The discipline of Anthropology is based
on knowledge that culture impacts every aspect
of human existence. Anthropologists
investigate this through a holistic perspective.
They believe that the understanding of past and
present societies, from their social structure,
religion and language, sex and symbolisms
contributes to the big picture.

Anthropology is an important part of
education for many reasons: it allows people to study how
humans and other organisms react to certain environments.
It gives us insight in how things work, live, and coexist.
Through anthropology, we can determine how things were
made, live and react to different scenarios and how
different texts and our perception of ideas change us. It
also help us to study the changes that happen upon the
nature or from ourselves or from other organisms. Along
with this it shows us a great deal how much more
advanced we are to become.
