I am writing an article for a magazine with the theme being "happiness and other affections in literature". My article is about how music lyrics that highlights emotions such as sadness and resentment have the opposite effect in some individuals, offering them ways to cope with emotions considered negative and making them happier people in a way, through a non standard affection.
I am an undergraduate anthropology student and any help, be it with the references for the article or suggestions about which way to go, will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Compared to other ethnicities, why specifically do Northwestern Europeans seldom object to breeding with other groups?
Mainly due to systemic racism, Northwestern Europeans are highly desired as partners. Therefore, breeding with outcomes almost always brings Northwestern Europeans net economic positive benefits compensating for their diminished population.
Relevant answer
Are there any statistics about this phenomenon? One element can be mobility, or Europeans out of Europe, as since the XVITH century europeans migrated massivelly to all corners of the world, where they bred with other people. I also think that Europeans have a great mobility that allows them compare different parts of the world, Europeans soldiers had intercourse with women from all over the world. And thirdly within Europe there must be statistics comparing them, for instance with América, where natives didnt have problems mixing with europeans, the same in the Middlle East and parts of Asia. With which other continents have you made a comparison?

I don't think it's advisable to pay for your research or review it. There are free scientific journals that can review your article and publish it without you having to pay any money. These journals work on a peer review system and, from my perspective, are more serious.

Humor in Anthropology and Ethnic Studies
In his Ethnic Humor around the World, Christie Davies charts the joking targets in 28 different countries. The ones given below are the most recognizable: Americans consider Poles, Italians, and Portuguese as stupid while Jews, Scots, and New Englanders to be tricky. Canadians consider Newfies as stupid and Jews, Scots, and Nova Scotians as tricky. Mexicans consider+ people from Yucatan as stupid and people from Monterey as tricky. Nigerians consider Hausas as stupid and Ibos as tricky. The English, Welsh and French consider the Irish, Belgians, and Swiss as stupid, and the Scots and Jews as tricky.
Davies also said that the most common targets of ethnic humor, live on the geographical, economic, or linguistic edges of the society or culture where the jokes are told. They live in small communities, or rural areas on the periphery of a nation, and are immigrants concentrated in blue-collar occupations. “There is no evidence that the targets are stupid, but they occupy stupid locations.” Also, the marginalized groups learn about the mainstream groups, but the mainstream groups remain ignorant of the marginalized groups.
The joke tellers identify with the target groups by seeing them as comically stupid versions of themselves. The best joking relationship between two groups is when the groups exhibit both “attachment and separation,” along with “social conjunction and social disjunction.”

We understand that anthropology is a discipline that focuses on evolutionary themes, the only way to understand the evolution of the human mind is through rhetorical forms within literature, the use, disuse, abandonment and abuse of certain literary forms through its human evolution are without a doubt the predominant feature to understand higher cognitive processes in the development of man as such. We can find this in rock art, pottery designs, textile designs and even in oral mythology which was passed on to us by generations.

I expect 'opposites' will dominate this discussion. It is axiomatic in the West and common in the East to deal with dichotomies rather than incremental differences.

Opposites are also the first reliable intellectual distinction mastered by young children.

Reflections on Liberal Education
Anthropology precedes Pedagogy, but as to whether this procession is dutifully attained, Philosophy must tell us, for it is in the interest of Philosophy to 'see' what cannot be 'seen' especially if the unseen entails processes. Fundamentals of of Philosophy of Education hold that Pedagogy is a function of the human species, therefore if it is NOT a predicate of humanness then it is a wasteful engagement. Teaching and learning therefore can only take place when the anthropological question "What is man?" is meaningfully answered. The anthropological quest is however ordered by the lens of metaphysics employed to investigate the quiddity of man. The lens can be static, in which man is perceived as a settled phenomenon, or, it ca be liberal in which man is conceived as an existentially unsettled entity. The great Philosophers: Socrates of Athens , Jesus of Nazareth, Paulo Freire of Recife and a dozen others have taught us that man thrives in freedom, because he is intrinsically free to manifest himself through thought. Therefore a pedagogy that does not inculcate free thinking is alien to man , and if it is alien to man, it is not a pedagogy. Rather it is a programming process.

