As promised, questions for ANTH 110 from today’s class

Posted in: Uncategorised | 0

Here are the questions that I had on my Powerpoint slide this morning:

•In terms of benefits to other kin, the social capital invested in girls depends on the return on the investment to her parents.  Why are Tibetan parents encouraging daughters to move to the city, get educated, and be independent?  Why can this be more “useful” than a daughter who marries out?

•Why don’t these daughter care providers just stay with their natal families?
