Final Cultural Research Paper
Throughout this course, we have learned that the primary mode of subsistence (how a culture makes a living) impacts many other aspects of cultural behavior and has been an effective way to organize thoughts and studies about culture. In order to demonstrate your understanding of subsistence modes and its impact on a culture and why a culture acts as it does, your Research Paper will require you to:
Select a specific culture from the following list:
Basseri of Iran
The Batek of Malaysia
Enga
The Amish
Huaorani of Ecuador
Bedouin
Zulu
Kurds
Maori
Mbuti
Nayar of India
Semai
Navajo
Tikopia of Melanesia
Research this culture using the Ashford University Online Library. Please identify and use a minimum of three scholarly articles from the library in addition to the text your research. Keep in mind that most anthropological research, whether article length or book length, is either an ethnography or an ethnology. You may use any combination of ethnographies or ethnologies in your paper.
Write a seven to eight page long research paper that does the following:
Identifies and classifies the selected culture’s primary mode of subsistence. ( Foragers, Horticulturalists, Pastoralists, Emerging Agriculturalists, Agrarian States, or Industrialists)

Islam is a highly controversial and sensitive issue in today’s world, and there are many misconceptions about its beliefs, values, and goals. For example, many Americans believe that most Muslims live in the Middle East, while in reality Indonesia has many more people of the Islamic faith. What this means is that Islam, like Judaism and Christianity, is practiced in many different cultures, and it both shapes and is shaped by those cultures. For this assignment, research the teachings of Islam and how they are interpreted and/or practiced in different countries and cultures, including the United States, Great Britain, the Middle East, India, Pakistan, and other Asian countries. How is Islam understood in each country’s culture and how is it contrasted with Christianity and Judaism? How do these understandings impact the ways that Muslims and non-Muslims interact and communicate with one another?

The A14 Challenge
Background Narrative:
The UK Government’s decision to halt the planned widening of the A14 trunk road in the East of England on cost grounds was followed by a reappraisal of the strategic options to relieve congestion on this important route.
A public consultation process concluded in May 2012 with the publication of the summary of the consultation findings. Media interest in the revised proposals has been strong.
As a key influencer of business opinion in the region, The University of Northampton has been asked to put forward a senior executive to take part in an edition of the popular television politics programme “Question Time”. The programme is to be broadcast from Felixstowe and the A14 is expected to be one of the issues raised by the audience.
Task
You are to prepare a briefing paper for the Executive, setting out your summary of the issues surrounding the A14 debate, the decisions that have been arrived at and the next steps.
The format of your briefing paper is for you to decide, however the document should not exceed 2500 words in length.
As a minimum, you should cover the following headings:
• A summary of the challenges facing current users of the A14 trunk road
• The reasons for the cancellation of the original scheme that would have widened the road to six lanes.
• The differing views of key stakeholders (a stakeholder map would be useful here)
• Your preferred logistics solution to reducing the impact of HGV traffic on the A14 and an estimate of the impact it would have.
• Your suggestions concerning the next steps for the project
Any data you quote should be appropriately referenced using the Harvard System.
Please write a literature review of current findings on effective process improvements hospitals in the United States,have made in regards to productivity, cost, and efficiency.
