Marriage as Economic Exchange
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing the types of economic exchanges that take place at or near a marriage. In developed economies such as that in the United States, couples are likely to open a joint checking account (or not) and agree to combine all household income among the working and middle classes.

Marvin Harris/Our Kind
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page analysis and review of Marvin Harris' Our Kind, a book which continues his series of well-written, informative texts, which outline his theories of cultural materialism, in a manner that makes his ideas accessible to the non-scientific, general reading public. According to Dr. Harris, cultural materialism is an approach to understanding human social structure that is predicated on one simple, basic premise, which is that "human social life is a response to the practical problems of earthly existence" (1990). In other words, Harris proposes that it is not our genes that create our destiny, but rather the demands of the environment in which we live. No additional sources cited.
