Request for help editing writing sample (very short)

[viveke]

So one of my PhD applications requires 2x2000 words for a writing sample. I'm planning to submit a short essay (~1600 words) I wrote for an MSc class for one, but we won't get feedback or grades until the middle of January, which is when this application is due, and I don't currently have anyone to ask to review it. I hadn't officially studied anthropology before starting the program I'm currently in, and I'm a little worried that my arguments will sound simplistic, or stupid, or both. So if anyone is bored enough to want to read it, please let me know Thanks!

PM me, I'll look it over.

Would still greatly appreciate another set of eyes if anyone else is willing (phyanth pointed out it was more of a cultural anthropology paper). I'd be happy to read anything in return if anyone still has deadlines approaching

What's it on? I might be able to help out but if it's TOO culturally related I might not be able to help too much. Maybe give some pointers here and there.

I guess it's on cultural evolution- basically I review some studies on cross-cultural differences in learning and norm transmission, and talk about maintenance of cultural variation

I might be able to help. You can send it to me and I can try to get to it early this week.
