Anthropology is the scientific study of man.  We see lot of problems in life and some of them can be solved with the knowledge of anthropology.  We find people face problems and we all experience the number of vehicle is more and pollution is increasing.  Let us try to think of  the solution of the problems in the following way:

1. Bus seat:  Bus seats in private buses are short in width and the seats in the rows have spacing which makes it difficult for a man to sit.  Even two persons cannot comfortably sit.  With the help of anthropometry, we can solve this problem.  We take a survey of the measurements of the people’s thigh and their average height, so that the roof of the bus can be of a good height also.
2. Computer related work stress:  The work stress increases when we sit for long hours in front of a computer monitor.  So we need the knowledge here of  the minimum distance our eye should be placed from the computer screen and the antiglare monitor should be used for the back office and IT jobs involving long hours.
3. Slum dwellers and hawkers on the pavement:  The politicians do not want to mess with these people as they know that disturbing them will affect their vote bank.  But here social worker and anthropologist can play role and government can do something by moving them to a place far off the city where there will be no hindrance.  The government should give them jobs of what they are suitable.
4. Eradicating poverty and making people productive.  We need a counseling unit or center at every educational institution.  The primary work of these counselors will be to guide the students to the careers that will suit where they have the aptitude.  It is important for “YOU” to get your right career, otherwise career improvement will be rather too slow to meet your expectations and as a result you will be frustrated.  So the best thing is to chalk out a solution and do the best you can with your set of skills. 
5. Interacting with people at workplace:  The office is a place where a large number of people from different backgrounds come and work together.  Productivity can be increased in the following way:

a)      Identifying the employee’s potential, his work capacity, etc.

b)      Solution of the day-to-day problems.

c)      Giving benefits to employees and perks for added productivity.

6.      Television watching and its impact:  Watching television for long hours or in   front of monitor can cause eye strain and neck strain.  It can cause stiffness in the shoulder.  Watching a horror movie has its impact on mind, making mind agitated and  you are unable to sleep.  On the contrary, watching Mr. Bean, a humorous character making you laugh will give you a good sleep.  To tell the truth, I have seen that after watching a humorous movie, I slept well and far better than the other days.  So what you have to do is to see what is good for the mind and “feed” it in that way!

I may have highlighted some of them but you can think and add more and make your life a far better place to live.  Anthropology is a subject which can be studied by all.  You can understand your life better by gaining some knowledge of anthropology just by searching the internet and reading a few good books.
