Anthropology

As an Anthropology Major at the University of California, San Diego, I see plenty of ethnocentric activity and sentiments on the web. People are verbally abusive towards minorities across the world in a medium where accountability is inexistent and anonymity is easy.

I can't say that I support the medium through where most of my peers talk to strangers, but I think it is always important to keep in mind that the things we say, even when we don't mean them, influence the people around us and ourselves.

With that being said, keep and open mind, be respectful (if not accepting) of others, and in all situations of doubt or uncertainty, keep your mouth shut.

I promise to post more, but keep coming back to read my backlog of 50-odd posts. None of them are as serious as this one, I promise ;)
