Language And Culture

Language and Culture

Language, symbolic language, was thought by anthropologists to be unique to humans for decades. Culture was also an identifier for humankind. Scientific studies have gained knowledge of the behavior, knowledge and skills of humans compared to other species. These insights have revealed the remarkable makeup of the human condition as part of the mystery and marvel of life on earth.

You are about to see a few clips from the movie 'The Wild One'. The movie is about a juvenile deliquent who is the leader of a gang. He's leading his friends to do some unlawful things. They are like a biker gang. You will see them doing a number of bad things, but they don't feel as if they are doing bad. They feel as if they are just participating in normal teenage activites. This movie is a great example of how Hollywood views teens. Hollywood puts teens into categories, and this one them. Which some refer to as rebellions.

This movie deals with a lot of underage drinking and smoking. Pretty much everyone smokes and they all think it's the cool thing to do. This shows that this was a long time ago because now a lot of people know how bad smoking tobacco is and try to prevent underage kids from doing it.
