Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Anthropology is the scientific study of humanity, concerned with human behavior, human biology, and societies, in both the present and past, including past human species.[1][2][3] Social anthropology studies patterns of behaviour and cultural anthropology[1][2][3] studies cultural meaning, including norms and values. Linguistic anthropology studies how language influences social life. Biological or physical anthropology[1][2][3] studies the biological development of humans. Visual anthropology, which is usually considered to be a part of social anthropology, can mean both ethnographic film (where photography, film, and new media are used for study) as well as the study of "visuals", including art, visual images, cinema etc. Oxford Bibliographies describes visual anthropology as "the anthropological study of the visual and the visual study of the anthropological".[4]

Social anthropology is that branch of anthropology which deals with human culture

and society emphasising cultural and social phenomena including inter personal and

inter group relations especially of non literate people. All social sciences study human

behaviour, but the content, approach and the context of sociology and social

anthropology are very different from other disciplines. Apart from studying the internal

characteristics of the society, social anthropology also studies the external

characteristics of the population and rate and stage of its progress. The problems of

the society are explained using these factors. Secondly, it also studies institutions like

– political, economic, social, legal, stratification, etc. It studies the features that these

institutions share and the features that are different. Their degree of specialisation and

level of autonomy are also studied. Durkheim, one of the pioneers of social

anthropology called social anthropology as the study of social institutions. Thirdly,

social anthropology is the study of social relationships. By social relationship we

mean the interactions between individuals. Interactions between individuals are mediated

by norms and values of the society and are intended to achieve goals.
