Common Constants in Cultural Anthropology. There are, with few exceptions, some constants from culture to culture that anthropologists have been able to study for the purpose of developing both a narrow and very large view of humanity on the whole. Enculturation, personality, language, and culture are related elements found in individual families, larger communities, and societies alike. There are distinct relationships between culture, maintenance systems, child rearing and ecology that, when observed from a detached view, provide a wealth of information about all of the communities (and all of their permutations) throughout the world. It is the assertion of this paper that these characteristics of a people, regardless of size or any other factor, are common throughout all peoples and is thus used as primary markers by anthropologists upon which to base their work. Therefore, this paper will demonstrate such relationships and how they apply to the field of cultural anthropology.
