answers rated A+ 2025
•Weber's four (4) characteristics of a bureaucratic organization - correct
answer 1) Specialization and division of labor 2) Clear and defined
hierarchical structure 3) Rules and regulations 4) Technical competence
guidelines
•Wilkinson's "Shall the Islands be Preserved" - Know it. - correct answer
Basically Indian land is scattered throughout the country (islands) and has
plethoras of economically feasible resources (minerals, oil, lumber) but it is
protected by Indian historical laws. Then in the early 1950's congress turned
to termination, which threatened to destroy all tribes that it touched.
Termination cut off all federal health, education, and welfare benefits, as well
as the tax exempt status of tribal lands. Tribal organizations were disbanded
and federal programs to the tribal council were phased out. no land remained
to exert sovereignty and no tribal entity was left to exert it. The main gist was
also that these "Islands" are cultural islands that are important to maintain
because that culture can be completely destroyed due to them being few and
far between.(islands are reservations and they should be preserved because
they are a way of life to the native people).
•What are the "conformity mechanisms" utilized by the Forest Service
according to Kaufman? - correct answer uniforms, use book(manual), early
socialization of new recruits (hammered values and norms to behave
similarly), only foresters in line positions (positions of power).
From the "Tree People" movie - Be able to identify examples of material
culture and the methods by which knowledge about material is transferred -
correct answer Stripping tree bark, dying it, and turning it into mats.
Knowledge of traditions is transferred via shared experiences, and elder
works with a younger relative and teaches them.
