Anthropologist working in this field look at how certain health conditions affect different populations and work with the more social aspect of health. Our book discusses some of the health issues seen in tribal populations in South America, where some groups have life expectancies as much as twenty years less than the South American average. Noticing these inequalities in health was only the first step of these anthropologists work. They worked to create a solution to improve the quality of health in these areas with a three step plan. This plan included further study to determine the biggest issues, research on the known solutions to those issues, and finally working with agencies in charge of the health programs to implement solutions. Personally, if I knew I wanted to go into anthropology, I think that this is the career I would chose, as I feel working with it would allow me to do something I would enjoy while having a positive impact on other
