please read instruction thoroughly! I will post the reply as soon as you complete this. Then I will write back to you and show you 2 classmates that will need the response.Thanks.
I hope you enjoyed reading this book!
As I mentioned in the Guideline document there are so many aspects of this book we can discuss. 
Choose one of the questions below and write a knowledgeable response, that demonstrates you read the book and considered the information presented. Your response must be at least 14 sentences and no longer than 20. ( worth up to 14 points for a well-written and informative post)
Respond to at least TWO other peoples posts in a knowledgeable way; each post must be at least 6 sentences long and be more than an agreement statement, meaning you need to include some substance in your response, such as other information you learned from the book that you didn’t already state in your original post (3 points for each response).
Do NOT repeat information in your replies that someone else has already posted (you must make your initial post before you see other people’s posts). Read other posts/replies before responding to others. You will be DOCKED points if you repeat information. 
Use proper grammar and punctuation in your posts. Remember this is an upper division college course and your writing needs to reflect this standing. You will be DOCKED points for grammatical errors/sloppiness. I highly encourage everyone to write their answers in a word doc and use spelling and grammar check and then copy and paste it into the discussion post. Always proofread your work.
Question Choices: ONLY CHOOSE ONE
Consider how different things would have been if a reputable interpreter was involved in all the encounters between the Lee family and medical professionals.
After reading this book explain the importance of hospitals hiring interpreters and/or cultural liaisons/medical anthropologists.
 Discuss one of the most tragic cross-cultural misunderstandings you read in the book.
Where do the Hmong originally come from, how are they socially organized, why did they end up in Northern Southeast Asia?
What are some of the Hmong’s strongest cultural characteristics, what was their traditional form of social control?
What was “The War” and why were the Hmong involved? Who were they fighting with and who were they fighting against?
Why did the Hmong become refugees in America (and elsewhere around the world)?  How did American’s view them? Discuss at least one cultural aspects that changed once they became refugees in America.
Discuss in detail one or two aspects of the refugee process ( it may include: getting to a refugee camp, living in a refugee camp, applying for asylum in another country, or the process of getting approved to migrate to another country). 
What is Secondary Migration? Why did so many Hmong families end up in Merced, California?

Studying Change

by | Sep 24, 2022 | Anthropology

Purpose:
Anthropologists study many different aspects of humanity in order to fully understand the diversity of the human species. Remember, evolution can apply to both physical and societal changes, so things like language and customs can evolve just as much as bodies and brains. In this assignment, you will examine how anthropologists from two different subfields can study evolution (change over time). Be sure you download the attached worksheet, fill it out, and submit it. Other formats (for example, a paper, will not be accepted)
Directions:
In the table that is provided, type your answers to these questions:
Explain what physical anthropology is, and how physical anthropologists study evolution. Find at least one scholarly source that identifies a specific research project in which physical anthropologists study evolution (e.g. the Human Genome Project- conduct your own original research, do not use this example). Describe the research project and its significance in our understanding of evolution.
Choose a second subfield of anthropology (cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, or archaeology). Explain what the second subfield focuses on, and how anthropologists in this subfield study evolution. Find at least one scholarly source that identifies a specific research project in which anthropologist from this subfield study evolution. For example, an archaeologist may look at how tools have changed through time, and what has caused that change (conduct your own original research, do not use this example). Describe the research project and its significance in our understanding of evolution.
Compare and contrast how physical anthropologists and anthropologists in the subfield you chose study evolution.

choose any primate to research and write a short essay (300 words) on your findings. You may choose any primate- which means you can choose a human or non-human primate, and you are not limited to choosing extant primates. This means you can choose to do your write up on any of the fossil hominins or primates, or any of the living primates. However, please do not do a write up on modern humans. As you research your primate, look for information on its habitat, diet, range (where it is found), form of locomotion, social structure, morphology, conservation status, and any fun fact or something new you learned while researching the primate. Additionally, you will need to include the suborder, family, genus, and species names for your primate. You can find the template for the assignment hereActions . Please use reputable sources for you information, and make sure you properly cite information in your text. Check out Purdue Owl for a guide to APA style formatting here (Links to an external site.). Plagiarism will not be tolerated.

Provide a title to your paper; the title must include the name of the cultural group selected. 2. Research the selected cultural group’s language and communication • What language does your selected group speak? What are its origins and how many people speak it? Does it have any dialects within the language? • What are some of the customs related to communication in your group? Is there a particular way they greet each other?

Include citations from the Miller textbook and a minimum of one NEW peer reviewed journal article within the last 10 years (the articles from the previous assignments are not enough).
