Anthropology Exit ExamWhat is anthropology?Anthropology is a conglomerate of subfields that focuses on the general study of human beings. To a true scholar of the field of anthropology, anthropology is not just another field offered in an educational program like biology and mathematics. Anthropology is a mindset and tool for understanding and classifying every aspect of human interaction of the past, present, and future. The mindset of an anthropologist is a unique personal characteristic, but each mindset shares common themes, this mindset is witnessed on page 75 of Wade Davis' book The Serpent and the Rainbow. like a psychic education, it must manifest itself in symbols, in invisible tones perceived and felt as much as observed” Being an anthropologist does not give a person superhuman senses such auditory ability to hear invisible tones, but what it does is enable every anthropologist to capture and the ability to take all the senses seen in human activity and break them down so that meaning can be ascribed to them so that they can be understood. When it comes to an anthropologist's educational toolbox, the most important feature is its holistic nature of unifying the subfields of anthropology; cultural, biological, linguistic and archaeological. The holistic nature of the toolbox can be represented by a rotating lens that an anthropologist uses to gain a multiple perspective on the area of ​​study, from page 402 of David Anthony's book entitled The Horse The Wheel and Language. “The RV (Rig Veda) and the AV (Avesta) agreed that the essence of their shared Indo-Iranian parental identity was linguistic and ritual, not racial. .in addition to cultural diversity, it is the way in which the behavior of human beings varies. Both culture and biological diversity are equally important when it comes to understanding and tolerating other human beings. Global Society Anthropology provides the knowledge people need to think outside their own culture. Example; two men are watching television, one with some anthropological knowledge and the other without any knowledge, and a film is shown about African children going through a ritual into adulthood. The man with anthropological training has the knowledge to reflect on similar rituals of his culture and understand the reasoning behind that ritual. Now the man with no knowledge of anthropology would most likely be disgusted and turn the channel. And this is a problem because the globe is no longer that big and people need to reflect and understand when they see things that don't belong to their culture.
