anthropology

This is my first blog ever. Culture to me is a way grouping and classifying like experiences, ideals and norms. Culture also dictates how we act in social situations and how we react to external stimuli. I consider myself somewhat of a luddite; I have no bank account, phone, fixed address, or facebook account. I believe I am part of a counterculture that gives no importance to, and works in opposition to online culture.My link to an online source is the internet itself, and my creation of a blog, which is something I promised myself I would never do. To make light of Tylor and Morgan's work on anthropology I must still be on the lower savage level of development.

  1. hahaha, your determination is awesome!
    It's interesting what kind of countercultures there are, and that they can be run by a either a whole population or just one person....
    Sigmund Freud somehow comes to mind..
    Thanks for sharing.

  2. Sorry that you are forced into something that you promised you would never do! But to paraphrase Sun Tzu, knowing one's enemy can lead to a hundred victories without a single loss.
