Conclusion: Through this entire course learned that humans are very complex beings, not just physically but socially and emotionally. Culture and people are two very related concepts, because we create the strings that forms culture and society but at the same time we are attached to them, there is a mutual relationship. Anthropology is a very complicated study because at the end we all are different but there are some common characteristics that define us and we take parts from others to create our own identity. Sometimes it was a little difficult to understand some concepts or theories because its complexity but there were just trying to explains what we are, how we interact and understand all the aspects in human life.
                                                                                                                                1. With all those news reports and documents that we read in class, that were a very interesting dynamic because at the same time you relate the topics with the reading but learn what is happening outside our little environment, I understand that sometimes we don’t realize or know what is happening in other parts of the country or in the world, because there are some other “important” news for the tv programs or they just don’t want you to know about them but is very important to be informed. I did realize that everything we watch affects us, even if we don’t want to, this learning modifies the culture for good or bad, therefore we are constantly changing.
                                                                                                                                  1. Maybe studying anthropology sometimes may be overwhelming for some people, but is important to know our history in order to know where we come from, who we are nowadays, and where we are going.
