Final Year Project
Project Title
How have Patterns of Gift Exchange Evolved? An Analysis of Gift Exchange in Generation Z
Description
I did my capstone on Gift Exchange in Generation Z in the course Anthropology of Trade. The research project aimed to use traditional theories on gift exchange and used them to analyze as to how gift exchange patterns have evolved over time. The findings revealed that the way people reciprocated differed in varying circumstances; in some cases it was also considered as a burden. In addition to this, one of the most significant finding was the role of technology. The rising use of digital platforms and online shopping avenues have also brought changes in the practice of gift exchange. Despite these changes, individuals from Generation Z still placed a great deal of importance on physical exchanges and interactions.
