Hi, my name is Renelle Kissoon
and this is my Anthropology video presentation.
For this assignment we were required to actually
go out into the field and explore the livelihoods of
our participants through interactions.
I must say this was quite enjoyable
as it was different from the basic, everyday
in the bedroom, on your laptop assignments.
For my project, in particular,
I went out to the sea, to the beachfront,
to explore the livelihoods of fishermen in my rural fishing village of Mayaro.
This anthropology project has enabled me to
be more open-minded towards persons
in different situations.
I no longer believe the stereotype
that fishermen are those who dropped out of school.
I now believe fishing in Mayaro
is a culture.
I also strongly believe that
more persons should be enrolled in this course
in an attempt to create a less judmental society.
