Unreferenced date November 2006 In response to the pressure from feminism and cultural trends highlighting characteristics in workers which have culturally been associated with women , feminisation of the workplace is a label given to the trend towards greater employment of women, and of men willing and able to operate with these more feminine modes of interaction. Drivers of this change are said to be the increase in socially interactive work such as telemarketing telesales , psychotherapy therapy , personal services, caring professions and the like which have tended to place a premium on empathy , listening and emotionally well tuned responses. Citation needed date June 2008 These are the markers of the so called feminisation empathy, sociability , greater emotional engagement, a greater preference for non confrontational interactions, emotional sensitivity. Citation needed date June 2008 There is some dispute about how far these things are cultural constructions and how far they are biologically innate . There does seem to be evidence to support the latter POV statement date December 2009 without it being determinist and there are a number of factors that seem to show that there is a part played by enculturation and socialisation. The real debate is where the boundary between the two interpretations lies and how to explain it.

All mental model neurophysiological models comprising an individual s cognized environment develop from these nascent models which exist as the initial, genetically determined neural structure s already producing the experience of the fetus and infant . These nascent models are referred to as neurognostic structures, neurognostic models, or simply neurognosis. When theorists wish to emphasize the neurognostic structures themselves, they may be referred to as structures in the structuralist sense or models . The neurognostic structures correspond somewhat to Carl Jung s archetype s ref Charles Laughlin Laughlin, Charles D. 1996 Archetypes, Neurognosis and the Quantum Sea. Journal of Scientific Exploration 10 3 375 400. ref . Jung s reference to the essential unknowability of the archetypes in themselves also applies to neurognostic structures in biogenetic structural formulations. Neurognosis may also refer to the functioning of these neural structures in producing either experience or some other activity unconscious to the individual. This usage is similar to Jung s reference to archetypal imagery, ideas, and activities that emerge into and are active in consciousness.

Educational anthropology is a sub field of anthropology and is widely associated with the pioneering work of George Spindler . As the name would suggest, the focus of educational anthropology is obviously on education, although an anthropological approach to education tends to focus on the cultural aspects of education, including informal as well as formal education. As education involves understandings of who we are, it is not surprising that the single most recognized dictum of educational anthropology is that the field is centrally concerned with cultural transmission. ref Comitas, L. and Dolgin, J. 1979.

Cultural learning , also called cultural transmission , is the way a group of people or animals within a society or culture tend to learn and pass on new information. Learning styles are greatly influenced by how a culture socializes with its children and young people. The key aspect of culture is that it is not passed on biologically from the parents to the offspring, but rather learned through experience and participation. The process by which a child acquires his or her own culture is referred to as enculturation . On the basis of cultural learning, people create, remember, and deal with ideas. They understand and apply specific systems of symbolic meaning . Cultures have been compared to sets of control mechanisms , plans, recipes, rules, or instructions. Cass Sunstein recently described how Wikipedia moves us past the rigid limits of socialist planning that Friedrich Hayek attacked on the grounds that no planner could possibly obtain the dispersed bits of information held by individual members of society. Hayek insisted that the knowledge of individuals, taken as a whole, is far greater than that of any commission or board, however diligent and expert. In non human animals A wide variety of social animals learn from other members of their group or pack. Wolves , for example, learn multiple hunting strategies from the other pack members. A large number of bird species also engage in cultural learning such learning is critical for the survival of some species. Dolphins also pass on knowledge about tools tool use . ref cite journal author Kr tzen M, Mann J, Heithaus MR, Connor RC, Bejder L, Sherwin WB title Cultural transmission of tool use in bottlenose dolphins journal Proc.
