Talk:Cultural Anthropology/Play, Sport and Arts

=Play, Sport and Arts= I added an introduction to the general "play" section because I felt that it needed a broader introduction then starting off with a definition.

1 Play
1.1 Child Play in the United States

I added more to the sentence because I felt that there was more that needed to be said. Dumass (talk) 02:46, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I added a paragraph at the end in order to wrap up the section and conclude with the idea that preschool is a building block to set the children up for the next 13 or more years of school.

2 Sport
o 2.1 Sport in Culture I added few corrections because the person wasnt clear on the different extremes of physical exertion that goes into sports it varies depending on the sport.Johns586 (talk) 20:07, 29 April 2009 (UTC)Johns586

I added a section for Taekwondo from my heritage of South Korea. [User: bertscr]

I edited this section by making it more respectful to Germany. Gorterb (talk) 04:27, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I added a few corrections to the spelling and sentence structure in order to make the statements clear. acdalm

I changed the statements and information regarding football in America and specifically Texas to better show how education is falling behind the fanatics of football. I also eliminated the vague term 'basically' to provide a more clear analysis.Monron (talk) 04:42, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

I changed parts of this section to show why it is so popular in the US.--Olsona30 (talk) 20:39, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I added a few corrections, and I expanded upon one of their passages.Hillm24 (talk)hillm24

I changed replaced the words "girls" and "boys" with "women" and "men" to make the book seem more universal rather than just targeted at certain age groups. Fishers8 (talk) 01:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I emphasized baseball's cultural influence on the Dominican Republic and explained how it connects Dominicans to the rest of the Caribbean, and ultimately the rest of the world to make this passage more universal. Nelso81 (talk) 01:46, 29 April 2009 (UTC) i added a citation of where the information about school and athletes, i couldnet put it in the reference section so i just added it to the paragraph, feel free to fix it if you canGentryy (talk) 00:18, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I added a section on what the positive effects of getting involved in sports are. User:Hamilt20

I edited the section by changing who the athletes/teams represent. User:wisemat

I edited one of the people's refrence section because it was all messed up and kept repeating their name without and reference citation. Skolmee (talk)

I added three extra aspects that enhance human qualities of playing the game of soccer because I played soccer for 12 years and these were a huge reward from playing the game. Brannaj (talk) 03:22, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I added information to the soccer in the Northwest section to clarify.

I added more information to the section about health in America. The reason i felt to add to that section is because it's a major epidemic and something really interesting to learn about.

o 2.2 Positive Effect of Getting Involved in Sports

I added "As this general trend of more females participating in sports continues and grows, the boundries for what sports are 'female' or 'male' dominated become blurred. As a female participant in a male-dominated sport (power lifting), I can say that this only promotes equal treatment in sports, but becomes an unlying step towards overall gender equality." I have been in competition powerlifting for 5 years and set three world records, 3 national records, and 5 state records in benchpress and I am constantly reminded about how gender seperated a lot of sports are still. Moormas2 (talk)

I made this section into a sub section of sports. -Beyerw2

There was a funny sounding sentance that made it sound as if sports themselves were developing discapline. Like they sport was becoming more disaplined not a person. So I took it out and added a statement about sports developing confidence in the area of overcoming hardships. -Mowryc2 (talk) 20:09, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I changed the last part of the sentence that started with "It’s proven that significant health benefits can be obtained by including 30 min of moderate physical activity..." I changed it from "on most if not all days of the week" to "which must be performed at a minimum of three days per week, and can even be split up into three 10 minute chunks, which will reap the same results as one 30 minute session. However more frequent exercise will certainly lead to more rapid improvements." I feel that this is a lot more thorough and something that is really important for people to know (that the 30 minutes can be split up). People that struggle with physical exercise may find that three 10 minute sessions to be more their style, therefore it's important for them to know that they can get the same benefits! Heydril (talk) 23:22, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I made sections to break up the sports categories because it was getting to long and it needed to be broken up into different sections.

o 2.4 Benefits of a Team I added a brief paragraph to the beginning of this sub-section to describe and set up the concepts used in the persoanl testimony. needhaa2

I added to the basketball section because I thought that the WNBA part need some additions including how the Houston Comets were the first WNBA dynasty.

