¨Anthropology teaches us about other peoples, and in the process it teaches us about ourselves. The anthropologist’s method is different from that of other social scientists, and this influences the nature of the discipline – its theories, concepts, and procedures. Anthropological research involves a journey, a journey in space, a journey through time, a psychological journey into an alien world. It resembles Alice’s trip through the looking glass into another universe where the ‘rules’ may be turned on their heads and people may behave in very different ways.
In many of those memorable lecture that I came across, this is the one that really make me hooked with anthropology. I wasn't into anthro before. I'm more into Dev. Study, chinese language and economics.
But then, I guess, this was the moment that change the course of my journey for the next two years in UniofA. I never regretted this as I enjoy it very much. and thanks God for that.
