first question asks students to discuss a religious holiday that has both secular and religious aspects in its celebration, providing examples of each. 3. The second question asks about forms of body art in students' societies and communities, and the possible meanings and uses of one form of body art they discuss based on what was learned in the chapter.

1. Cultural Anthropology Test 4

I would prefer if you sent this to me as a pdf if possible. No worries if you aren’t tech savvy
enough to pull that off. (just another reason to own a Mac:)
Regardless, please use your name and “Test 4” as the file name for your document.

3. Sports and games are identified by the authors of the text as a category of the "arts,"

4. Some would argue that colonialism has been replaced by other forms of exploitation,
perhaps as equally insidious. Can you make some comparisons between underlying
features of colonialism and the "global market economy"? Briefly discuss, in an essay of
one or more paragraphs, the processes or structural aspects that appear to have some
equivalence.
