Anthorpology´s challenges

Well dear Anthropology I think that you have to face lots and lots of challenges specially here in Chile, because you have been let out of the biggest and important disciplines that´s why you haven´t got all the money and projects that you need to buy all the technology you need, such as better video cameras, and things as that, in archeology you need better laboratories, you need to take advantage from the new technology like infrared rays and things like that, I think that you should try to convince the government to give you special money, each year, so that you don´t have to compete against other projects that hasn´t got nothing to do with you.
About social matters I think you have even bigger challengers because your job is to work with people but at this moment it doesn´t seem so, because you are involve in discussion about your theories, questioning yourself if culture does or doesn´t exist, but you are forgetting about the people about the needs that they have about your real vocation. You have forgotten what is to go out and do fieldwork, which in my opinion is one of the more important works from anthropologist because there is where you are in contact with people. I think that you should improve your social conscience and to realize that now days natives are disappearing and you will have to study other kinds of people but not only study them, you will have to help them.
To do this I think that the first thing you will have to do is to change the education that you are giving to the students, you will have to teach them that all of the persons are equal. Then you will have to teach them how to do field work and take them out to the real world where neither Lévi-Strauss nor Malinowski will be, so they can learn by themselves and practice, so that when they finish their studies they won’t be totals looser on the field work and will know which are the people needs.

I think these are the challenges that you have to face now days!!!

Take care all of you!! C ya!
