Why Study Anthropology

If you think anthropology is limited to the study of stones and old bones, think again! Though anthropology does look at stones and bones, it also examines the politics, medicine, kinship, art and religion of various peoples and times. This makes the study of anthropology a complex task, for it requires an understanding of the basics of numerous disciplines such as geology, biology, art and psychology.

Regardless of the specific area being studied, the essence of anthropology is in the observation of different peoples and cultures-studying them as they really are instead of how you think they should or should not behave. It is only through this detailed study of all people that we gain the full picture of what it really is to be human.

Anthropology tries to bring the world's peoples into human focus. Anthropologists don't come up with a theory and see if people live up to it. They live with people and see what they do.

Careers for Anthropology Majors

While graduates of anthropology traditionally have found careers in museums, or teaching at the high school or college level, other possible career opportunities are emerging today. Because of a growing emphasis on Third World countries, international trade, and the changing international climate, businesses, governmental organizations and NGOs are interested in employees who have knowledge about foreign countries and cultures. This new international emphasis also makes anthropology a versatile double major-possibly for a business or economics student who is interested in international trade, or for anyone who plans to live or work in a foreign country.

Graduates of anthropological studies are also in demand for projects of historical preservation, or as industrial anthropologists to study a company's structure and its people. Additional information on career opportunities is available from the anthropology department.

Additional Opportunities for Anthropology Majors

Anthropology Laboratory

The departmental lab emphasizes archaeological teaching and provides an excellent opportunity for students to apply scientific methods of hypothesis testing in the context of the social sciences. Among the goals of the program are to teach archaeological recording techniques, to develop an understanding of the procedures and mastery of the techniques of specific scientific instruments, and to familiarize students with the analysis of artifactual and paleoenvironmental data.

Summer Archaeological Field School

The anthropology department periodically offers a local archaeological field school during the summer months so that students can gain experience doing archaeological excavation and/or survey. There really is no substitute for being exposed to the excitement and routine of real-world archaeological field work!

Anthropology Club

Anthropology students meet on a regular basis to share their interests and to expand their knowledge of diverse peoples and cultures. Activities of the club include visits to museums, movies, lectures, and travel to local archaeological sites.

J-Term Courses Off Campus

In recent years courses have been taught on the Makah reservation, and in Mexico. These courses, and others now in the planning stages, offer students the opportunity to learn first-hand from experts about their own and other cultures.

Major Fields

Anthropology at PLU is composed of four fields:

Cultural anthropology studies living human cultures in order to create a cross-cultural understanding of human behavior.

Archaeology has the same goal as cultural anthropology, but uses data from the physical remains of past cultures to reach it.

Linguistic anthropology studies the interrelationships between language and other aspects of culture and how languages have changed over time.

Physical anthropology studies the emergence and subsequent biological adaptations of humanity as a species.

Course Requirements

Major: 36 semester hours, including 101 or 104, 102, 103, 480, 499; one course from those numbered 330-345; one course from those numbered 350-465; and eight additional hours.

Extending a public apology is not very different from delivering a private one-the ingredients of any effective apology remain the same. The only real difference is that some of these apologies can become famous in their own right, or make others infamous for screwing up.

A public apology delivered by celebrities and other well-known figures in the news and popular culture has an uncanny way of reminding us that 'to err' really is human. It really doesn't matter who you are, at some point anyone can find themselves in the doghouse for something they said or did.

This section of the site will explore, comment on, and review some of the best and worst public apologies ever delivered so that we may all gain a better understand of what to do and more importantly what NOT to do.

Public apologies know no boundaries. They extend from the Vatican, to the US Senate, to sports icons, corporations, Hollywood, and beyond.

Whether these apologies succeed or fail, a great deal can be learned from them, because they often provide great insight into the art of delivering the perfect apology.

For example, in a review of a public apology delivered by John Kerry we learn how not extending a complete apology from the outset can create more damage and hurt than the original offence.

In an article on Political Apologies & American Democracy we learn how a misstatement can sometimes gain momentum of its own and overshadow good intentions.

In a commentary by Peter F. Goolpacy, he asks Where are the Duke Apologies? following the debacle of three Duke University lacrosse students falsely accused of rape.

We also learn why Don Imus' apology for insulting the Rutgers University Women's Basketball team (and the public at large) was doomed to fail.

We also cover The Perfect Terrible Apology: A Case Study of David Shuster and MSNBC after Shuster posed an inappropriate (and offensive) question regarding Chelsea Clinton's role in her mother's campaign during an on-air political discussion.

On the flip side, we take a look at David Neeleman's Jetblue Apology (which, in both its execution and delivery) is as close as one can get to crafting the perfect business apology.

In our never ending pursuit of the perfect public apology, we review some other noteworthy mea culpas in the following case studies:

By examining cases of how public figures succeed and/or fail to apologize we can better understand our own chances of being forgiven.

Given the sorry state of public apologies, even the media is sometimes interested in figuring out what's going on. Read a Q & A session we had a few years back with a reporter from the Sacramento Bee on apologies in the media.

As apologies continue to get media coverage, we are getting more and more requests for our take on things and why the American public in particular is so interested in these mea culpas-and given Toyota's woes in recent years, corporate apologies in particular.

Read our business apology case studies which includes a full review of the Toyota apology.

The fact that people in the public eye have well paid publicists supported by huge public relations firms makes their apologies so fascinating to witness and study. If these people can't deliver a proper apology (or public apology) then what hope is there for the rest of us?

What we've learned through all of this is that even large Public Relations firms can screw up by missing the point and by overlooking the straightforward strategies we've outlined on this site.
For some light-hearted insights into the public apology approaches most commonly used by celebrities and other well known individuals, take a look at this article from the National Post.
Finally, take a look at a complete listing of quotes for Bill Clinton's public apologies following the Monica Lewinsky affair back in the late 90's.

Check back often for interesting reviews of famous apologies and learn what they can teach us about apologizing more effectively.

What is a Zoologist?
A zoologist is a person who studies all the things about animals like- their behaviour, genetic, origin, development of species and health. They can be called as life scientists. Some of them work at zoo, participating in the direct care of animals. They also help to develop educational materials for zoo staff or visitors. It is not necessary that zoologist will work outside with animals. Sometimes they work in laboratory and study certain biological aspects of animals. Some of them work as professors at universities or college and teach the entire subject. A person can become a zoologist if he has a love for animals. Their main job is to observe animals carefully that can prove a time consuming process. So being patient is the most important requirement for this field.

There are different types of zoologists: -

Mammalogist: - who studies about mammals

Entomologist: - who studies about insects

Ornithologist: - who studies about birds

Herpetologist: - who studies about reptiles

Ichthyologist: -who studies about fishes

Possible job duties of a zoologist: -

Observe the health of animals and make recovery plans for them.

Get involved in conversations with public about wildlife.

Arrange and supervise experimental studies.
