University of California, San Diego
International Studies - Anthropology B.A.

Technology and the forces of cultural and economic integration appear to reduce the distances between societies, which now impinge on one another on many dimensions. At the same time, ethnic, religious, and economic conflicts erupt within and between societies, often in violent form. Both the proximity of other societies and the remaining divides within and between them demand a better understanding of their cultures and institutions. Societies cannot be understood in isolation or at a single point in time, however; they are shaped by global and regional environments - political, military, economic, cultural - and their pasts. Individuals and societies in turn shape those environments as they reinterpret their histories