I added a paragraph after Benefits of a Team, labeling it Negative Effects of a Team because I felt that although overall being involved with a team and sport is a great experience that helps people grow and learn in a lot of different ways, there are also some negative aspects that should not be overlooked, and had not yet been discussed.

I added my piece in the American Football section because there wasn't really anything that said anything about the NFL and how players get picked to play onto a pro team. I also wanted to share how the NFL is looking to make it more global to try and make more of the world more interested in the American Football. I am also a huge NFL fan so I wanted to give the NFL some love.

I added major league gaming to the sports tab because it is becoming increasing popular, with players being sponsored and prizes in tournaments are increasing well into the tens of thousands of US dollars.

3 Cultural Arts
I added more to this introductory section that I felt was missing from our textbook for requirement 4. ander408 (talk) 23:24, 30 April 2009 (UTC)ander408

I edited this section for clarityKimiwoodward (talk) 06:41, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

3.1 Music
It seems to me that this section is very Western-centric, as there's really no mention of music originating in the non-Western world, nor is there any mention of music before the 20th century. It seems like it's just a forum for people to talk about the music they like, which isn't the point, nor is it worthy, of an anthropology text.

I edited the introduction paragraph to the music section and added more specific historical details. I chose to edit this because I felt that a more specific history about how music began and started being recorded would be helpful in trying to understand where it came from. Osbornh (talk) 06:57, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I edited the punk section because I felt it was not true about punk rock music. Previously it said that punk songs do not have any meaning in their lyrics, and its all about the show. to correct that I posted a section about what I felt punk music is really about. In that I stated that often punk songs have often political, anti-establishment lyrics.Culverd2 (talk) 01:15, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I edited the section of Folk Music, adding in a quote that had to do with Woody Guthrie, who had been mentioned. I thought it could use a little more information on him. Kurkok (talk) 07:05, 1 May 2009 (UTC) + 3.1.1 Song and Words

I added a bit more definition to the Indie section because I wanted everyone to be clear that Indie musicians were Independent. Mazicks (talk) 20:23, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

I edited the subject matter of the rock music lyrics. Originally, it was described as generally having risque subject matter but I would have to disagree. Rock has roots in many genres of music but the blues are a huge part of them. Songs about being lonely or sad or depressed are not exactly risque. Granted, huge rock bands like Led Zeppelin have risque music content however there are many, many bands that consider themselves rock that range extensively in terms of what they choose to sing about. By saying that most rock bands have risque lyrics, it gives a bad impression that is also false.

Deuelc (talk) 17:31, 30 April 2009 (UTC)Deuelc

I edited a few sentences in the Rock and Roll part to expand on different influential types of music that helped to form what we now know as Rock and Roll. I also changed the part which referred covering a song as stealing which is not true. People cover other artists work all the time and it is very common for musicians to play with other musician's styles. Buncht (talk) 20:49, 30 April 2009

I added an introductory paragraph under the music section because origionally all there was, was a definition of music and then a list of indepth music catagories. I figured that music itself as a whole should be described and introduced. Hoytt (talk) 05:51, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I edited some of the information about Rap music. Originally, it was stated that Rap music was included "Highly illegal and negative" content, but I feel that this is subjective. Almost every type of music has parts of it that can be considered offensive or not enjoyable by somebody else. Because of this, I changed the line so that is reads that rap has some controversial aspects. Rosickj (talk) 00:51, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I added a quote to the opening information on music. The quote is one I have known for awhile and I felt it fit well because it gives a side to music and dancing as something that anyone and everyone can get into no matter what age or who you are. Skolmee (talk) 19:23, 30 April 2009

I also just added some information to the rap section about how it is used a form of protest in areas such as South Africa. Its important that people know this because this is how rap originated and it wasnt meant to degrade women or just talk about money and drugs, but really to try to make a difference and change the way people think. Skolmee (talk) 19:56, 30 April 2009