Both Europeans and Yacuruna arrived in Peru via water, are comparatively hairier than indigenous Peruvians. Both Europeans and Yacuruna also have harmed the Incans.
Relevant answer
Answer
0) How likely do the Yacuruna in Amazonian Myths Represent Europeans?
1)Europeans generally are more hairy then Native Americans. In myths, the Yacuruna sometimes disguise themselves as hairy people.
2)The Yacuruna come from the sea like European sailors did.
3) Similar to the Yacuruna, MAYBE Europeans have been worshipped as gods by the Amazonian people.
4)When a Yacuruna and an indigenous Amazonian reproduce the child would sometimes become more Yacuruna. Similarly, Castizos(75% European and 25% Native American) are sometimes as privileged as just pure Europeans.
2)One of the main points of religion is survival heuristics thus supporting this theory.

My research aims to answer the question, "How did the vocal mechanisms adapt in humans to allow the emergence of oral communication and vocal arts?" In order to do so, my research encompasses a broad anthropological investigation into oral communication and distinct vocal arts, considering both physiological and physiopathological features of vocal production. Additionally, by applying a philosophical approach to the history of voice in these diverse fields, my findings have demonstrated that both oral communication and vocal arts, in their normal and pathological contexts, might be understood as anthropological unfoldings of the human voice, providing me significant insights into vocal pedagogy and therapy. I aim to conduct further investigation on this question in a PhD program in Anthropology from 2025 on. However, I have already uploaded a few research papers and posters in my researchgate profile explaining how I got to several findings that led me to such research interest.
Relevant answer
Answer
I completely agree with you, Dr. Raybeck. This is precisely why I carefully chose the term "oral communication" rather than "oral language" or "spoken language". My intention was, in fact, to encompass all these possibilities found in anthropology and move away from the egocentrism of our species, as you mentioned. Therefore, I am also interested in exploring the forms of communication that we have "before words". I mean, what came before any (proto)language?
Of course, my main focus is still on understanding the adaptations of vocal mechanisms in humans, and not on the forms of communication themselves. Consequently, in one way or another, I look for the (neuro)anatomical and (neuro)physiological adaptations of the human voice. This is why vocal arts became a fundamental part of my research. Vocal arts, such as beatboxing and scat singing, have shown me that so-called "speech sounds" and even syllables themselves can be used for aesthetic purposes outside of the context of language/linguistic communication itself. For example, a sung phrase such as "ba ba dum ba dum ba dum ba da" has speech sounds and syllables, however, it carries no linguistic meaning in English or Brazilian Portuguese.
Therefore, I must keep in mind the perspective you presented throughout the investigations.

When I point unpleasant things out, people often respond by insulting me. So, under complete eugenics I would either have been killed and or castrated at this point.
If Nazis do gain control over the USA, I may be killed first because they really hate white looking people with disabilities and or subtle non white ancestry.
The more North Western European liberal nations become multiracial democracies, the more a select few elite North Western Europeans turn into the leadership base. Hence why so many politicians and other elites are North Western Europeans. Thus, the "Great Replacement" should really be named the "Great Filter" because it consolidates whiteness(state of being North Western European). North Western European liberals did not just coincidentally invent transhumanism and eugenics.

The Anthropic Notion of Existence and Being-Becoming in Heidegger: Heidegger’s continuous engagement with ‘nothingness’ in his works has not been about the non-existence of anything specific or the whole of what we call Reality or of its To Be. [-----] Heraclitus never had a notion of becoming that makes everything to escape into absolute nothingness; Parmenides never dissociated from human beings’ notion of being the apparent becoming. Apparent becoming, he thought, is a contradiction to his concept of being. Heidegger depended much on his re-interpretations of Heraclitus and Parmenides. None of them shewed away from Heidegger’s thought whatever is existent or seemingly existent into any absolute becoming or absolute seeming of becoming or absolute nothingness that would reduce the stuff of everything into a nothing in existence.
What Went Wrong in Heidegger's Thought: For the above reasons, within the ‘becoming’ that meant continuous activity, and beyond the ‘being’ that often presented the sense of permanence, Heidegger (1) did not think of the metaphysical approval of ontological commitments behind notions, thoughts, feelings, etc., sought a non-traditional notion of existence that he thought is discourse-bound and language-bound which thus became an anthropic notion of Being without commonalities with other existents, and (2), did not possess methods of dissociating (a) mere subjective and intersubjective objectivity from (b) subjectively and intersubjectively obtained objectivity via objectuality in discourse. Thus, he ended up holding only the (a) above and laughably anthropologized philosophy, science, and human institutions through a sense of superiority of the merely anthropically Being-thinking humans over all others. His politically overshadowing such a notion of Being-thinking humans by a vague identification of it with the Hitler race was naturally a gimmick to use the opportunity to save and elevate himself and his thought and additionally obtain a long opportunity to laugh privately of his own professor.

