Overview

Anthropology聽offers聽a unique opportunity to understand human cultural聽diversity.

Tropical rainforests and other ecosystems are degrading聽at ever-increasing聽rates, globalization聽is聽affecting聽the most remote corners of the earth, and聽our聽own society聽is becoming聽increasingly multicultural.聽To understand these phenomena, we聽must聽consider聽the nature of cultural diversity, the connections between our fate and the fate of other peoples, and the short-聽and long-term processes of socio-cultural change which have made our world what it is.

Anthropology聽gives you a chance聽to look at the world "from the ground up". You can聽learn about the history and values of a group of people by spending time聽in聽their community and learning from them.聽You could also learn about ancient cultures through Archeology, which is the study of human culture through artefacts.聽This makes anthropology a central link among the social and historical disciplines.