I edited sections of Hip Pop, specifically the origins of Hip Hop because it had not yet been addressed accurately. I also explained that Hip Hop is the incorporation of four different elements that had not yet been addressed either. jardinj2 (talk) 20:23, 30 April 2009 (UTC)jardinj2

I edited the Japanese Hip-Hop section and explained the concept of "genba". It was such a big conversation in our class and I figured the concept needed to be discussed and explained.Odlel (talk) 04:22, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I added an entire section entitled "A capella" where I explained what a capella style of singing is and why it is distinct from any other style of vocal performanceChambem8 (talk) 04:50, 1 May 2009 (UTC)chambem8

I added info to the Folk music section, adding Bob Dylan and Joan Baez Rennern3 (talk) 06:20, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I made grammatical corrections to the "rap" section. There were some commas missing, mistyped words, and in one case no word at all. IngallG (talk) 06:24, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I edit the section regarding country music. The post previously stated that two of the biggest names in country music were Garth Brooks and Elvis Presley. I think that most people consider Elvis to be more of a pop rock icon than a country idol. And, although Garth Brooks is one of the most successful artists of all time, he is not one of the original country artists who influenced the genre. Instead, I added that Johnny Cash and Hank Williams were the most influential artists in country music because of the way they added passion and real life to their lyrics and performances which influenced the way all music is created and performed. Olsone23 (talk) 06:35, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I shifted the folk music section to make it read and flow easier. McGrawj (talk)

I added to the rap section by specfically adding a new section on west coast rap alone. West Coast rap holds a lot of influence in much of the rap that is around today and the artists that started it all are still recoding and producing music. Murrayn3 (talk)

I changed the American Folk Music section to include a modern artist (The Tallest Man On Earth) who is strongly influenced by Bob Dylan. 67.201.211.5 (talk) 21:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I added a sentence into the punk rock section about how indie music got it start during that time, no one else had mentioned indie music at all yet. I also mentioned Elvis in the rock and roll section as an example of early rock and roll, because the description was right on with the type of music he played. Tokosk (talk)

I added a few sentences about G-funk to the West Coast Rap section elaborating on why Dr. Dre was as influencial as someone else had stated. And I also took Biggie out of "Later West Coast Rappers"Tobyreed (talk) 03:06, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Someone said "Nobody wants to listen to rap that sounds the same as all the other rap" but that person doesn't know that NO ONE would want to. Some people could. So...I changed it to MOST people wouldn't want to listen to rap...

I added one person to the small list of the earliest, most influential blues players because BB King is in many peoples opinion, the most influential blues player to have lived. It would do the rock and roll section injustice to not include his name as an influential musician. 00891778cameron (talk) 06:14, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I added an "indie" section to the music section, because indie is seen as a genre of music and it is an ever growing genre. I believe it is important to the music scene, because these bands show more passion for their music because they don't focus on trying to make as much money as possible. (talk)

I edited the Reggae section because there wasn't a lot of information about what it stood for and also specific instruments used by Reggae artists.

3.2 Asia Pop Culture
+ 3.2.1 Japan Idol + 3.2.2 Music in the Philippines + 3.2.3 Hip Hop + 3.2.4 Jamica: The Mento I edited the last paragraph of the Japan Idol section. Delete some un-need words and instead of just giving a broad view of Japan Idol I was using a specific group as an example to display.liaoi (talk) 09:37, 30 April 2009 (UTC) liaoi

I edited the section about japan and hip hop because i thought it was important, especially since we just went over it in class last week and we had to read about it in our weekly readings. Hunters4 (talk) 20:57, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I edited the the first paragraph of the Music in the Philippines section. I fixed a few spelling errors and changed the sentense structure to make it sound a little bit clearer. Hamilt20 (talk) 04:11, 29 April 2009 (UTC) hamilt20

I edited the third section of Music, Hip Hop. I wanted to explain the elements of Hip Hop respectively and specifically mention where and why Hip Hop was formed. (talk) 12:35, 29 April 2009 (UTC) [(jardinj2]]

