Anthropology Department presents the hidden social costs of OC
On Monday, Nov. 5 through Thursday, Nov. 8 students can learn more about the social costs of living in Orange County thorugh the Ethnic Studies Program, a division of the Anthropology department at Saddleback College.
Anthropology investigates the biological and cultural life of human beings in all times and places. Students learn to appreciate other ways of life including various belief systems and knowledge.
At Saddleback College, students learn about four fields of anthropological discipline: cultural, archaeology, linguistic and biological. There is also an emphasis on study of contemporary issues such as social mvoements, human rights and political conflict.
