MALE SPEAKER: Look at
yourself in a mirror.
What do you see?
Now look around you.
What do you see?
We're all different.
And so is our environment
and how we perceive it.
Anthropology is the study
of this human diversity
and offers unique perspectives on
current world issues around us.
In this course, we'll explore
some of these with you.
In Malaysia, we'll
discover what daily life
is like for asylum-seekers and refugees.
In Cuba, we will find out about
popular culture and consumption
in a post-socialist
society and transition.
In Outback Australia, we will
find out about the relationship
between indigenous and
non-indigenous people
and their relationship to the land.
In Chile in the At
Atacama Desert, we will
explore how indigenous people
deal with water scarcity.
In the United States, we will
question whether another world really
is possible in relation
to the Occupy Movement.
But first, let us reflect on
wherever we call home and ask
some difficult and serious questions
about ourselves, the way we think,
act, and see the world around us.
This is Anthropology of
Current World Issues.
Launching this September.
