Anthropology enlightens the learner to understand themselves as well as those around them; each culture varies and offers information that is interesting, and in some cases, helpful to our own understanding of what it means to be human. Our ever-changing world is vast, culture-rich place, full of methods and beliefs waiting to be uncovered. The problem is, some anthropologists do not share their findings with the rest of the world; it is a change that would be wonderful to see. Through the use of many anthropological perspectives, we as people can learn and understand about ourselves, those near us, and others across the world. In a beneficial manner, slowly enlightening and making changes to individual’s minds and previously set beliefs, can impact us as a race of humans to truly understand what it means to be human.
Anthropologists are all greatly concerned with obtaining a broader audience to their research and findings. A handful of aspects in relation to anthropology have a natural tendency to attract attention, while others are nearly inexistant and to the public. Anthropology can be used to simply alter and change social conditions for the better. The difference that may come from it will be rather small, but the complexity here he teaches us that any difference, when applied throughout time, can result in a much bigger difference. As anthropologists we should embrace what we do and share findings. But is it worth it to use our time to inform others who may not necessarily care? In previous years, a number of renowned anthropologists made a lasting impression in society without the public eye and opinion. But making the general public aware of anthropological finds can be important in the difference making process. Anthropology has a particular set of tools for making sense and understanding the world around us, and sharing
