Film Analysis #2 prompts students to further engage with their anthropological toolkits to consider the question of globalization and what means for citizens of the global North and South. Using anthropological concepts and theories discussed in the course, students will be asked to respond to a question about the nature of global dis/connections and their far-reaching implications. Details will be posted under Assignments Tab on Canvas.
In her chapter, “Resisting Paradise,” Angelique Nixon reflects on how the Caribbean region has been and continues to be profoundly affected by colonial exploitation. This exploitation has been expressed in multiple ways: as neocolonialism, as globalization, but also signals the deep interdependency between countries in the Global North and South in complex ways.
In three pages (or 750 words, double-spaced) please answer the following prompt:
With reference to Nixon’s chapter, briefly summarize and explain how one event from the film, “Life and Debt,” addresses the interdependency between markets in the Global North and South. How has our current global economy intensified historically uneven divisions of labour between higher-income and lower-income countries?
Your response should include at least two course concepts relating to global transformations (e.g., globalization, neoliberalism, neocolonialism, underdevelopment, “tourist/local,” faraway markets, market externalities, and/or “glocal”). Not explicitly engaging with both Nixon’s chapter and the film will result in a lower grade.
Instructions
Please answer the following questions:
In Chapter 4, Joralemon discusses the interpretive perspective of illness. This involves the ways in which disease is perceived by the people who are affected by it. Do you think this perspective is important for health practitioners to pursue, or is it not really relevant in terms of diagnosing and healing diseases? Please give examples to support your opinion.
While it is important for medical students in our society to learn the science of medicine, how important do you think it is for them to learn about culture, in terms of cross-cultural healing traditions, etc.? In other words, in what ways would medical students benefit from being required to learn about cultural issues, such as what we are learning in medical anthropology? Should this type of training be required?
