| 26 | Use the searchable online notes on Human Relations Area Files (see *[HRAF]*) to address the following: | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | Select 3 societies from different areas of the world. | ||
| 29 | * Situate these societies geographically and economically. | ||
| 30 | * Compare occupation and work between the three societies. | ||
| 31 | * Compare approaches to socialisation/education in the three societies. | ||
| 32 | * Compare the life cycle in the three societies | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | Write a brief set of web pages that address the following questions:. | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | * How are the societies similar? How are they different? What might account for some of the similarities and differences? How does doing a comparison differ from looking at a society in isolation? | ||
| 37 | * This material should be in one or more files, inside a folder called 'hraf', which is inside your www folder. The files should, of course, be accessible from your home page | ||
