What
Good is
One of the ways to check this out for yourself would be to do a "clipping file" over the course of 8-10 weeks, as you think about anthropology and investigate what it is all about. The clipping file project involves reading news sources over the course of 8-10 weeks, and clipping interesting articles that seem relevant to topics, ideas and concerns that are dealt with in anthropology. When you begin to pay attention to such items, it is uncanny sometimes how they seem to suddenly show up in the news. And if you look broadly, you might be amazed at how many such articles appear in the news on a regular basis, covering each of the five fields of anthropology. This exercise alone will give you a practical, day to day look at the ways in which our society is in need of such a discipline as anthropology, to help understand and deal with our human diversity.
