| Anthropology is the study of what it means to be human. It begins with the assumption that diversity is the defining characteristic of humanity, and more specifically by the capacity to acquire a specific way of life and set of roles in a system. Hence, anthropologists conclude (1) there is no right, correct, or normal way for people to live or to create a community for themselves, and (2) by looking at humanity in a global frame, each person can also gain critical insight into their own life. If there are so many ways of life that people have created and continue to create for themselves, then anthropologists say we each must ask //why do I have to be this way?// and //isn’t there some alternative way people can adopt?// This class introduces the tools of anthropology with the aim of equipping students to question their own existence and the authority of dominant ideas. | Anthropology is the study of what it means to be human.
