Why Take This Course?
OK, I admit it. I'm biased. I love anthropology! For me, anthropology has helped me find answers to many questions that I've had about life. It provides me with tools to understand the world in a way that is objective, but empathetic. It has taught me how to look below the surface for deeper meanings about human behavior. This kind of understanding allows one to see all people as equal human beings. That differences are due to personal and historic experiences of our cultures. Anthropology helps me see things in context; it helps me see the bigger picture. And, it's just cool! There's so much interesting information about the human experience!