Sure: QUOTE Kasmier writes that, "For Husserl, the real unity of things is unaffected by the forming and manipulating of them in thought. For example. I can count things but their internal and external relations do not alter. I can judge about you, but you are not thereby affected. At best, all we might say is that you are being related by me to other things, but this is no feature to be found in you or between you and myself. Categorial formations do not remove or glue unites and parts in any real sense. The same is meant to apply to comparison and categorial identification. The objects compared are not affected in any real way by the acts of mind that compare, and subsume them." ENDQUOTE
The Cartesianism is contained in the "the real unity of things is unaffected by the forming and manipulating of them in thought." And it is exactly *this* that Husserl 'casts into doubt' (this new 'bracketing' method), in his Cartesian Meditations, returning to what since Kant had been called 'Transzendentalphilosophie'. Wittgenstein does something similar in the 'linguistic turn', which is to reject that 'the real unity of things ...' bit, regarding this as a bit of scholastic metaphysics that needs to be overcome ...
The term in Habermas (in Knowledge and Human Interests), for the same, is the 'objectifying stance'. (Grundeinstellung zur Welt.) The point about this is, historically, psychologically, anthropologically, there are others. (The practical stance, the intersubjective stance.) (The ones we're in when we're reflecting about these things.)

Ashkenazi Jews co-exist and cooperate with the North Western European self-filter because the former are at least partially diaspora of the Levantine, mixed with whoever is recessive enough to continue their phenotype,(Levantine were some of the few Mediterraneans who were not subject to the dysgenic forces of petty nationalism, which is clinging to a homeland thus being subject to dysgenic forces). “Conservatives may have more kids but, liberals are more likely to use life extension and to have increased socioeconomic status. Removing almost all doubt, the self-imposed demographic decline of the North Western Europeans is an attempt to filter SO, only their GENERALLY smartest remain. Progressivism rightfully did NOT emerge from the Jews but, from North Western Europeans recognizing that under their continued empire, proving constructivism more so than hereditarianism, they would be subject to dysgenic forces and then become petty nationalists, and they have mysterious impulses to check their own unchecked power, as the most powerful group. As that was the case with the Mediterraneans. Plus, GENERALLY the highest IQ North Western Europeans are liberals and they GENERALLY get more progressive on race relations the more intelligent they become. ALL DISPARITIES are the fault of the North Western Europeans, thus the MOST ENLIGHTENED North Western European people should be cloned so they and their descendants can pay reparations. And the recessive privileges of being an Enlightened North Western European should MAYBE be distributed through genetically engineered somatic mutations”(Ohnemus 2024)

Se trata de analizar el concepto de patrimonio cultural desde la perspectiva antropològica, en el siglo XXI
Relevant answer
Answer
En cuanto a las teorías en Antropología que se discuten en el siglo XXI sobre el patrimonio cultural intangible, es crucial destacar que disciplinas como la bioantropología y la paleopatología, en las que me especializo, se centran principalmente en la biología y la salud de poblaciones pasadas. A pesar de esta conexión indirecta, existe una intersección relevante, especialmente en la arqueología/bioarqueología, donde la información biológica puede proporcionar una comprensión más profunda de las prácticas culturales antiguas.
En la actualidad, las discusión en Antropología sobre el patrimonio cultural intangible se centran en preservar y entender tradiciones no físicas, como conocimientos y prácticas culturales. Esta perspectiva también aborda cuestiones éticas en la investigación, la representación de comunidades indígenas (según el contexto regional) y destaca la importancia de la colaboración intercultural en la preservación de este patrimonio. La participación de especialistas, como conservadores y restauradores, añade una dimensión adicional a estas discusiones, haciendo hincapié en la controvertida naturaleza del tema.

