Meets these learning objectives:
Define biological anthropology
Discuss what biological anthropologists do
Before writing your introduction, watch the two videos from the Week 1 Module

an introduction that includes the following:
Based on these three sources, what do you think is the purpose of biological anthropology? What are biological anthropologists trying to do? How do they go about doing it? What does it seem like some of the challenges or difficulties are when doing biological anthropology?
Next, describe any particular or specific interests you have in anthropology. If you don’t know anything at all about anthropology, that’s okay. There’s no particular answer I’m looking for here.
Explain your reasons for taking this course. If it’s just that you needed a class for Goal 10, that’s still a reason. There are no wrong answers.
Tell us your major/program.
End with a description of two interesting facts about yourself. Everybody has a few things about them that are interesting in some way.

On the discussion board, share your findings about whether the currency of the country you chose is appreciating or depreciating relative to the US Dollar. What do you think this means for American imports from your country?


While the video provides a reason why a country may want to manipulate the value of it’s currency, doing so is usually a violation of the free trade rules for fully floating currencies. The Chinese Yuan is a managed float currency, while the US Dollar is fully floating. You will examine these terms this week.

This week we are going to look more globally and examine exchange rates.

An exchange rate is simply the price of one currency in terms of another currency. In other words, how many US Dollars does it take to buy one British Pound? Remember that an exchange rate ALWAYS involves two currencies which means two countries. Review in detail, the three Exchange Rate presentations before you start your work on this week’s discussion assignment.

The Exchange Rates Part I presentation is below and can also downloaded as a Powerpoint presentation by clicking: Exchange Rates Exchange Rates – Alternative Formats .

Then review the downloadable Exchange Rates Part II Powerpoint presentation by clicking: here . (Part III is linked later in the instructions.)

– Alternative Formats

While they are conceptually simple, many economic factors go into the determination of exchange rates. And exchange rates influence many of the prices you pay in the store, they influence the number of jobs in the export sector of the economy and they even impact the price of a cup of coffee.

Review the Powerpoint presentation: Exchange Rates Part III Exchange Rates Part III – Alternative Formats before continuing with the week’s discussion.

Now we are ready to examine how exchange rates are determined.
Assignment Summary:
Watch the above video and study the three Exchange Rate Powerpoint presentations;
Go to the X-Rates Web site (http://x-rates.com) and find the current:
exchange rate for the US Dollar (USD) and any other country’s currency that you wish to study – you can select the same country that you are using for your research project, (unless it is the Peoples’ Republic of China). Do NOT select the Chinese Yuan as your other currency since it is not a freely floating currency;
then from the icons below the currency selection boxes, select Graphs and then select 1 year;
based on the 12 months of data, which currency is appreciating (gaining value) and which is depreciating (losing value)? Remember it can do both in a year.
Now go to the CIA World Factbook and find out what goods and products the country you chose exports.
Since most all of the goods that you buy are either imported or contain inputs from other countries, what do the trends in the exchange rates you examined tell you about the prices you can expect to pay for goods imported from the country you choose or for products that use inputs from that country (i.e., the exports of your country)?
In a global economy most products contain materials from other countries and that includes food. If you had orange juice today, it may well have come from Brazil. Your computer and your cell phone contain parts from America or Japan or Taiwan or Thailand or one of the European countries or from all of these places. Thus, exchange rates directly impact the prices you pay for goods. This is your chance to learn more about how that works.
On the discussion board, share your findings about whether the currency of the country you chose is appreciating or depreciating relative to the US Dollar.
What do you think this means for American imports from your country?
What do you think it means for American exports to your country?
