A key phrase in anthropology (the study of human culture) is “enculturating device.” An enculturating device is a means to teach children how to behave in a given society.

Choose an enculturating device from your childhood. Describe the value(s) it taught and how it reflected the culture in which you grew up.You may choose anything you wish, as long as it is narrow enough for a short (2-3 page) paper. Possible examples include: a TV show (like SpongeBob), a popular children’s book, a particular toy, and so on.

THIS IS AN OUTLINE AND A ESSAY, PUT OUT LINE ON SEPERATE PAGE

Post enculturation essay thesis and two or three topic sentences here. You may NOT re-use a thesis from our readings.

NOTE: A THESIS is the main idea of the essay (topic and arguable idea).

A TOPIC SENTENCE is the main idea of the paragraph (topic and arguable idea that supports the thesis).

• Barbie dolls enculturate young girls to a society in which men are considered inconsequential accessories.
• The children’s show Spongebob Squarepants enculturates its viewers to a culture of confused gender roles and identity.

All of these theses contain something unexpected or surprising, to engage the reader. As you brainstorm, ask yourself what you already know, and what you would be interested in reading.
