Doing Anthropology involves studying other cultures, and through such study becoming aware of the many possible forms which such institutions as the family, art, politics or economics can take. Anthropology exposes many of the things, which we in the West assume to be natural to, in fact, be cultural constructions of it (such as the notion that there are two sexes-some cultures recognize three; or that it is normal for human beings to be acquisitive, many cultures are far more interested in exchange). Above all, Anthropology helps to expand our notions of what it means to be a person by introducing us to what is involved in becoming a person to the Tamil, Inuit or Ndembu way. The major in Anthropology is intended for students interested in acquiring a good level of skill and knowledge to study cultural life in diverse human societies.
