Anne Fadiman and Joshua Reno both work to build relationships with the people they study through participant observation to gain trust and get an inside look into their social and cultural worlds.…

    My educational base as a junior at Dartmouth College has taught me to understand specific events or issues through a multifaceted lens. I believe this comprehensive viewpoint is important because to analyze isolated incidents, one needs to consider the environment and background that created such incidents. My studies in cultural anthropology and international politics have familiarized me with the complex nature of cross-cultural cooperation and political relations, both of which must be considered when working within a country on behalf of the US government. For the European and Eurasian Affairs Bureau, I would consider past and current events’ effects on emergent social and political issues and refer to my living experience in Russia in…

    People have a tendency to learn different things for different reasons. Some individuals plan on becoming ballerinas and therefore must have knowledge on how to become more flexible and a basic understanding of motion to complete the stunts they do; however, for a person to become a professional photographer, the basis of knowledge has to be different. This goes for all professions. Although rugby and football appear similar, they each require some skill set or knowledge that the other has no use for.

Wright Mills (as cited by Rogers, 2016) created the term sociological imagination, which is an important aspect of the socio-cultural lens, “to describe the relationship between the individual and the wider society” (p.106).

Rogers (2016) mentions that “There is no universally accepted definition of culture; culture can mean different things to different people. In fact, definitions vary depending on the discipline and theory from which they originate” (p. 130).…
