My name is Jacob Barrera. I’m a 23 year old anthropology grad with a wide variety of interests, utilizing this space to contribute my perspective on issues I find vital to address.
After graduating with a degree in anthropology, I felt as if there was no place for me in the system to directly jump into. Not wanting to pursue a tedious and constricting career in academia, I began pursuing other options but quickly realized that they are scant. In a world where the internet can both entrap and free us, I was hesitant to pursue a career based online. However, realized I must accept this new digital age, and now I embrace it.
Utilizing my understanding of anthropology, depth psychology, religion, and literature, I attempt to highlight issues that are pertinent both to society in general and to Gen Z specifically, as the latter I am acutely aware of being a member of the controversial generation myself. Perhaps you will find something of use in these articles and the subsequent videos that will follow.
“Then you will understand what is right and just and fair - every good path. For Wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to you soul.
Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse, who have left the straight paths to walk in dark ways”
