About Bachelor of Arts - Anthropology
Anthropology is the study of the origins, evolution and diversity of humans as cultural and biological creatures, from millions of years ago to the present. With a perspective that is holistic, comparative, and interdisciplinary, anthropology is subdivided into specializations that explore the full range of cultural, social, archaeological, evolutionary, and biological aspects of species, providing a broadly comprehensive assessment of the human condition. Cultural anthropologists deploy an immersive methodology, integrating themselves for an extended period of time into the everyday lives of local communities around the world, documenting the diversity of beliefs and practices associated with language, kinship, religion, politics, economics, illness and health, child-rearing, and other aspects of social life. While archaeologists are interested in the same topics, they use architectural, artefactual, and human remains to reconstruct the human past, extending understanding of people beyond history.
Sociology is the study of group behavior and society. The realization that social world - be it a family, a campus, a city, a nation, an entire world - guides actions and life choices is an essential lesson of the discipline. To think sociologically is to realize how the general categories into which everyone fall shape their particular life experiences and influence thoughts, feelings, and actions. In doing so sociologists examine the causes and consequences of human behavior; the goal is not to document a particular perspective of society but rather to know how societies work and why. The field of sociology has broad scope. Topics of investigation range from intimate relationships to the consequences of overpopulation; from shared religious beliefs to social movements promoting radical social change; from problems of poverty to corporate downsizing; from questions of group solidarity and shared identities to instances of group conflict and violence. Sociology provides a distinctive perspective on the world and addresses many challenging issues that are confronting society and the world today.
