Cultural Anthropology is a branch of anthropology that focuses on the study of cultural variations among humans. It examines social practices, beliefs, and values within different societies, aiming to understand how culture shapes human behavior and social structures. Cultural anthropologists often engage in fieldwork, immersing themselves in communities to gather qualitative data through participant observation and interviews.
This discipline also explores the impact of globalization and technology on cultural practices. By analyzing rituals, traditions, and everyday life, cultural anthropologists contribute to a deeper understanding of human diversity and the complexities of cultural identity in a rapidly changing world.
