About a decade ago, I graduated with a bachelor's in anthropology (and linguistics). For this project, I am finally revisiting many of my old readings and textbooks for the first time. As I go through these, I see several key things I want to highlight about the field.

The concept of culture within the social sciences has had many definitions. At its core, culture refers to shared beliefs, customs, language, and values. We share our culture via our food, clothes, the tools we use, the objects we produce, the art we create, and the stories we tell.

I encountered this quote when going through an anthropology textbook:

"It is often said that the aim of anthropology is to make the strange familiar and the familiar strange."
