i was thinkin about this as a career. im only 16 tho. what classes should i take in high school. is it good pay? how popular is it? how many years of school is this?!?!

A career in anthropology can be prepared for by taking classes in history, social science, world cultures courses, a foreign language or two, and more. High schools usually don’t have anthropology courses.

There are four sub-disciplines in anthropology:
1) cultural anthropology–the study of human societies and cultures; this discipline is enormous in scope, and includes doing ethnographies and ethnologies, the anthropology of religion, gender roles, ritual, folklore and mythology, and much more.
The groups studied can be entire cultures and societies, down to subcultural groups.
2) biological, or physical anthropology–this is the physical study of the human being, and fields can include medical anthropology, dental anthropology, forensic anthropology, bioarcheology, paleoanthropology, the study of human origins, and primatology, the study of our non-human primate relatives.
3) archeology–the study of the culture of past human societies. you can specialize in prehistoric archeology, historic archeology, and have specialties in Egyptology, Mayan Archeology, stone tools or lithics, ceramics, textiles, and much, much more.
4) anthropological linguistics–the study of the history and dissipation, structure, and change in human languages.

All of the above will require lots of study at the university level.

If you want a job after a four year bachelor’s degree in archeology, you can do so
with an undergraduate degree in anthropology or archeology, as long as you take a six hour credit course in archeological field school, and an introductory archeology course. Typically, you can be paid about $12-15 per hour, and get free hotel and about $35 per day cash for food from this job, but be prepared for long hours and to live in a hotel and essentially be a migrant worker, moving from project to project depending on the season.

If you want more, you must get a master’s degree, which is an additional two years of school. The ph. D. is the ultimate degree, and takes the longest time to achieve.
Essentially you would be professor and researcher. It is one of my goals (i’ve got a master’s degree in archeology, and will return to school after a few years of teaching in China).

I don’t know about your high school, but mine never had Anthropology courses. Biology, though, helps. It’s okay pay. I mean, you might not get rich off it, but it’s interesting! Anthropology, in a summerize defintion, is the study of human beings. There’s different fields to it: Archeology, Physical Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Cultural Anthropology (you can always google it to find out more info). I really don’t know how popular it is…

To get a decent job in any Anthropology course you need at least a Masters degree. Having a Bachelors degree really isn’t going to cut it. Getting a PhD, however, is the best! So 5-6 years to get a Masters and to get a PhD will take a lot more.

Inspired by a previous comment based on a misunderstanding of homophobia:
——————
“Many feminists, as part of their feminism, fight homophobia, which is often a form of sexism. Homophobia as sexism is based on an *adherence to rigid, traditional gender roles and intolerance of those who do not*, which is one of the things feminism tries to fight; although it respects the rights of men and women to be traditional if they choose, it doesn’t want these roles to be forced.

Not only does fighting homophobia and strict gender roles benefit gay men and transgendered people, it also benefits straight men, especially adolescents. *Many high schools throw around the word “f@g,” and direct it at any boy that doesn’t meet their standards of “manliness.”* Feminism fights this by saying, “Men are men regardless of interests and regardless of career choice, and women are women regardless as well.”
—————
I think this comment lacks an understanding of what homophobia is, mistaking it for genderphobia, the later being much more common in western society. Assuming they are the same goes under the assumption that gay men and a lack of masculinity are synonymous, which is false since many are not.
In a lot of these situations the word “f*g” is swinged around just as commonly as @asswhole, and refers more to someone being a wimp or a coward rather than the person being gay. Though many middle class citizens still see this as a derogatory term towards homosexuals. Please note that gender and sexual orientation are entirely different concepts.

This same pecking order to fight for dominance is seen in the animal kingdom with packs, with males non-verbally attempting to put down other males in order to gain their alpha status. This consistent trait is probably both a combination of nature and nurture, though many social “scientists” view it as being entirely determined by nurture.

Do you agree that genderphobia (fear of gender non-conformity) is much more different than homophobia (fear/intolerance of homosexuality)?

This is an excellent observation, though I don’t agree with it fully. I think you both have a point here.

On the one hand, yes, genderphobia and homophobia are two seperate types of behaviours, but they intersect with the same systems of oppression surrounding sexual identity/ sexual orientation and gender identity.

