===Comparison with social anthropology=== The rubric ''cultural'' anthropology is generally applied to [[ethnographic]] works that are holistic in approach, are oriented to the ways in which [[culture]] affects individual experience or aim to provide a rounded view of the knowledge, customs, and institutions of a people. ''Social'' anthropology is a term applied to ethnographic works that attempt to isolate a particular system of social relations such as those that comprise domestic life, economy, law, politics, or religion, give analytical priority to the organizational bases of social life, and attend to cultural phenomena as somewhat secondary to the main issues of social scientific inquiry.<ref>{{cite web|title=Anthropology for beginners: Social and cultural anthropology|date=11 June 2010|url=http://sumananthromaterials.blogspot.com/2010/06/social-and-cultural-anthropology.html|access-date=18 March 2014|archive-date=6 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210606163720/http://sumananthromaterials.blogspot.com/2010/06/social-and-cultural-anthropology.html|url-status=live}} Academic blog post explaining the similarities/differences between social and cultural anthropology.</ref> Parallel with the rise of cultural anthropology in the United States, social anthropology developed as an academic discipline in Britain and in France.<ref name="Ho 2009 739β747">{{Cite journal|last=Ho|first=Karen|date=2009|title=Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street|journal=Contemporary Sociology: A Journal of Reviews|volume=41|pages=739β47}}</ref>