How does one gauge sincerity to a cause against mere self-righteousness? Why? My answer: One gauges sincerity to a cause against mere self-righteousness by discerning the observed‘s adherence to reciprocity, harm avoidance, the golden rule(treating others as the treater wants to be treated), the silver rule(NOT treating others as the treater does NOT want to be treated), tradition(what led previous generations to survive and to be anti-fragile), risk analysis(everyone analyzes risks because NO human has complete information to act on), symmetry, empathy, common sense(evolutionary set instincts), human dignity and skin in the game(those paying a more immediate price for the consequence have the greater right to opine as goes with reciprocity and harm avoidance). Plus admitting all humans have the impulses to commit unethical acts and anyone claiming otherwise is disingenuous because no act is completely selfless nor completely selfish. Which consistently leads to an open society with negative utilitarianism(reduce suffering as much as possible without violating before mentioned risk analysis, reciprocity and skin in the game due to desired societal anti fragility).

Your question is difficult to understand. Let me contextualize it with a historical example, that of indoctrinated and brainwashed German boys who were initiated into Jungvolk, were promoted to Hitler Youth, attended the special schools run by the SS, and were subsequently selected to be SS officers.
Those men presumably regarded themselves as indubitably correct in their ideological convictions and morally superior to their subordinates, as well as all of those outside the Nazi fold, Germans as well as non-Germans. I take it that that would epitomize both self-righteousness and sincerity in adherence to the Nazi cause and its Führerprinzip.
You seem to be suggesting that mere self-righteousness is differentiated from sincere adherence to a cause, in that sincerity requires adherence to a host of moral principles. However, it seems to me that for such indoctrinated men such principles were adhered to mostly in regard to their Nazi superiors and equals, less so to their Nazi subsordinates, even less to (non-Jewish) Germans, and entirely optional as regards Jews and non-Germans.

I'm looking for works in anthropology and/or sociology that examine these concepts, where they're distinct, and where they overlap. Quite a bit has obviously been published on both race and ethnicity, so I'm having a little trouble finding particular important works on this subject.
Relevant answer
Answer
Race: The Power of an Illusion" (Documentary Series) This documentary series challenges the concept of race as a biological reality and explores its social construction. It's a valuable resource for understanding the historical development of racial categories. "Ethnicity without Groups" by Rogers Brubaker Brubaker's work examines the fluid and situational nature of ethnicity, arguing that it is not always tied to fixed, bounded groups. This challenges traditional notions of ethnicity and contributes to the understanding of its relationship with race. "Race and Ethnicity: The Key Concepts" by Amy Ansell This book provides an overview of the key concepts in race and ethnicity studies, exploring their historical development and contemporary significance. It's a good starting point for those looking to understand the nuances and overlaps. "Racial and Ethnic Relations" by Joe R. Feagin and Clairece Booher Feagin This comprehensive textbook covers a wide range of topics related to race and ethnicity. It explores their social construction, historical development, and the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, class, and gender. "The Ethnic Phenomenon" by Pierre L. Van den Berghe Van den Berghe's work provides a sociobiological perspective on ethnicity, examining how it relates to competition for resources and group survival. While controversial, it offers a different angle on the understanding of ethnicity. "Race, Ethnicity, and Sexuality: Intimate Intersections, Forbidden Frontiers" edited by Joane Nagel This edited volume explores the intersections of race, ethnicity, and sexuality. It addresses how these categories intersect and shape individuals' experiences and identities. "Racial Formation in the United States" by Michael Omi and Howard Winant This classic work explores the concept of racial formation, arguing that race is a dynamic and socially constructed process. It's influential in understanding the intersectionality of race with other social categories. "Ethnicity: Theory and Experience" by Nathan Glazer and Daniel P. Moynihan Glazer and Moynihan examine the concept of ethnicity, discussing its theoretical foundations and practical manifestations. The book is a thoughtful exploration of how ethnicity operates in diverse societies. These works should provide a solid foundation for understanding the distinctions and overlaps between race and ethnicity, offering various perspectives from both anthropological and sociological standpoints.

