- What is cultural anthropology? Before beginning as a college student, I had no idea what cultural anthropology was. In this video, I will explain cultural anthropology and everything that comes with it. From career opportunities to my opinions as a student, in this video you will get it all. Simply put, cultural anthropology is the study of living cultures. I hope you enjoy the video and don't hesitate to ask me any questions in the comment section!
Who am I? My name is Alivia Brown and I am currently an undergraduate Anthropology student at UCLA on a mission to find a career that I love. My major does not have a straight forward "path" as many would say and I am not only determined to prove that I can be successful in my major but also demonstrate my ability to find a career that brings me joy. This is my journey to expanding my global and anthropological knowledge. This is my journey to finding the best career I can. This is my journey to finding happiness. This is my journey to success.

Cultural anthropology seems so interesting!
It absolutely is! Such an amazing field
Hei Alivia, your videos are fantastic! thanks for taking the time🙏 at the moment I am considering a master either in cultural anthropology or sociology and I found your video whilst looking for insights:) thank you!
I really like your examples and links of books, etnographies and studies you explain on your videos, keep going! Thanks!
I am so happy to hear this!! Thank you so much and I will!
Thank you so much for making these videos. Your energy makes me excited about anthropology:)
Aw of course!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤
Of course!
Cultural anthropology senior major here! Loved your video
No way! That means so much especially from a cultural anthropology student. 1 year to go, we got this!
Alivia, that was a very clear and interesting explanation of Cultural Anthropology!
That is so kind, thank you!!
I'm coming here from today's video. Somehow TH-cam chose this one to recommend and I really enjoyed watching it. I'm truly into the last quote about diversity. It's amazing that we can actually study it so deeply nowadays. It reminded me of how we talked about the last names in different countries, while I was teaching. Well, let me share a piece of discussion. In my country, we add -ova, -ov, ev, -eva to the ending of the last name and your last name can be different from your parents'. Why? Well to pay respect to the grandfather from father's side. So my last name is different from my parents and siblings. And it used to be some kind of fashionable trend two decades ago. Some families still use it, tho. Moreover, our father's names are written in all the documents. It goes like this 1. family name (+ov(a)) 2. first name 3. father's name (+oğli/+qizi). Before the Russian empire made colonies here, we didn't even used to have family names only father's and grandfather's. And even tho I'm keen on forensic anthropology, seems like I'll have to dive into cultural anthropology too.
Thank you so much for you good explanation..
Of course!!
Appreciate this!
I'm so glad!!
All around great video!
This sounds really interesting. I am going to he a freshman this year majoring in Anthropology, and this could be something to focus on.
This is AMAZING! When I was a freshman taking anthropology courses, I felt like my mind had opened to a whole new world of possibilities. I love hearing from fellow anthropology students and I hope you love it as much as I do!
Currently taking anthropology as an elective because it sounded interesting. I was not prepared for all the readings and essays 😩 thank you for simplifying topics in your videos!
I know right?! So much reading and so many essays! So glad to hear these videos have been helpful-that's my goal!
I’m taking Human Evolution (Anthro 1 I think) this summer through summer sessions. Super excited but nervous since it will be my first college class!
Jack, that's so exciting! Anthro 1 is the class that confirmed my interest in anthropology (as soon as I finished it I declared my major). Who is your professor? I had Dr. Fessler but I know some of the other profs are great too. Good luck and let me know if you need any help on anything!
Am so happy to have found your channel while working on a term paper 😭 I really love how you explain stuff 🥺 I hope you'd get to talk about Economic Anthropology too, I kinda find it confusing huhu
Hi! This is so sweet, I am so glad! And economic anthropology has been on my list for a while now. I think this was the push I needed to finally do it!
@@AliviaBrown aaaa yes please, and do take all the time you need! for now, I'll be binge watching your previous videos while I power through this semester 😭😭😭
@@hellotothem I will!! And you got this!
Thank you!
Of course!
