Consider a membership in Alpha Kappa Delta. Alpha Kappa Delta is the International Sociology Honor Society, founded in 1920, and designed to promote an interest in the study of sociology, research of social problems, and such other social and intellectual activities as will lead to improvement in the human condition. The society is open to sociology majors of junior standing who have a 3.0 overall grade point average and a 3.0 GPA in sociology. The international society publishes Sociological Inquiry quarterly. There are two great reasons why studying anthropology should be considered by undergraduate and master's students.
Anthropology is the study of human behavior.
That exploration of what it means to be human ranges from the study of culture and social relations, to human biology and evolution, to languages, to music, art and architecture, and to vestiges of human habitation. It considers such fascinating questions as how peoples' behavior changes over time, how people move about the world, why and how people from distant parts of the world and dissimilar cultures are different and the same, how the human species has evolved over millions of years, and how individuals understand and operate successfully in distinct cultural settings. Each of the four fields teaches distinctive skills, such as applying theories, employing research methodologies, formulating and testing hypotheses, and developing extensive sets of data. Careful record-keeping, attention to details, analytical reading, and clear thinking are taught by anthropological courses. Social ease in strange situations, critical thinking, and strong skills in oral and written expression are cultivated by anthropological training.