Answer
Dear Bridget,
It isn't clear whether you have written or are commenting on a 2,000-2,500 word essay already (if so, please post the link) or whether you are just seeking commentary for a school assignment (so please be clear).
If you are honestly looking at this issue, you are touching on an important question in disciplinary boundaries and questions and how disciplines are supposed to work to protect human survival, health and well-being but currently fail to do, and I'm happy to kick this off with a pithy comment, as an applied anthropologist and scholar who has worked globally for 30+ years and who has also published works on how to evaluate and improve and protect disciplines and sub-disciplines (you can find some of my recent indicators for distinguishing academic fads and for structuring disciplines -- look at my piece on "Law and Development" with my indicator, and "Returning Discipline to the Discipline" in Anthropology, on ResearchGate as well as my works on education and applications and methods, particularly in experiential education/ field social science).
Medical Anthropology today is really a euphemism for "Cross Cultural Public Health" and is one of the opportunistic bridges that Anthropology has created to try to create relevance by grabbing on to existing applied and interdisciplinary fields like Public Health and adding something that is "cross cultural" but that doesn't answer the applied health questions that are key to anthropology like cultural sustainability, cultural restoration, cultural protections (understanding and eliminating war and genocide, that are key public health issues with huge implications).
So, do we need, "Cross Cultural Public Health"? YES, in the applied field/ sub-discipline of public health. What exists in this area today in Anthropology isn't the real discipline of Anthropology. It is Public Health and it belongs there. Anthropology needs to be doing what the discipline was designed for; to protect cultures, peace and rights in ways that have a much greater impact on health but that Anthropologists today are politically afraid to do or do not even think about given how the discipline is being gutted (no longer a social science with social science applications but an humanities that just brings a few cross cultural skills into remaining established applied sciences and social sciences).

Any source/s to refer to on identifying methodological gaps/methodology gaps in research?
Please mention the links.
Relevant answer
Answer
A methodological gap refers to a deficiency or inadequacy in the research methods or approach used in a particular study or field. Identifying a methodological gap involves recognizing a limitation or area for improvement in the methodology employed. Here are some steps to help you identify a methodological gap:
  1. Understand the research context: Familiarize yourself with the subject area and the specific research topic of interest. Gain a clear understanding of the existing literature, theories, and methodologies commonly employed in the field.
  2. Review previous studies: Conduct a comprehensive review of relevant literature and examine previous studies that have addressed similar research questions or topics. Look for common trends, methodologies, and approaches used in these studies.
  3. Identify limitations or gaps: Analyze the existing literature critically and identify any limitations or gaps in the methodologies used. Consider factors such as sample size, research design, data collection methods, data analysis techniques, or theoretical frameworks employed. Look for areas where the methods used may have restricted the study's scope, validity, generalizability, or reliability.
  4. Evaluate research objectives and questions: Assess the research objectives and questions of the study you are examining or conducting. Determine if the selected methodology adequately addresses these objectives and research questions. Look for areas where the current methodology may fall short in providing a comprehensive understanding or solution.
  5. Consider alternative approaches: Explore alternative methodologies that could potentially address the identified limitations or gaps. Consider different research designs, data collection techniques, statistical analyses, or theoretical frameworks that may offer more robust or nuanced results. Assess whether these alternative approaches would better align with the research objectives and questions.
  6. Consult with experts: Seek the input of experts or researchers in the field. Engage in discussions or collaborate with colleagues who have expertise in the specific research area to gain their insights and perspectives on potential methodological gaps. They may provide valuable feedback or suggest alternative methodologies.
  7. Justify the identified gap: Once you have identified a methodological gap, it is important to provide a rationale for why the gap exists and why addressing it is necessary. Clearly articulate the limitations or deficiencies in the current methodology and explain how rectifying the gap would enhance the validity, reliability, or overall quality of the research.
