Answer: All of the above.

  • The anthropologist should be aware of how his presence is likely to be perceived because it can have a significant impact on the results of his research. Moreover, it can present ethical issues if the subjects of study are particularly upset or uncomfortable to find the anthropologist with them.
  • Communication is one of the biggest problems when studying a different culture. It is also important to remember that communication can include social cues and gestures, not just language itself.
  • The weather can be an important concern as well. Depending on the weather, the anthropologist might need to make different arrangements, and the logistics of the trip could be altered. Also, different weather could alter the behaviour of the members of the culture that is going to be studied, and this should be accounted for.
