Reich, Alice

Urban Anthropology and Studies of Cultural Systems and World Economic Development, v18 n1 p121-27 Spr 1989

Contrasts the values taught in a cultural anthropology course with those pervasive in contemporary American culture. Discusses the relationship between values and attempts to define what it means to be human. Argues that teaching using a cross-cultural perspective empowers students to discover what is truly meaningful to their lives. (JS)
