i miss thiese thing in my lecturing my teacher fail to explained this thing to me and i am very glad to got them on youtube thank so much for the service.
Thank you so much, I just learned about parallel and cross-cousin in class yesterday and my Professor made it sound so difficult to understand. You are a life saver, I have a test on this next week.....
OK great just remember parallel is from father's brother (same sex) or mother's sister (same sex) . Cross is from father's sister (different sex) or mother's brother (different sex).
WAAAAH THANK YOU SO MUCH... FINALLY I NOW UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF "EGO" IN KINSHIP. I'M NOW READY FOR MY REPOEY 'BOUT THIS ON FRIDAY ♥️ huhu our teachers always gives us reporting, so it's hard for me to understand this because my teacher didn't discuss this to me before she gave it to me as a report
Taking my first anthropology course this semester and kind of scared since there's a bunch of assignments - kinship diagram exercise, fieldwork diairies, ethnographic writing & participant observation. It's very overwhelming at the momnet. I like this video though, definitely looking forward to learning more. Learning more about Tobriand Islands is also very interesting, made me completely uncomfortable which I think just shows how entrenched the western kindship system is within me.
Hi Nicholas... Can these 25 lectures be used for the preparation of Competitive examination.. I can share you more details. If you will be kind enough to help me.. thanks
Hello Nick, quick question - what if the avuncular uncle is deceased or non-existent? Who then takes on this responsibility for the male child? Also, is this still the same kinship relationship for female children?
Hi Joanne, thanks for your question. I don't do research in societies possessing this kind of kinship arrangement. I did, however, pass your question along to my La Trobe Uni colleague Prof. Helen Lee who does. She does research in Tonga and among Tongans in Australia. The next comment is what she said in response to your question, Nick
Prof. Helen Lee explains: in Tonga it’s the mother’s brother who has an important role, for both male and female children of his sister. But if the mother doesn’t have a biological brother she would likely have a male cousin who would take that role. In Tonga, there’s no word for ‘cousin’ . Kids call, what you might think of as, their cousins 'brothers' and 'sisters'. So usually it would be someone in the same generation. If for, some reason, there was no one from the same generation, then it would be the grandparent’s generation (MMB or equivalent).
Hi Jeana, anthropologists usually use the term "cohabitation" for parents who live together without being married. In kinship diagrams (i.e. "geneaologies") we usually use the 'approximately equal' sign not the 'equal' sign. In other words, we use ≈ and not =. Best wishes, N
"Good question, especially as what we call 'half siblings' occur frequently in societies with multiple spouses or serial monogamy. Kinship diagrams show which couples (father and mother) each child is born to. For instance, in the polygynous marriage diagrammed at faculty.cascadia.edu/tsaneda/cultural/kinship_diagrams.html the half sibling relationship can be inferred from the vertical line to each child close to the relevant mother. Increasingly professional anthropologists, in Australia at least, are using kinship software programs. These programs might indicate relationships, possibly including half siblings, in different ways"
Thanks Nasim, but remember there is very little that is certain in anthropology; we must continually question all the concepts we use, including kinship.
Thank you very much, sir. You're the first one to explain it with interest in the subject.
You're too kind.

Your welcome. Some of my students don't like my teaching style. So I guess different teaching styles work for different students!
I hope you know your video is still helping people today!
Thanks Jonathan K; it's gratifying to hear that.

I'm exactly in the same position lol

Thank you soo...MUCH! i missed class and this is what i missed! u r wonderful blessing!! Thank you!
Kinship is a fascinating study!

OK hope it went well!
thank you so muchhhh. our taecher doesn't lecture much since he wants us to study or research on our own to learn more
No worries. Your teacher's approach can be really empowering for students. I hope you keep learning!

Brilliant. Ur better than all of my teachers thanks a lot!!!
My pleasure. My students are probably looking at your teachers on TH-cam saying your teachers are better than me!
Thank you Sir...It is very Simple and Helpful..
Thank you too!
Beautifully explained, Thanks for the upload.
Thanks for taking the time comment, N
Awesome thanks, really helped me a lot!
Glad to hear.
Thank you! Drawing it out helps. Looking at the text was over whelming.
I felt the same way as an undergrad. It seems much simpler when you just start drawing out your family.
Hi Nicholas... Can these 25 lectures be used for the preparation of Competitive examination.. I can share you more details. If you will be kind enough to help me.. thanks
No, I wouldn't recommend using them for that, sorry, N
@@NicholasHerriman thanks for replying, what can be the possible reason.. can I go for those lectures being included in my Syllabus??
@@majidkhokhar3833 I use these lectures to introduce people to Anthropology. They are not designed for the syllabus of any particular country.

Hi sir, good day! What if they are not married. What sign I have to use in the diagram?
Hi Jeana, anthropologists usually use the term "cohabitation" for parents who live together without being married. In kinship diagrams (i.e. "geneaologies") we usually use the 'approximately equal' sign not the 'equal' sign. In other words, we use ≈ and not =. Best wishes, N
@@NicholasHerriman thank you sir. God bless you.
thank you kindly, that helped me.
I'm glad to hear.
How would a number of half siblings be charted?
"Good question, especially as what we call 'half siblings' occur frequently in societies with multiple spouses or serial monogamy. Kinship diagrams show which couples (father and mother) each child is born to. For instance, in the polygynous marriage diagrammed at faculty.cascadia.edu/tsaneda/cultural/kinship_diagrams.html

What is that ego means
"ego" is the person you're making the diagram about. On the whiteboard, the ego is Nicholas Herriman, i.e. me.
hey, this is great! thank you :>
Thank you Edra!
thank you
You're welcome!
it clears my doubt..... thanks
Thanks Nasim, but remember there is very little that is certain in anthropology; we must continually question all the concepts we use, including kinship.
Thank you very much ... but can you speak slowly because we are non-English speaking communities
Very sorry about that. Making it worse for everyone is my strong Australian accent. I'd like to put in subtitles one day.
If my uncle determined my marriage partner...
Respect s🙏
I think u skipped a generation when talking about marriage .. The blood lines would cross if u do it that way :s
I may well have; as I was ad-libbing. Could you give me the minute and seconds so I can fix it up?
thanks!
You're welcome!
