What is Anthropology?
It is compound of two Greek words,
“anthropos and logos” which can be
translated as human and reason,
respectively.
So anthropology means reason
about humans or knowledge about
humans.
Social anthropology
would then mean
knowledge about
humans in societies.
Culture
The word culture which is
also crucial to the discipline,
originates from the Latin
“colore” which means to
cultivate.
Cultural anthropology
thus means knowledge
about cultivated humans;
that is, knowledge about
those aspects of humanity
which are not natural, but
which are related to that
which is required.
Every human is equally
cultural; in the sense, the
term refers to a basic
similariy within humanity.
On the other hand, people
have acquired different
abilities, notion, etc., and
thereby different because of
culture.
The relationship between culture and
society can be described in the following
way. Culture refers to the acquired,
cognitive, symbolic aspects of existence,
whereas society refers to the social
organization of human life, pattern of
interaction and power relationships. The
implications of the analytical distinction,
which may seem bewildering, will
eventually be evident.
Anthropology is the
comparative study of
cultural and social life.
It is most important
method is participant
observation, which consist
in lengthy fieldwork in a
particular social setting.
