Well as the world has changed, the discipline of anthropology has had to adapt to political, economic and social changes that have happened in the world and especially, here in the country.
In the case of Social Anthropology, work areas and job performance are quite wide, for which the challenges for being a good professional has steadily increased.
In the case of the technological area, the career of anthropology has had to develop new programs that implement the utilization of statistical programs -SPSS- for the formation of integrated professional, not requiring the "outsourcing" of other people for the elaboration of quantitative research methodologies.

In the area of social issues, anthropology has had to evolve and adapt to the context of modern society, changing many times its object of investigation,, I mean, referring not only to the study of "exotic societies" or ethnic people -as Geertz or Malinowski-, but -as I set the Political Anthropology- develop research on problems of modern society, such as public policies on health and education.
With these new problems, the study methodologies have changed, trying this time to address groups of people on a "macro" level, to generate answers that can generalize and solve global problems that are developing in society. However, these changes have resulted in"an Anthropology" that often does not have her limits very clear.
I believe that, in despite that anthropology had lost its "identity" is necessary due to "disciplinary context" that this discipline uses supplementary tools that social sciences can deliver. For example, the sociological approach within anthropology is a good complement to the social and cultural analysis of certain patterns of behavior - regarding such an issue-contingent in Chile- the theme of "public safety" as part of public policy of the country and even in a global level.
The importance of these challenges and improvements that have appeared, I think that are trying to give to the labor area a “concrete anthropology”.
It's a long hard road and we as students have a lot to do, however, must be done if we want to be good professionals in this new context both locally and globally.
