I'm in need of help. I have a 1500 word Anthropology essay worth 20% of my final grade. There's not much information in the Uni library and we were told not to use the internet unless the site has been recommended by the tutors or lecturers. But, they have not recommended any on the outline sheet. I messed up my essay outline so I basically have to do this from scratch again.

This is my question:

Outline and comment on how the different sub-discplines in Anthropology [Archealogy, Biological Anthropology, Social Anthropology, Ethnomusicology, and Linguistics] contribute to the understanding of Pacific peoples and their cultures. Choose specific examples to highlight these contributions.

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help. :)

hmmm- good essay! Right, first I would check out www.questia.com- Its basically an online library- will full text books, articles, journals, etc. Its BRILLIANT and saves you both trips to your library (my library is useless as well) and much cheaper and faster than inter-library loans. They have a whole section on anthropology. It costs about 20 us dollars for a months subscription, but you get a 7 day free trial so you might get everything you need for free!

I would also approach it perhaps by initially explaining what each subdiscipline of anthropology offers towards a more 'fuller' understanding of the complexities of the different peoples and cultures in question. (for example, archaeology- and its subdisciplines, like gender archaeology, osteoarchaeology etc) offer unique insights into the material culture of a particular society, and linguistics offers another...)

and then offer specific cultural examples of each. (actually, I'd give a few for each, making them very different).

hope this helps, and feel free to PM me or email me if you need a bit more advice/help! (by the way just so you know I'm not a raving lunatic, I'm in the final year of my doctorate in archaeology/social anthropology. :)

Thanks heaps deadea! I really appreciate it heaps. Wow. I'm planning on doing Archaeology as well next year but I took this Anthro paper because it was the basics and it's also for credits anyway. Thank you so much once again for your help! :)

Don't mean to double post guys!

How about Lenin and the Bolsheviks? They caused the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II as well as the execution of his entire family. That's all that I can think of at the moment.
