More specifically: 1. To become familiar with an anthropological way of understanding the world 2. To gain an enhanced conceptual understanding of “culture” 3. To examine the processes bringing about cultural change 4. To acquire knowledge of the multiplicity of cultural systems 5. To reflect upon the nature of one’s own culture 6.
