Here are the hints we went over in class.
Food taboos
– Kosher, Hallel,
Latin America and languages -Stimulus Diffusion
8 major languages
(Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, (Hindi, and Chinese)
Why are they a
major language
English,
Portuguese, French, and Spanish – Colonization
Hindi, Mandarin –
Population
Those that spread
through colonization – geographically spread
Hebrew –
revived Basque and Icelandic – isolated
How did English get
there
-America -Nigeria -Germany
-France -Japan
-China -Australia
Latin America name
and language –Romance
Top languages in
Africa / sub-Saharan
-top colonizing
languages
-Arabic is N. Africa
A dialect is
-use textbook and
break answer into parts Rubenstein
-In general, use the
textbook vocab definitions
Dialect and another
language differ by -mutual intelligibility
The spread of Pop
culture threatens the environment in two ways
A
reduced demand for local products and increase in foreign goods*
B increase in
diversity and decreased demand
C
depletion of resources and increase in pollution*
D diversity of
products and slowness to change goods
E use of renewable
plastics and recycled designs
-folk culture is
likely to use materials that are local, and use older techniques that
are not as harmful as newer materials, techniques (plastic)
*2 possible answers
here – will revise the question
Pop culture –
environment (large scale production of unnecessary items, pop
culture changes over time, not local)
Stimulus diffusion –
often occurs for cultural reason India McDonald's
Why does folk
culture use relocation diffusion
Pop culture goes
along with technology for all of the following reasons except
-diffuses easily
-technology items
can be pop culture
-store and preserves
items
-can change over
time
What
is required to have pop culture
//time or LDC - MDC
-Disp. Income
-leisure time
-tech and
infrastructure
-access to mass
production
look at your list
folk v pop wine v coke
Mult-lingual is a
sign of ---
African countries
are going to be more likely multilingual today. Why
-LDC -less
infrastructure and media
-unstable
politically
Pop versus Folk
-Folk is daily life
necessities by hand and judged by standard of authenticity that goes
back to a homeland
-change the product
-sometimes uses
technology to preserve
-would likely be
affected by going to another country
-pop goes along with
disposable income leisure time, and less id as a small group
-folk makes a small
area the same but different from other places in other areas
If that is true for
ethnic than universal is based off of founder
Folk promotes a
uniform area in a small area and gives a sense of id by differing
from large area
-geographically in
one location – tied to the landscape
Universal –
proselytize and global – same
What
do global and uni have in common