I might major in that😢 I am a high school student from Shanghai. Thank you for sharing that ❤❤
Interesting
Salins work and Mintz as well blur the line on the idea of living culture being the key. You could make the point that Mary Douglas does as well. Cultural Anthropology is breaking down so many silos that it is more of a vibe or approach (that pushes back against ethnocentrism) instead of an traditional 19th or 20th discipline at times.
Interesting, thank you for sharing!
Hi Alivia, I just watched this video and it was really insightful. I have a bachelor's degree in international business and economics and I’m considering doing a Master's in Anthropology and Sociology. I'm really interested in the humanities side of things and hoping that I will be able to work for an NGO (such as UN, WHO, UNICEF, etc.) in the future. Please share with me your thoughts, if any. :)
I'm so happy to hear that! Part of my current job is actually working for a non profit and I really believe studying anthropology helped me get there. Definitely trust your gut, but I have really loved the opportunity to study anthropology!
Love from SriLanka.
I have been studying English and American literatures. I want to study cultural anthropology as well. Which books should I read as a beginner?
Can you slowly list the different types of cultural anthropology I did hear you say participant observation 😊
Thank you so much but where I can find something about speech community, speech event, and related aspects may be in your channel because I search but I did not get it
Hello! I actually do not have many videos up on linguistics/linguistic anthropology but that is something I plan on increasing in the future. If you have ant specific recs, let me know so I can add them to my list!
Is it weird that I am using this for worldbuilding?
I have too to take this class next term with SNHU just wondering what the class is like I already took intro to anthropology and made a good grade.
I hope you enjoy it, I find cultural anthropology really interesting :)
@@AliviaBrown update just wrote my final paper with SNHU with this class really enjoyed this class so far wasn't to easy but it was fun i got an A so far
Canada 🇨🇦 is the most diverse country in the world 🌎 you can find people from different backgrounds and cultures.
Hey imma study cultural anthropology and development sociology bachelor's because I'm ready interested in it ..what master do you recommend so that I can persue a career that makes good money as well?
Hi, that is awesome! I think more than anything, the masters depends on what jobs you would like to pursue. Do you have any idea what jobs you are interested in?
@@AliviaBrown thanks for the quick reply! Yeah I would like to work for an NGO or as a HR
Did you read children of sanchez and if yes what are you thoughts about it?
I have not!! What is it about?
@@AliviaBrown it’s a study about poverty conducted by anthropologist oscar Lewis
In the slums of mexico and tells the story of sanchez and his family growing up and facing adversity and poverty and so much more
It’s a beautiful sad intense book, and it’s written like a novel
@@Adib_.95 Wow, I need to get a copy. Thank you!
I am studying about cultural anthropology
But as a second language person, I find it is harder for me.
How amazing that this is what you have chosen to study. Hopefully it is something that gets easier with time!
Hello ! Have you ever heard of the show Bones ? One of the main characters in a anthropologist!
I have actually! I've only seen a few episodes but I would love to get into it. I'm not sure what streaming platform it is on but I'll add it to my list :)
The last statement of the video(personalistic view).... Lady you said it right!!!! Louder please....that is exactly what i think all the countries' education system needs to catch up on
Aw, thank you!!!
Is cultural anthropology the same as sociocultural one?
Hi! In many ways cultural and sociocultural anthropology are quite similar. However, what they each focus on is slightly different! Sociocultural anthropology looks more closely at social institutions while cultural anthropology has an emphasis on cultures. I hope this helps!
@@AliviaBrown thank you so much for replying this fast!💗 yes it helps 👍
Of course! So glad!
I already learned cultural anthropology in third grade🎉😂😢😊
That’s awesome!
There are not many cultures such as Tiktok, digital media etc.. The American culture for example, as other culture contain behaviors like digital, social media, TV . But these behaviors are within a culture. They become part of it. A culture is based on 4 major principles. Religion, family, money, and government. Some have a mix of these, others are are focused on one or two principles.
I love you
Please can I have your email?
Of course! It is in the "about" tab!
