How do we apply anthropology in our daiy lives?

Answer 1

well i use anthropology/sociology in my daily survival here in the ghettos of ohio here;s how i use it:

1.) if i'm walking through an area in my town I haven't been in for a while that is "contested street gang" territory I look for spray paint grafitti tags (meaning if i see what is a known gang tag of those I knew were last in power marked out and a new tag put in it's place that is a sign to me that some new gang has taken control of the area and may or may not be hostile towards me and need to be on my guard because of possible fighting/violent attacks thrown my way while in that area till I leave that area)

Answer 2

First and foremost, we apply anthropology in our daily lives by showing respect. Studying anthropology is particular in that all students learn to observe, understand, and TRULY respect "culture" and its variations. One's mind, world view, analytical capacity are never the same after studying a degree in anthropology (no matter the area of focus).

Analytical tools including comparative studies, contextualizing, and more allow us to distant ourselves from an all human reaction known as cultural egocentrism. The awareness of objectivity versus subjectivity in our every world views and understanding of what is around us is an excellent means for one's application of daily anthropology.

Answer 3

Observation & constructively using that observation. Being aware of what makes people different & understanding the differences does not make peopel evil.