I added the Jamica:The mento section.Dragsea (talk) 03:16, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I edited a sentence in the Hip Hop paragraph and just reword it to sound better.Raddenk (talk) 03:07, 30 April 2009 (UTC) raddenk

I made the revision in the section Hip Hop in Japan because this section was missing critical information. I added to the end of this section information about Ian Condry and the differences between Japanese hip hop and US hip hop and culture. Ian Condry is a very important anthropologist on this subject and he is not mentioned in this section. By adding that he was the reason we have all of this information on Japanese hip hop and how it differs from hip hop in the United States, this section became more thorough and accurate.Hunts2 (talk)

3.2 Literature
I tried to create some reasoning for why American culture holds some books to a higher significance than others. Meachaj (talk) 17:51, 27 April 2009 (UTC) I just tried to elaborate on how J.R.R. Tolken had influenced others using examples. Palomia1 (Palomia|talk) 28 April 2009 (UTC) The phrase "many authors of fiction are overlooked but a much of our modern culture can be attributed to these authors" was not very clear, so I reworded it to make sense, while staying true to what I think the original author meant.Moorez (talk) 02:47, 30 April 2009 (UTC) I added the section that lists all the Narnia books in order to add thoroughness to the information on the Chronicles of Narnia. And, I added commentary on the religious aspect of the books because I feel it's necessary to acknowledge the significance of this series that can be enjoyed by such a wide range of readers without raising too much controversy despite the strong Christian themes within the context of the story.Gordonlesley (talk) 08:42, 30 April 2009 (UTC) I added a section explaining how some of Tolkien's books are used as coming of age stories, and how the high fantasy genre seems to follow the Hero's Journey plot line.Malonep (talk) 06:21, 1 May 2009 (UTC) + 3.2.1 J.R.R. Tolkien + 3.2.2 C.S. Lewis + 3.2 Literature

I added more about C.S. Lewis because the current entry only covered one part of his works and I revised the entry to include more about his other works of both fiction and non-fiction to make it more complete.

It was definitely a good idea for the last person to include further books by C.S.Lewis since he wrote many books outside of what is popularly known to people and it should be noted that full comprehension of C.S. Lewis cannot be realized without looking at his other lesser known works. Mentioning The Screwtape Letters was a good addition since the book is classic literature and shows Christian belief in a humorous way.Gordonlesley (talk) 08:11, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

3.3 Dance
+ 3.3.1 Dance in Argentina I rewrote the second and third sentences to show that the origins of the Tengo were more exotic than one would expect. The original way made it seem as though the dance was only found in the middle class. Heinenj (talk) 06:59, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I edited the third sentence to show the readers that the time period which this form of dance originated had a lot to do with why the dance seemed raunchy. Skaugrk (talk) 19:38, 1 May 2009 (UTC) + 3.3.2 Dance in the Philippines + 3.3.3 Dance in Zulu and Masai Culture

I added more dances that help athletes skills because these certain types of dances make athletes quickier on their feet. Wetlej (talk) 02:24, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

+ 3.3 Dance, Art or a Sport?

I added a few revisions to different sentences in this section to make the explanations more clear. I also had four different kinds of dance to the dance listing sentence, where I cited "kick" because I was on a Varsity Kick Dance Team in high school and I feel that it is one of the forms of dance that requires the most stamina, strength, and coordination, important as an athlete.

Pacheac (talk) 03:48, 1 May 2009 (UTC) Pacheac (talk) 03:42, 1 May 2009 (UTC) I added that not all dances were completely European influenced and that many dances were significant in other ways. Paguior (talk) 05:36, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

The Native American and dance as art or sport sections were set as sub headings under Zulu and Masai dance so I made them their own categories.I also added the Zulu and Masai section from a paper that I wrote in my African History class.

I added some more information in the section that talked about Capoeira in Brazil. I talked about the African influence and its significance for the slaves during that time. Ketchoa (talk) 04:03, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

I added the Ethiopian Dance section, because I felt like Ethiopia had a lot of unique and powerful dances. I'm hoping that people would look at my post and learn more about the dances. Youtube is a great place to look up some of these dances.

