Content: In other words, we must extend grace whenever and wherever possible while introducing as little of our own biases as possible. One way to provide this support is to study, learn to understand, and document people's lives and behaviors via the science of anthropology. Observing behaviors that are framed by different contexts of interaction can do this. Some examples of these contexts include 1) the various worldviews to which people adhere, 2) the religious beliefs and practices of particular cultures, 3) the political organizations through which people govern themselves, or are governed, and 4) through the expressive cultures or artistic expressions put forth by various societies. This search for knowledge and understanding requires the shedding of our ethnocentric natures, which allows us to see and study diverse societies through a scientific lens with limited bias and prejudice. Ultimately, this search should be tempered with empathy, indulgence, and mutual understanding which will culminate in an interdependent and trusting relationship -- both worthy goals for any anthropologist! Why Study Anthropology
