QUESTION 1: As a child, you probably did not say you wanted to be an  anthropologist when you grew up. Nonetheless, this course has probably  influenced your understanding of what anthropologists do and how  anthropology can be applied in our everyday lives. This discussion  offers you the opportunity to share your insights.

To prepare for your initial post, review the “Areas of Anthropological Study” section on the Careers in Anthropology  page from the American Anthropological Association. Choose two of the  ways anthropologists are working outside of an academic context. In your  initial post, be sure to do the following:

• Identify which two types of nonacademic work you selected.
• State why you selected these two work environments. (What stood out to you about how anthropology is used in this context?)
• Explain what an anthropologist does in each of the work environments you chose.
• Reflect on how you will apply what you have learned in this course  to your everyday observations and interactions, using specific examples  to help your peers understand.

QUESTION 2 : In these last two modules, you looked at different scientific  communications about the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and submitted (or  will soon submit) your presentation. In your post, explain any  challenges you encountered in adapting your presentation for your  specific audience. Did you find any of the scientific communications you  studied or used in this course helpful when tailoring your message to  your audience?
