Anthropology is a discipline devoted to all aspects of the human interaction and human life. It is a quickly expanding field that involves a great amount of research and investigation into cultures other than our own; research is arguably the most important aspect of anthropology. In my mind, the purpose of anthropological research is to gain knowledge and understanding of other societies. This knowledge can then be used to build a more harmonious and understanding network of cultures. So why should the benefactors only be one or two groups of people? Anthropological research should be used to benefit everyone; the individual anthropologist conducting the research, the group funding or supporting the research, the society being investigated and the rest of the people throughout the world should benefit from the conduction of anthropological research.
