Australian Kinship Tina Manley Anthropology Mitra Rokni October 17, 2011 Anthropology was started as the study of human kinship systems. What exactly is a kinship system? A kinship system was one of the most important domains of research for about 90 years. It has been the domain through which both, the universality of humanity was underlined, and cultural specificities were demonstrated. It allowed showing that all human societies or cultures have universally recognized characteristics, but it also allowed to demonstrate that each culture has its own specificity.
To what extent have the literacy practices of English speakers been shaped by communications technology? In this assignment I will be looking at the ways in which literacy practices have changed with the advent of technology. I will be focusing on how children use technology and how that differs from the way adults do. From the invention of writing to the printing press to the typewriter and the computer, the entire history of literacy has been dependent on the technical advances that it has used. According to Eisenstein ‘as printing came to supersede hand copying by scribes texts came to be more widely disseminated’ (p.282).

Different ways include change in self, change on our perspectives of life change on the way we see the world.

Cultural policy in general refers to government measures taken to encourage or to protect activities in areas defined as cultural (Marsh & James, 2012). Through the decades, the cultural sector has played a most important role in national cohesion. Government intervention has also boosted the cultural industry and so have technological advances, which have helped in the dissemination of mass culture among the citizens. The modern- state is a sophisticated information apparatus with the government and traditional mass media acting as the two major information arms (Gasher, 2012, p. 9). However, there have been several stumbling blocks.

Other notable federal events from the 1960s to the present include the following. Commensurate with the launching of Sputnik, the National Defense Education Act of 1958 authorized funds to thousands of students for foreign language training (U. S. Department of Education, 1991; Simon, 1980). Some authors have pointed to an apparent “schizophrenic” U.S. attitude, whereby foreign-language learning for native-born, predominately Englishspeaking individuals, over this century, has sometimes been supported, while bilingual education programs for languageminorities have simultaneously been disfavored (Crawford, 1989). In 1974 the Equal Education Opportunities Act (EEOA) was enacted (Crawford, 1989). A section of the Act required schools to work to overcome language barriers that interfered with language-minority students’ learning (Crawford, 1989).
