essay assignment 106
Assignment: Your overall task (big picture): Find some area of interest to you with respect to technology and environment (or both) and consider that as it relates to one of more cultures.
Part of this is descriptive (the technology and/or environmental topic you are examining) but part of it is also analytical, meaning that you will look at other institutions of the culture you are examining—how they are affected by or shaped by the technology/environmental issues you are examining. Are they affected? Changed? If so, how? Why? Think of these things as interrelated, because they always are. This is adaptation in a cultural sense.
