Summary

Cultural anthropologists generally subscribe to only one out of two types of theories. One approach focuses on everyday behavior as a system that develops in response to human needs. The other approach focuses on the systems of meanings by which thoughts, rituals, and mythology in a society are structured. The author thinks that anthropologists should actually use both approaches together, along with a third approach. This third approach views a community as a set of individuals whose actions make up everyday life.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

Even if some anthropologists disagree, their competing approaches to anthropological theory could be employed jointly.

Theories that focus on different aspects of a field of study can sometimes be used together.