3.4 Media
+ 3.4.1 Sculpture + 3.4.2 Painting # 3.4.2.1 Cave Paintings + 3.4.3 Television and Film # 3.4.3.1 The Role of Television in Everyday Life of the Family in Serbia # 3.4.3.2 Video and attendance of transnational fiestas

I edited a few sentences and corrected spelling errors, i also added a couple helpful words to clarify what some of the spanish words that were used; just in case people have not taken spanish. acdalm

I edited a few sentences that had spelling errors and grammatical errors, for Video and attendance of transnational fiestas. Dragsea (talk) 03:15, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I added and corrected a few statistics about television in America. hertlee

I edited the last paragraph for television in Serbia for grammer and better flow.Myersh2 (talk) 03:49, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I added a few sentences regarding the meaning of photography. I also expanded on who Matthew B. Brady was because it was not mentioned before. Spangler5039 (talk) 04:12, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I added a few famous sculptors and referenced where you could get more information about them --Clevenz (talk) 05:08, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I changed the painting section because the sentenced used before mine sounded like a generalization. The person that wrote it used the word we which i felt was a generalization saying that the only people who were reading this section were westerners. I also added that paintings more commonly known from ancient Greek and Rome period as well as Renaissance.

Buchmak (talk) 06:27, 1 May 2009 (UTC)Buchmak

I added a section talking about how media influences televison. It is important to know that biases exsit and how they influence as common place as televison. Murrayn3 (talk)

I added information on the Mexican mural movement because it was mentioned but not given any detail. Piersoe3

serbian media deletion
probably fine but if someone wanted to consolidate this maybe there is salvageable elements .... The Role of Television in Everyday Life of the Family in Serbia The first channel of National television (RTS) is the only one possible to watch everywhere in Serbia. It is estimated that approximately one third of population in Serbia can watch only this channel. Other relevant channels, apart from strictly local ones, are Studio B that covers Belgrade and an area of 100 square kilometers around Belgrade, this includes Kragujevac, which makes up 3.5 million of the total viewers; BK television station is watched by 25% of the population, which means Belgrade and surrounding area. Until NATO's aggression it was possible to see it in Leskovac as well. The television station "Pink" covers Belgrade and surrounding area, but they use cable links for National television that provides them a larger territory. These are the "biggest" TV stations in Serbia based upon the number of viewers and area in which they cover. TV "Pink" is the only commercial station in stricto senso: they play movies, soap operas, music and sport shows. The variety of shows on both TV and radio create varying preferences. One of the most common indicators of show popularity are charts published in specialized TV and radio magazines. According to the research performed in 1986/87 by Milena Dragievi - Šeši and group of students of Belgrade's Faculty for Drama Arts, at the time favorite shows in Serbia were sports-related, local Belgrade programs, movies and soaps, folk music and other entertainment shows, whereas favorite radio stations were Studio B and Belgrade 202. On the chart published in a specialized TV magazine "TV Novosti" on the April 3rd 1996, the first place was held by the domestic soap opera "Sreni ljudi" ("Happy people"), followed by sports (football, volleyball, handball) and movies. In January 200 the most popular show in Belgrade was the "7 o' clock news" on Studio B television whereas in Serbia on the first place was hispanoamerican soap "Pravo na ljubav" ("The right to love") played on TV Pink. Preferences follow the line: movies, soaps, sports, news, and educational shows. This line is a consequence of essential functions of television: to inform, to educate, and to entertain. The majority of my informants named entertainment as a main reason why they watch television. When you don't have anything better to do, you just turn on your TV set and sail away where everything is different. You can rest from everything and everyone. The best sail away possibilities are offered in the soaps and movies. Switching to another reality provides rest from everyday life problems. These shows often appeal to women, while men find their escape in sports, especially football. --Paul James (discuss • contribs) 21:51, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Improvisational Theater
I added the section called Improvisational Theater because I feel that improv exercises encompass play, sport and arts. I then edited my own paragraph a day later because I felt it was too lengthy. It still gets the point across, though. User:wildfim
