ANT 101 Discussion 2

Ashford 4: - Week 3 - Discussion 2

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

 

Language,   Status, and Identity

 Anthropologists believe that language sends messages about who we are, where we come from, and with whom we associate. Based on the readings, can you explain how language can determine status? Provide specific examples that illustrate and support your point of view.
 

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.

The Ashford Writing Center (AWC) has two kinds of tutoring available to you.

• Live      Chat – If you have      writing-related questions about a topic before you draft a discussion post      or submit a written assignment, you will now be able to chat live with a      tutor for a short (up to 20 minute) conversation. Live Chat will be      available Monday through Friday from 10:00-11:00 am and 4:00-5:00 pm      (PST). AWC Live Chat
• Email      Paper Review –      If you have a draft, partial draft, or even if you’re having trouble      getting started, you can complete a submission form and email your paper      to the AWC for review. 
  • Writing Tutors will do their       best to return your paper with their comments within 48 hours, not       including Saturdays and Sundays. Please plan accordingly if you would       like to receive feedback before an assignment due date. AWC Email Paper Review
