Anthropology refers to the study of humans and their lifestyle in the past or present, then analyzing the development of humans in many stages. In Richard's story, he explains how bushman people control negative thoughts like temper, arrogance, etc. According to anthropology, this story is effective in the bushman tactic of humiliation. According to Lee, R.B., (1969), the story explains that if all people understand social equality and value their thoughts openly, the barrier of intercultural would be broken. In the present time, misunderstandings and low social interaction between the countries are common, and status are calculated by money rather than by nature, behavior, or openness of the people. That's why Richard's story is very important for anthropological studies, it explains the behavior development of the bushman people. This story is the best and most effective example of anthropology.