Although homophobia (fear/intolerance of non-heteronormative behaviours and people) and genderphobia (fear/intolerance of gender non-conforming behaviours and people), for certain people these two are almost indistinguishable.

For example, a lesbian is involved with a bisexual woman. The lesbian finds out her bisexual partner is M-2-F trans, feels her sexual identity as lesbian is discredited because the partner is not a “real woman”. This is genderphobia on behalf of the lesbian who does not accept the legitimacy of the trans woman’s gender identity based on her born/assigned gender.

The same trans woman becomes involved with a man. He finds out she is “not a real woman” and says he cannot be involved with her because she is really a gay man. This is genderphobia, and homophobia intersecting. Both her identity as a woman and her identity as a woman relating to a man in this instance are being called into play here.

This same trans woman goes to a club with her friends, and is sexually assaulted by someone who repeatedly calls her a “f@ggot” during the assault. Is this homophobia or genderphobia? Both?

So, although I agree with you that genderphobia and homophobia are two distinct and seperate systems of oppression, I do agree with what this poster was saying in terms of the gender dichotomy and gender role dichotomy that they both rest upon. In theory they are both quite distinguishable, but in practice and in situ the lines tend to be a little bit more blurry, particularly for homosexually-identified people whose gender can often be called into question based on their sexual orientation, and even moreso for trans people whose sexual orientations and gender identity are called into question interchangeably on a regular basis.

In the interest of being sensitive and accepting of these situations, while recognizing the genderphobie and homophobia are different, it is essential to recognize how these systems of oppression intersect. I believe that the point here is that feminism attempts to recognize and fight both homophobia and genderphobia, as well as other forms of oppression jointly, without suggesting that they are all the same, but realizing that there are many different intersecting systems of oppression and that everyone has a different relationship to power, priviledge and oppression, based on their different identity rolesggh

I know that merely printing money will cause inflation like it is happening now in Zimbabwe. But there are a lot of rich people in this world who have more money than they will ever need. What will happen if they start distributing their wealth to the needy? Then people will start to buy things they normally would not have been able to afford.

There may not be enough money for everybody in this world, but then there may not be enought things for everybody, right? For example, not enough cars for every person on earth.

So I don’t want to know whether helping the poor is right or wrong. What I want to know is, whether it is going to affect the economy when done on a large scale?

The effect on the economy of the rich subsidizing the poor:
I suspect we see less poverty, less malnurishment, less people ding from lack of basic health care, etc.
Perhaps also, a decrease in yacht manufacturing, but increase in medical and farming jobs, not a bad trade off in my opinion.

——–

Giving out money for free without people doing anything to earn it usually discourages these people from working hard in order to support themselves. This results in decreased production of goods, rising prices, and devaluation of the money through price inflation. The poor people often end up even more poor as a result of such help.

The only kind of help that works well in the long run is one that encourages and enables the poor people to work more and better than before. Because then these people produce more goods for each other and for trade with others. And there is no natural end to their increased prosperity. It can continue indefinitely.

In my recent years and throughout the study of the human race I have found that most of the human species is naturally destructive … why is it that this is naturally so ?

It is the nature of the universe to be destructive. The universe formed from the destruction of atoms, molecules, and light. ( the big bang theory). Humans are only a tiny,tiny part of the entire universe. From chaos and destruction come order and life. Animals are destructive as their brain capacity allows them to be. They destroy plants and other animals to eat and seek shelter. You are being naive to think that trait is exclusively human.

———

you should also consider that destruction is creation. Matter doesnt vanish, it changes.

for every forest that burns a field is born

as you know one thing that human beings do is contemplate their existence

and i think people like to make changes in the world around them in a desperate attempt to do all they can to further establish their existence and in turn the validity of said existence.

its the same reason the people who dont make change go to church.

Myers-Briggs is thorough. It has helped everyone in my family understand themselves better. Another interesting one is from Gary Smalley, who has made four personality types from animals, otter, golden retriever, beaver and lion.

All crime increases during an economic downturn.

Crime rates tend to rise when consumers become pessimistic. Why? Economic theory predicts that people weigh the costs and benefits of law-abiding versus criminal behavior.

