Use as little online research as possible, unless you are getting it from actually anthropological websites. Do not use Wikipedia. Seriously. Please DO add quotes and citing from the reading I upload. Citing should be Anthropology style. (Last name, year) I will upload a couple other readings that you may also quote from, but please stick to the instructions completely. I do not have time for revisions and will only ask for a refund immediately.
Introduction should not be full of statistics and history found from websites. You may put a sentence or two if it can be directly sourced by the articles I provided. Other than that, please make it a summary of the topic and main points from the paper.
“ Imagine you are trying to market water from Bali in the US as bottled water and imagine that you are heading up an NGO working to stop the bottling of water in Bali. You are reading Steve Lansing’s book Priests and Programmers, to seek insights into what makes this water special to the Balinese. You are also reading Richard Wilk’s article “Bottled Water the Pure Commodity” to seek insight into what US Americans look for in bottled water and to think about why they might want to buy it, or to boycott it.
In this paper, first, describe how the Balinese value water. Second, imagining that you are trying to sell water from Bali in the US, create an advertising campaign. What would you call the water? What Balinese symbols, tropes and images, if any, might you use to market it? What Balinese symbols, tropes and images would you avoid? What US symbols, tropes and images might you use to sell this water to US Americans? Use some of the same questions to consider how people could mobilize (in Bali and in the US and in other parts of the world), to stop or change the sale of bottled Balinese water.
You may illustrate your paper if you wish. The paper should be based on the class readings, especially Lansing and Wilk.
