Strategies for Survival: Cultural Behavior in an Ecological Context focuses on the ecological relationships between cultural behavior and its environmental context. The proliferation of ecological studies within anthropology suggests the increasing emphasis given to the systemic context of behavior. The aim of this book is to develop a framework for examining these relationships and for comparing diverse ecological studies within a coherent conceptual structure. It seeks to include any aspect of behavior, to investigate the links between ideological and material factors, to broaden the view o

Post New Order era there was a demand for reform from the Indonesian people, which then led to changes in the concept of regional head election system in accordance with the basic mandate of organizing the Election of Regional Heads indirectly is based on the 1945 Constitution, Article 18 paragraph (4) after the amendment which reads "Governors, Regents, and Mayors respectively as Heads of Provincial, Regency and City Regional Governments are democratically elected "Then the concept of Pilkada after the enactment of Law No. 32 of 2004 in conjunction with Law No. 10 of 2016 ended the dominant influence of the Central Government. The arrival of the decentralization era and the system of direct regional elections made corrupt acts of collusion and nepotism a culture continue to spread to the area that is certain can threaten democracy and the existence of the NKRI. So the authors see a relationship between the concept of the concept of the regional head election system and the culture of corruption in Indonesia, so the solution to overcome this problem is strengthening corruption eradication institutions, strengthening at the regional level effectively, harmonizing legislation, strengthening the principle of general government principles good and enforcement of the rule of law with the principle of equality before the law by realizing that there is a very urgent need to overcome the culture of corruption.

Although masks (face coverings) are a prime tool in fighting airborne pathogens, during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States the use of masks encountered resistance based on existing patterns of cultural division. We argue that mask wearing must be understood basis on existing cultural frames assessed at both the individual level and the state level. We relied on prominent frameworks in cultural psychology: individualism-collectivism as well as independent and interdependent self-construals, the tightness-looseness framework, U.S. honor cultures, and political orientation as predictors. Using multilevel modeling, in a sample of 633 respondents from 45 U.S. states we investigated mask-wearing behavior, masks' perceived utility, implications for well-being, and the social meaning attributed to masks. Conservatism was linked to lower mask wearing, and consistently unfavorable perceptions of mask wearing. Collective interdependence predicted favorable perceptions of masks, as did state-level differences in collectivism; both constructs were linked with viewing mask wearing to be normative. Independent self-construal predicted a greater intent to wear masks, even though masks were also evaluated less favorably. Mediation analyses revealed that a single mediator, the perceived utility of mask wearing, was implicated in translating the effects of different cultural predictors into behavior. Additional findings highlighted that in tightener (vs. looser) states masks wearing was conceived of as a civic duty, whereas in U.S. honor states mask were seen as spoiling one's public image. Our discussion focuses on the cultural and political context of mask wearing, argues that different communities in the U.S. respond to its symbolic and social meaning, and suggest strategies to increase mask wearing among those who are otherwise reluctant to do so.
