Letter to Future Anthropology Students
Dear Colleagues,
This letter is meant to help you make an informed decision on whether anthropology should be your minor or major. The letter addresses anthropology as related to human life. My hope is that you will gain from reading this letter and that you will, therefore, easily, decide. Anthropology focuses on human diversity and its meaning. It also looks at the inequities that bedevil human existence over time and the geographical stretch that such events occur in. Anthropology is both a humanistic science and a social science. The course is usually placed under the college of Humanities and Social Sciences in most universities across the globe. It explores the whole range of human activities and their attainments thereof. It has never been more important to understand the world we live in more than it is in the modern era. It is almost a survival requirement to understand the world and the environment around us. This includes getting the hang of how humans have adapted to the surroundings and even transformed it socially; including how we relate to each other. Anthropology provides a useful lens through which we can gain an in-depth understanding of cultural, institutional, and social triggers of world problems...

Through the course, learners get to acquire necessary analytical skills to dissect, analyze and get an inside understanding of complex, rapidly changing and pluralistic world. The challenges relating to human rights, environmental and social justice, the power relations between cultures and various nations, plus an increased awareness in matters that relate to inequality as far as ethnicity, sexuality and gender are concerned and the solutions to the above issues is part and parcel of Anthropology.
While we are influenced by what surrounds us, we also shape the world around us with our actions. Indeed, we are both natural and nature itself because the sum total of existence cannot be viewed in terms of sheer innate or external influence. It is essentially a combination of both phenomena (Fuentes).
Anthropology seeks to make the world a better place. The anthropological approaches, applied in science and technology, are likely to begin with humans; as opposed to specific non-human aspects. These entities arise in the analysis that focuses on the possibilities and the limits that they pose to human life.

Pedagogic Model for Teaching of Technology to Special Education Students Almost thirty years ago, the American federal government passed an act mandating the availability of a free and appropriate public education for all handicapped children. In 1990, this act was updated and reformed as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which itself was reformed in 1997. At each step, the goal was to make education more equitable and more accessible to
Unnatural Acts: Charting the Future of Teaching the Past When someone mentions a historical fact, we more or less accept it as just that -- a fact, without ever questioning the authenticity of the source, analysis and interpretation process applied to it and the accuracy of the conclusion. We assume that since a historian wrote it down carefully after thorough research in a published book, it must be correct and should
. Even when the child in a home where DV occurs is not physically harmed, most of the time, these children know about the violence. As a result, they may experience emotional and behavior problems (The Domestic Violence…, N.d.). A victim of DV needs to be reminded: She is not alone. She is not at fault. Help is available. In The physician's guide to domestic violence, P.R. Salber and E. Taliaferro (N.d.). about stress
Low-Context cultural factors assumes that very little is taken for granted; this dictates that there is less chance of misunderstanding various cultural aspects of a specific group or society. Hall draws the parallel between the French and American cultures to highlight the difference between High Context and Low Context ("Hall's Cultural Factors," 2010). Hall asserts that French contracts are shorter in page count than American contracts. This is due to

Evidence shows that the recent increment in immigration is because of economic refugees from southern European nations because of the euro disaster (Conradt 2013, p.117). However, the debate regarding the considerable rise in immigration in German falls back to the Turkish community integration, which depicts the uppermost number of foreigners in Germany, the Europe largest economy.
