Humans act in shame depending on how members of their community view their behaviour
There is an element of the reading that impacted on me. Firstly, the assessment that humans act in shame depending on how members of their community view their behaviour. The mentioned theory impacts on me since it is in alignment with the social theory that an act is considered ethical depending on its acceptance within a community. As a member of a community, people judge my behaviour depending on how the actions are accepted within the community. The theory explains why people of different sexuality are banned in specific communities despite being taken in others. For example, Gay marriages are accepted in the U.S but are considered a shameful act in a lot of African nations. For me, it is better to learn ways of a community before making interactions.
This reading contributes to psychological anthropology in one major, as explained below: It helps unveils behaviour conformity in humans that can be challenging to understand. This article by Takie Lebra proves the existence of an interaction between the interaction of culture and mental processes. Unlike many anthropological studies, this particular one helps us understand how our cultural and social process informs two cognition processes.
