How can Sociology and Anthropology help us to be a better person?

Anthropology studies individual human behavior, while sociology studies group behavior and its relationships with social systems and groups.

Sociology and Anthropology teach students how to challenge people's beliefs and debunk myths. What one learns in sociology and anthropology enables them to lead others to understand better and develop their own lives.

One can understand where their opinions came from, why they respond in specific ways to situations, the advantages and disadvantages of the context in which they act, and why and how they adapt to certain norms but not others. They learn to see themselves as actors whose positions are influenced by their social environment. It is also critical to appreciate that one should not take all that one sees and listens for granted. People must be confronted and understood objectively and rationally rather than emotionally.

Possible benefits from learning Sociology and anthropology:

Realization of own biasness and prejudices

Sociology and Anthropology challenge students to see the world in ways they may not have been taught before. It means acknowledging your own "cultural lens" and admitting that you think the way you do things is correct only because someone you trust told you so. Other people around the world, who aren't the same as you, feel they're suitable for the same reason.

As a result, one tries not to make rash decisions in any situation. It can be beneficial because they are more open to broadening their horizons and understanding why others think the way they do. However, this is useful in their professional lives because many people in the real world don't know how to deal with people who aren't as them.

 Cultures its effect and changes

Culture is a living entity that is continually evolving. However, by exploring society and how things change, you should find why people can or will not accept a change. Culture change has an approach in general, and it is unique to each group. It seems intuitive, but in real-world practice, change is often forced upon individuals and cannot change in a long-term and successful manner because many people do not understand this.

Gain knowledge about people, society at large

It's phenomenal how many people question the need to understand human behavior, motives, etc. Everything a person does is motivated by what it means to be human. Having a way to comprehend that, on any level, will significantly strengthen your ability to know yourself, what you want, connect to others, make a change, lead, and so on. Sociology and Anthropology are broad disciplines to learn about everything (biology, engineering, medicine, language, history, economics).
