This is a 5 page paper comparing two readings from Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict. Ruth Benedict’s “Patterns of Culture” and Margaret Mead’s “Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies” are considered prominent texts in the world of social and cultural anthropology. In “Patterns of Culture” Benedict tells her theory of the “Integration of Culture” where it is necessary not to study a culture by observing and generalizing the sum of its parts but in actual fact, cultures and the personalities within it can only be described as a whole concept where the influences, economics, religion and family dynamics must all be considered as an influences on the whole. In Margaret Mead’s study of “The Lake-Dwelling Tchambuli” of Papua New Guinea in “Sex and Temperament”, she accurately describes the tribe and its varied aspects of temperament and gender roles and finds them to differ greatly than the other tribes around it. The influences found within the Tchambuli and their different personalities, according to Benedict then, must be based on the unique and specific background of the cultural elements within the tribe.
