For my anthropological observation study, I will write about my culture which I will be familiar with as I have a greater understanding. And I will also be able to analyze some aspects based on the observations I have received throughout my life. I was born in Sri Lanka into a Hindu family and lived there for twelve years, until I came to Canada. I would like to write about the Sri Lankan Tamil Hindus, whom I have observed so far in Sri Lanka and Canada. I will focus on family relationships and social life. In this essay I will argue that Tamil culture has changed in Canada over time and why it is important to adapt to a new culture in a different country. As we have studied during the lessons, the culture of a particular community is only meaningful when we study it in their context. If we study them out of context, they have no cultural value or meaning. The culture of the Sri Lankan Tamils ​​contains many traditions and customs. Customs and rituals are part of society from generation to generation and some are relatively new. Most of these customs are related to daily life for most people in the social and religious environment and are considered desirable and constructive. I would like to discuss some of the course readings such as Madumo: A man Bewitched by Adam Ashforth, Soliciting Gifts and Negotiating Agency by Durham Deborah, The notion of witchcraft explains unfortunate events by Evan Pritchard, Grief and a Headhunter's Rage by Rosaldo Renato, and Deep play by Geertz Clifford. Sri Lankan Tamils ​​have ancient and modern cultures that differ from family to family. In general we can say that families and family obligations play an important role in the lives of most community members. The benefits of families... in the middle of the paper... will be reciprocated. Gift giving by Canadian Tamil has changed significantly. Most people give gift cards or what they need on the occasion, for example for a new house, people would buy futures or kitchen utensils, etc. I can say that Tamil giving is not a similar concept to Deborah Durham's giving in Botswana, where people will not keep track of the gift received or given. In Tamil communities people sometimes keep a register with all the details of gifts received and when the time comes they are reciprocated immediately. I would definitely say that we can apply the Tamil gift is similar to Marcel Mauss' idea of ​​exchanging gifts as he concluded that exchanging gifts has an important meaning as it led to the formation of respect between the giver and the receiver. Respect came from the honor of giving a response and the moral obligation to reciprocate.
