What does it mean to be a New Zealander and a citizen of the world? What is the importance of ethnicity
in the 21st century? How are social networking websites changing human relationships? What makes
people decide to live on the streets? These are the kinds of questions that studies in Cultural Anthropology
and Sociology ask and seek to answer. The anthropological and sociological mind is forever curious about
why people behave in the ways they do; as peoples from different cultures move around the world living,
working and trading together, so the need to understand each other increases. Because of their in-depth and
broad understandings of human social behaviour anthropologists and sociologists are in a position to advise
on many issues that confront countries and companies the world over.
