I think that this subject is very uninteresting and boring. I suggest that you change it for the next year, dear reader.

I like challenges and to issue those challenges to win the fucking soccer game of life. Anthropology is a challenge that lasts almost 90 minutes and that we have to face hardly through science and with bravery, courage, audacity, valor and faith.

Actually, Social Anthropology needs complex statistical computer software to process and to analyze qualitative and quantitative data. The technology challenge is then, the problem of buying fucking expensive licenses. The most used statistical software in Anthropology is SPSS, a very useful program because it can develop functional correlations and co variances between sociocultural variables. Nevertheless its license is very expensive, so it’s very difficult to use it in a “legal way” (we can use it a legal way however, at the university for example). I think that we can resolve that by using illegal licenses (crack software are very easy to look in the web) or by developing free software as Linux software do.

The principal challenge in social matters is that in our country the little State’s bottoms are not destined to Social Sciences studies. Therefore, the studies that anthropologist can do are very limited by the economics resources. I think that we can solve this problem through doing a nuclear war and destroying capitalism and globalization. On the other hand, in Anthropology we have the political problem of the cultural relativism and ethnocentrism. Consequently, we have the challenge of trying to explain the causes of certain sociocultural phenomenon with the purpose of helping involved sociocultural agents, and not to make “worse” its material and immaterial situation.

The principal challenge in education is that we have many bad classes or done by professors that don’t know about pedagogy. Sometimes I think, and also other friends of anthropology, that our education “is like shit”. I can say that our curricular program is much disorganized and unsystematic, so I think that we have to complain and to fight to improve our fucking education through violent actions.


Kisses, peace and love.