Worried consumers do not necessarily resort to street crime. But some will resort to buying stolen goods when they can no longer afford the prices at Target or Wal-Mart. As that demand increases, so does the incentive for the street criminals who supply underground markets. Other factors contribute too, but sooner or later more robberies, thefts and other crimes drive up even homicide rates.

In “I Robot” the world is run by a computer program which allocates wealth and work where needed. One of the premises of global control of resources and production is that imbalances cause war and conflict. Is there any merit to the idea, and could we ever see ‘computers’ run the show?

if we consider that there are now governments that govern over a billion people (China/ India) it is not inconceivable that there could be a government that would govern the whole earth.

If this would be the case there might not be the problem of multinationals escaping to lower wage nations and therefore not pressuring governments to cut standards for its own population.

there could be equal rights for everybody and a social security system to help low or non-earners

computers will surely play a role in such a scenario

—–

Certainly anything is possible, but as unpredictable as the human race is, it is hardly probable. Computers, at this stage of development, are still run by humans. Someday, we may develop the situation as descibed in the last comic strip of Mandrake the Magician wherein just a few people were left in the world. One group had developed plant life to the extreme with intelligent plants, etc. and the other group had developed machines to the nth degree with intelligent machines, etc. There was about to be a war between the two groups. The comic strip quit on that note never to be seen again. As long as there are human men (and women) in the world there will be competition. It is instinclive behavior. As long as there is competition, the species will survive. Without the competition, even in its most awful form, war, the human race will perish from the earth.

Seventy years of thinking, right or wrong.

1. I’m sorry for what you’ve had to go through, but, no, not all guys are jerks
2. Perhaps you need to meet some males worthy of your attention. We’re not all that way.
3. I agree that not ALL men are jerks, but it seems like all the men you have met are. You need a change of scenery girl. Get out of that hell you call “home” and you may start to meet some decent people (even guys)
4. You have a very common life.Know that your story isnt very different than than the next woman.What i say is if you always look where you always look you will always get what you get.Try newer surroundings.And good luck!
5. You tell me what makes all men in your life like this. if you can’t change them for better don’t let them change you. have a faith and try to make your life better always.

believe it or not there are some fantastic men out there, you just have to know where to look. nobody can make excuses for what has happened to you, and none of it is your fault. your brother is probably harbouring some issues though, regarding the father and step father situation, as you probably know, your father and step father would have been the role models for your brothers behaviour. this doesnt make it right though. maybe you should talk to him, him may not even know he is the way he is. you also need to talk to someone (ie a psychotherapist) about what has happened to you, if you havent already, they will help you deal with what happened as well as give you some more self confidence. as for the boys at your school, all boys are like that, and maybe making friends with some girls wouldnt be a bad idea, but be choosy, as you will probably confide in them your deepest darkest secrets. as for the guy who told you to go away, it could be that he had more on his mind thatn you know about, and he is finding it hard to deal with his problems as well as yours (he could have been a bit nicer though). you never know, he might have been the nice guy you are looking for and may care about you a hell of a lot, which then it would hurt him to see you in so much pain.
sorry about the long winded reply, but i hope i helped.

6. hang in there.youve just had one hell of a life so far.were not all assholes.i wish the best for you because more than likely your going to or probably already do have major trust issues when it is going to involve us.i wish i could of been the most recent friend of yours because what i need more than anything right now is a female friend.not trying to get a laugh from the guys.lifes a strange place.it’ll be alright.it’ll all work out.
7. Really, not all of them are jerks, but the majority are. Don’t worry you are 17 you will meet a lot of good guys. May be you need to try some time to avoid friendship with men. See what will happen, may be you need to take your time.
8. After reading your post…
   I’m sorry that you had to go through all that…
   Try joining a “support”-group, as in just a group of people coming together having some fun.
   I’m a Christian youth leader, and we have a youth programme.
   I’m sure you could probably find something somewhere that would fit you.

   By the way. I believe everything happens for a reason. Keep your chin up. Stay positive.
   If you get through this, you will be an ambassador for women who have the same problems. And perhaps you can even help them. Let that motivate you.
   But first. Help yourself. You are strong. You CAN get through this.

9. U have gone through some big difficulties! All I can say is ur plain unlucky regards to males. Hope you find a nice person soon.
