Question

If someone can give me a 150 reply to both of these you would be amazing. it just has to be commenting about them.

I choosed Margaret Mead, she was born on December 16,1901 in Philadelphia.She died in November 17, 1978 in a hospital in New York.

She was an American cultural anthropologist and write, she loved to study nonliterate peoples of Oceania.She also commented on a wide array of societal issues, such as women's rights, nuclear proliferation, race relations, environmental pollution, and world hunger. In her first study, Coming of Age in Samoa (1928), she observed that Samoan children moved with relative ease into the adult world of sexuality and work, in contrast to children in the United States, where lingering Victorian restraints on sexual behavior and the increasing separation of children from the productive world made youth a needlessly difficult time.
One of her famous theory’s was the theory of imprinting found that children learn by watching adult behavior.A decade later, Mead qualified her nature vs. nurture stance somewhat in Male and Female (1949), in which she analyzed the ways in which motherhood serves to reinforce male and female roles in all societies. She continued nevertheless to emphasize the possibility and wisdom of resisting traditional gender stereotypes.

When funding for her field research in the South Pacific was cut during World War II, she founded the Institute for Intercultural Studies in 1944.

i think her theories helped a lot to our society like her theory of kids are influence by their parents behaviors, because I think back then they would think oh why does my child cuss so much or is so aggressive but it was becaause they would see that behavior at home.





Gregory Bateson was born on May 9, 1904 in Grantchester, United Kingdom

He died July 4, 1980 in San Francisco

Bateson focused on Ecological anthropology and cybernetics, he also was in these fields social scientist , linguistics , cybernetics and systems theory

Bateson was one of the most important and least understood thinkers, he originated the double blind theory of schizophrenia, was the first to apply cybernetic theory to the social sciences and he made discoveries about a nonhuman species as the dolphin

Bateson interested me because he did many different things. He was in many different fields, he as one of the most understood thinkers in his time, he not only studied so many things but he also wrote books about his studies. Like the book " steps to an ecology of mind" it has essays about anthropology , cybernetics , psychiatry, and epistemology. Overall he was a busy man and he took his studies and his work every serious , it was important to him and that's why I took an interest in him .


thank you anyone

Margaret Mead Biography

Born: December 16, 1901

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Died: November 15, 1978

New York, New York

American anthropologist

The American anthropologist (a scientist who studies human beings and their origins, distribution, and relationships) Margaret Mead developed the field of culture and personality research and was a leading influence in introducing the concept of culture into education, medicine, and public policy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Academic life

The Columbia department at this time consisted of Boas, who taught everything, and Ruth Benedict (1887–1948), his only assistant. The catastrophe of World War I (1914–18; a war between the Central Powers—led by Germany—and the Allies: England, the United States, Italy, and other nations) and the displacement of people that followed had its impact on the developing study of anthropology. Anthropologists began to ask how their knowledge of the nature of humankind might be used to clarify current problems. At the same time, the influence of Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was beginning to affect all of the behavioral (human action) sciences. The atmosphere in the Columbia department was charged with excitement, and whole new perspectives for anthropology were opening up.

Rooted in psychology

Mead drew heavily on psychology, especially learning theory and psychoanalysis (type of treatment for emotional disorders in which a patient talks through childhood experiences and looks at the significance of dreams). In return, she contributed significantly to the development of psychoanalytic theory by emphasizing the importance of culture in personality development. She served on many national and international committees for mental health and was instrumental in introducing the study of culture into training programs for physicians and social workers.
