Anthropology has been something that I continuously see myself taking part of further on in life. I I think that it is a very unique job that can and should be used in every field. One always needs an expert on the rule of the land, and all of the intertwining systems that need to be acknowledged before trying to bring change to a place, or even to fully understand a group of people.
I wasn't in class for the movie, so I'm writing more about my interests in pursuing Anthropology as a career. I am a Race and Ethnic studies major, also being a White male, I feel like anthropology is necessary for me to begin to understand the race relations and policies in our own country. We wouldn't have such great understanding of different familial structures or kin networks of we never had anthropologists jump into our own culture. There are tons of other examples oh how anthropology is important to studying race relations in all cultures.
Largely I would like to use anthropology with my work in Juvenile Hall. I volunteer every Thursday and Friday, and since taking this intro class, I have begun to improve my ethnographic skills, as well as improved my understanding of the Juvenile Hall. I imagine that I will be doing much more anthropological work in juvenile hall, and hopefully use it in my capstone when I am a senior.
