Anthropology, the study of humanity, is guided by a central narrative and set of research commitments. 
                                               
Anthropology aims to overcome bias by examining cultures as complex, integrated products of specific environmental and historical conditions. 
               
Anthropologists use many different research strategies in their efforts to represent people from cultures very different from their own. 
             
Anthropology explores controversial topics that may challenge individual assumptions and values. 
                                                
The goal is to understand the full experience of humanity, including elements that may seem unfamiliar or uncomfortable. 
       
Anthropology teaches a set of skills for setting aside personal perspectives and keeping an open mind while learning about the diversity of human practices and ideas. 
          
This does not mean abandoning individual personal values, but rather suspending judgment temporarily while learning to understand the perspectives of others.
