What is Anthropology and what are the Major Subfields? When the question of what is Anthropology is raised amongst most individuals, the answer can sometimes be one that is unquestionably vague as Anthropology varies in different subfields. Anthropology is the study of humans, past and present to understand the complexity of various cultures. In addition, Anthropology builds upon knowledge from social and biological sciences as well as the humanities and physical sciences. Anthropology consists of four subfields which are Archaeology, Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, and Linguistic Anthropology.
Anthropological culture shows a very accurate view of the way of life of a certain group of people. By studying the anthropological culture of a certain group of people, it shows how the people actually made decisions and handled everyday problems. This type of culture shapes the lives of all of the people that are subject to it. This is contrary to Popular culture where people choose the items that are used to judge their culture. If it were not for Anthropological culture, Popular culture would be non-existent.
Anthropology studies humankind, from our appearance millions of years ago to the present. Anthropologists are the only ones that want to understand everything about humans existence.

The profession is interested in how people live in particular places and how they organize, govern, and create meaning. The cultural anthropologist takes a look at the similarities and differences within and among societies and focuses its attention to race, sexuality, class, gender, and nationality.
“People, tend to dwell on the past. I like to dwell on the future. After all, that is where I will be spending the rest of my life.” ~ Leslie Fieger Education, knowledge, family and faith are the driving force of my life.

The Purpose of Education (as We Know It) Education is, literally, the act of acquiring general knowledge and developing powers of reasoning and judgment. Linguistics is a funny thing though and it can’t deliver the entire scope of the many different cultural and historical contexts that the word education truly embodies. The focus of the essay, “The Myth of Education and Empowerment” by Gary Colombo, Robert Cullen, and Bonnie Lisle, is to explore how the historical roots of the United States’ education system and its original purpose give great influence to how we, in our American culture, perceive both the school system and education in and of itself. In this vein I believe that the purpose of education is multifaceted. Education is itself a noble goal.

Lots of people travel abroad to experience and learn about the country, and the best way to learn those is to act exactly the same as the one who live in there.
