Anthropology is the study of humans and culture, and, as such, it has an implicit global perspective. Everyone is a global citizen- one can hardly\u00a0go to the corner store\u00a0without participating in the global economy- and\u00a0each person has a unique translation of\u00a0their global citizenship into their daily lives. For me, I find my greatest global connections through\u00a0anthropology. As a result of my family background, I was predisposed to be interested in the world outside my backyard from a young age. I grew up amidst an eclectic mix of people, food, music, and stories, filling me with a desire to travel and bring back stories of my own. This is exactly what I found at the University of Richmond, and my academic study of anthropology gave me a unique lens through which I could\u00a0examine the people and culture of places that\u00a0the university allowed me to explore. My fascination for culture continues to grow, and I plan to integrate it into whichever\u00a0future career awaits me, for anthropology sharpens my ability to analyze not only the world around me, but also how the world influences me on a personal level, particularly in my role as a global citizen.<\/p>\n
