The following appeared in an article written by Dr. Karp, an anthropologist.
"Twenty years ago, Dr. Field, a noted anthropologist, visited the island of Tertia and concluded from his observations that children in Tertia were reared by an entire village rather than by their own biological parents. However, my recent interviews with children living in the group of islands that includes Tertia show that these children spend much more time talking about their biological parents than about other adults in the village. This research of mine proves that Dr. Field's conclusion about Tertian village culture is invalid and thus that the observation-centered approach to studying cultures is invalid as well. The interview-centered method that my team of graduate students is currently using in Tertia will establish a much more accurate understanding of child-rearing traditions there and in other island cultures."
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.
---------------
argument 1 -- whether or not Tertia and the surrounding island group have changed significantly in the past 20 years?
argument 2 -- where is the exact locations where Dr. Karp’s interviews took place?
argument 3 -- also need to learn more about the interview questions that Dr. Karp’s team used. What exactly did they ask?
argument 4 -- maybe both methods worked; or none of them....
