Men And Women Cultural Context
1,199 words
Throughout the history of anthropology it has been
a popular view that people are largely products of
their culture, and not the other way around. Yet

it is true that everyone lives within a cultural
context, and that context accounts for varying
degrees of who that person is (indeed, there are
those who say that certain people are wholly
products of their culture), the reverse is also
true. Each person, then, has some degree of impact
on the cul...
