Anthropology’s curse!

As a business management graduate I was trained to think in bullet points and that even most complex issues could be sorted out using cost benefit or swot analysis. I was always intrigued by social sciences, especially anthropology. I used to wonder how it would be to see the world with anthropological lenses. And now the damage is done. I used to decipher problems bit by bit. But now I try to look at the whole entire picture that overwhelms me and makes my world very complex. En plus I cringe to narrate discussions and interviews in third person because the whole time I am thinking was I objective enough, did the discussion get biased because of the power I have as a researcher over the respondent, did the process verge on being unethical, or was it truly consensual….I did learn new ways of seeing and interpreting things with anthropology…..what I complain is about that anthropology did not teach me how to unravel the mess!
