Conversation between a student and her professor.
Hi, professor Anderson, can I talk to you for a minute? Sure. Uh, you’re in my introduction to anthropology class, right? Sorry. I don’t have all the names yet. You’re dear. I’m in the intro class. I’m Kate Miller. See, I’m really busy this semester busier than I thought i’d be. And well, I just don’t think I have time for your course, so I wanna drop it. Well, I’m sorry to hear that. Kate, are you sure about this? Yeah, I think so.
What’s happened is a couple of my other classes look like they’re going to be a lot more work than I expected. So I just, there’s no problem with the class itself. No, not really. I mean, i’ve enjoyed the class so far, your lectures and all. But something has to give and the class isn’t really related to my major. You know what I wanna do? What is your major computer science Information systems actually not much use for anthropology there?
Well, a few years ago you’d have been right. But today lots of companies are hiring people with a wider variety of backgrounds, like in anthropology, especially software and Information technology companies. More and more businesses doing work all over the globe. It seems companies have discovered that hiring people who kept notes help them develop a multicultural perspective.
It’s a smart business move in. Never thought about it that way. But I’m only taking one course not majoring in the field. I mean, how can one anthropology class help me? Right. Ok. Think about this. Information technology is a highly globalized industry. Wherever you end up working large companies, small company doesn’t matter.
You’ll have colleagues and clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds. An anthropology class will give you insight into the rules that determine how relationships work. In other cultures. But it doesn’t sound like we’ll be covering that in this class, at least not from what we’ve read so far. No, that would be covered in other courses.
Like of course, I teach called anthropology for international business. In that class, we look at how cultural assumptions about family or world view impact on business, the way it’s organized, how it functions, and we look at intercultural communications and keep those running smoothly.
Well, that sounds interesting, but I’m made okay. For example, if you’re interviewing in a company that has international clients and offices around the world, isn’t it likely that, um, if you’ve taken an anthropology class or two, you’d be a more interesting prospect than someone who hasn’t everything else being equal.
You’re talking about a competitive edge. Reminds me of something my dad said about taking courses in different fields. In any case, I I think I’m still gonna drop the class. But that anthropology for international business class does sound interesting.
