Why Applied Anthropology? (Gerald Berreman Quote) - Answer-"Science permits
others in society less reticent, perhaps less scrupulous, almost certainly less informed,
to make their own use of the [anthropological] material presented. It leaves politicians
and journalists, to entrepreneurs, scoundrels and madmen, as well as to statesmen and
benefactors—but especially to the powerful—the interpretation and manipulation of
matters about which they frequently know little, and of whose implications they know
less, and nearly always far less than those who collected the material or made the
analysis."

Applied - Answer-Anthropologists who do practical projects but who are generally
employed in academia.
