Harris has decided to live among the Bunlap people of Pentecost Island. He studies and lives among them for 2 years. He writes a book explaining the ways and lives of the Bunlap. He does this without interfering with their lifestyles and describes their culture as though he was a member of it. In doing this he has practiced:

Question Options:

a. ethnocentrism

b. ethnomethodology

c. spiritual ethnography

d. cultural relativism

e. cultural specificity

Cultural relativism.

Explanation: Cultural Relativism can be defined as the idea that an individual art, customs, lifestyles, background and habits should be understood or studied based on the individual's own culture rather than judged against the standard of another individual. This is an example of what Harris did. Studied the people of Bunlap by living among them without interfering with their lifestyles.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
