Final answer:

Anthropology is useful for understanding and working with people from different cultural backgrounds in a globalized world.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anthropology is useful in a world where people from different cultural backgrounds come into contact for extended periods of time. Anthropology teaches us that although we may never fully understand how it feels to be a member of a different culture, we must make an effort to work together with people of different backgrounds to solve global issues. Anthropologists use long-term fieldwork and cross-cultural collaboration to begin the process of understanding and fostering empathy and dialogue. By studying human culture and biology, anthropology can also improve lives today and promote cultural diversity and creativity.
