CULTURAL MATERIALISM

It is based on the simple premise that human social life is a response to the practical problems of earthly existence.... Cultural materialism, with its emphasis upon the encounter between womb and belly and earth and water, also opposes numerous strategies that set forth from words, ideas, high moral values, and aesthetic and religious beliefs to understand the everyday events of ordinary human life.
-Marvin Harris

“BABIES” (2009)
Using evidence from the movie, compose a one-page (single space) response to one of the following questions:1. To what extent does this documentary illustrate how all human beings are fundamentally the same, yet our physical and cultural environment shapes us from the moment we emerge from the womb?2. To what extent does this documentary shift perspective on our general belief that “the way we do things is the only way to do things”?
