ANTHRO 130: Intro to Cultural Anthropology
Carlos Bazua · Diablo Valley College
This is a class of Introduction to Cultural Anthropology. The chapters selected to make this free textbook are a compilation of writings that are meant to introduce you to the basics of anthropological research. This is an auxiliary source, most of the class will be completed on canvas, but you will need to read these articles to get familiar with the history, theory and methodology of anthropology. [This is an image from a Mural by Mexican artist Jorge González Camarena (1908-1980).

A Cognitive Perspective on Emotion
Mark Pettinelli · Northeastern University
Some things in life cause people to feel, these are called emotional reactions. Some things in life cause people to think, these are sometimes called logical or intellectual reactions. Thus life is divided between things that make you feel and things that make you think. The question is, if someone is feeling, does that mean that they are thinking less? It probably does. If part of your brain is being occupied by feeling, then it makes sense that you have less capacity for thought.
