Reflect Upon


Today’s young people have been branded as the
“millennials” and members of “generation Z” (or
simply “Gen Z”) by scholars and other popular
culture observers. You and your classmates belong to
Gen Z. Using a triple Venn diagram, show how your
generation’s supposed characteristics are different
from those of millennials and members of Generation
X (your parents). As the diagram demands, you must
also write the commonalities that your generation
shares with millennials and members of Gen X.



















Essential Learning

The field of anthropology has



started as a field of inquiry on the
difference between western societies
and those that are technologically
simple. However, through the
continuous study of the variance of
human populations and their cultures,
anthropology transitioned into a tool
for social critique in contemporary
Essential Learning

Culture, being the prime unit of



analysis in anthropology, has been
observed as possessing universal
traits-adaptive, communal, and
holistic, to name a few. An
understanding of cultural variation
allows for a more inclusive and
accepting approach in societies and
their members.
Beyond Walls 3.1 : Apply It in Real Life

Students haveconsistently been


complaining of the
inappropriateness of their uniforms
to the weather conditions of our
country. Some have argued that
their uniforms, though very
fashionable, are not comfortable
especially during humid days.
Beyond Walls 3.1 : Apply It in Real Life

Because you are a clothing designer,



you have tasked to develop a set of
uniforms for males and females that are
conducive to the weather conditions of
our country. You know that some schools
have more than one set of uniforms
because of the various activities that the
students engage in. So come up with at
least three designs that have different
functions.
Beyond Walls 3.1 : Apply It in Real Life

Draw your designs


 on sheets of
bond paper and compile them in a
portfolio. You should also write a
brief explanation of the features of
each designs based on creativity,
feasibility or practicality, and
weather adaptability. This activity
can be done in groups.
Extend Your Knowledge


There is a growing distribution of alternative facts and the
rise of extremist beliefs that divide society. Thus,
anthropology plays a crucial role in lending the public its
“lens” of critical analysis. This link will lead you to an article
that discusses the role of anthropology in today’s world as a
source of social critique:

After reading this, write a 500-word essay on how you


can use the “lens” of anthropology to address a social issue
that our country is facing today.
