Why Anthropology?

Anthropology is one of the broadest disciplines. It studies the human being in his various aspects such as cultural, linguistic, social, religious, political, economic. Anthropology allows looking at the society not from the position of a researcher butfrom the position of a member of that society. Therefore, the main method of anthropology is participant observation, or the study of the community in the natural setting.

It studies the issues and problems of modern societies too such as migration, urbanization, ethnic conflicts, poverty, religious extremism.
