The greenhouse effect could be harmful if it becomes too strong. is a normal phenomenon that keeps the planet's surface warm. is necessary for life to exist on Earth. Scientists theorize that if global temperatures do rise, the greatest warming is likely to occur in high-latitude and high-altitude areas. What is the term for something that is caused by humans and their activities? anthropogenic True or false: The areas predicted to be most affected by climate change are coasts, island nations, the far north, and very mountainous areas. True The field of study that focuses on how culture helps humans adapt to their environments and maintain their ecosystems is called ecological anthropology. A society's cultural model of the environment and its relation to people and society is called an ethnoecology. Instead of "global warming," some scientists prefer the term "climate change" because this has a broad meaning that includes changes in ecosystems. sea levels. rainfall patterns. Some scientists predict that climate change might cause more severe storms and surges. flooding of coastal communities. displacement of people as low-lying areas become submerged. In many agricultural projects around the world, the developers make the mistake of trying to model the project after a midwestern American farm instead of adapting more to the local customs. Which of the following is an example of outsiders making regulations based on planners' goals instead of what is best for that locality? Farmers who have been irrigating with river water are forced to stop because it might disturb a snail that a government agency plans to introduce. The field of ecological anthropology emerged in the 1950s—1970s. Some ethnoecological systems are not protecting local and regional environments as much as they did previously, because local people are having to deal with outside influences more than in the past. Development projects often fail because they try to replace the local system, which was working adequately, with a system designed for a different culture. People in Brazil complain that it is hypocritical for environmentally active outsiders to clamor about "saving the Amazon" when their own countries have already made a fortune by logging their own forests. One common complaint against environmentalists is that they seem to value plants and animals more than human beings. Several generations of one family have lived in their home in the mountains since the 1800s. The government designates a new wilderness area, putting the house within the wilderness boundaries. The family is now forbidden to use motorized vehicles to reach their home, they cannot operate a chainsaw to cut firewood, and they cannot string lines for telephones and electricity. This would be an example of conservation with no sensitivity to local and individual circumstances. Which of the following cause deforestation? road building population growth commercial logging One serious problem for ecological anthropologists is that, in a world where population is increasing, local people hesitate to support conservation efforts because it will decrease their access to resources and therefore their livelihood. The increasing human population of Madagascar has caused more rapid water runoff, which erodes rice fields and deposits silt in irrigation canals. deforestation, because people cut trees for firewood. substantial erosion, because trees are no longer holding the soil in place. Which of the following is the most effective argument to convince the people of Madagascar to stop deforestation? The forest benefits agriculture by slowing erosion and conserving water for irrigation. When developing plans to conserve the environment, outsiders should involve local people in planning and carrying out the new policies. realize that global and national conservation efforts can cost local people their livelihoods. be sensitive to local circumstances. Deforestation is a global concern because it removes trees that absorb CO2, thus contributing to global warming. it decreases biodiversity, since many species live in forests. Which of the following are reasons for the emergence of particular infectious diseases in the last few decades? human encroachment on wild lands deforestation changes in demography Changes in the cultural patterns that result when groups come into continuous firsthand contact are called acculturation. Anthropologists believe that much of the deforestation in the ancient Middle East and Central America was caused by increasing human population that led to expanded farming. To curb global deforestation, anthropologists should try to convince people that what is good for the Earth is also beneficial to them. Which of the following actions by a Polynesian native would be indications of acculturation? wearing store-bought clothing eating pizza once a week speaking French The emergence of infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, Ebola, West Nile, SARS, and Zika are primarily the result of which of the following? They result from what people have done to their environments. The main difference between acculturation and diffusion is diffusion can happen without firsthand contact. If Jewish people conquered Mexico and forced all the Mexicans to speak Yiddish or Hebrew, eat only kosher food, and live by the Law of Moses, this would be an example of cultural imperialism. The form of acculturation that involves the influence of Western expansion on indigenous peoples and their cultures is known as which of the following? Westernization.

When the community of Arembepe in Brazil felt that outsiders had appropriated the Saint Francis festival, local people began to participate more in festivals for other saints instead. This demonstrates that an outside culture cannot overshadow local traditions if local people refuse to embrace the new ways. When ideas and innovations from other countries are introduced into a new community and modified to fit the local culture, they are said to have been indigenized. Mass media have helped enhance each nation's cultural identity in what ways? Mass media keep people informed about events that are happening within that nation.

When one author describes the modern world as a translocal interactive system, he is referring to the fact that globalization has transformed old boundaries and distinctions. Why have anthropologists expanded their study beyond local communities more than in the past? People are moving more often and traveling farther away than in previous times. The world today is sometimes called postmodern because established boundaries, distinctions, categories, and canons are blurring and breaking down. With so many people moving from rural to urban areas and across national boundaries, the unit of anthropological study expands from the local community to the diaspora. The architectural style called postmodernism was intended to convey a playful impression. drew on various styles from different times and places. came after the style called modernism. The closest thing Earth has to a planetary council is the United Nations. The term and concept of "indigenous people" was legitimized within international law in 1982 by the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations. Until the 1980s, Latin American public discourse and state policies toward indigenous people discouraged indigenous identification and mobilization. encouraged assimilation into the general population. During the 1990s in many parts of Africa, indigenous people used violence to try to expel people of European and Asian descent. This was an example of autochthony.

In 1982, a United Nations working group described original inhabitants of territories as___people. indigenous Within the past 30 years in Latin America, policies toward indigenous peoples have shifted from encouraging assimilation to valuing ethnic differences. During the 1990s, when indigenous people were trying to expel Europeans and Asians from Africa, a similar situation emerged in Europe as Europeans tried to curb immigration and multiculturalism, saying it was diluting the traditional cultures of Europe.
