Essays and interdisciplinarity

They say it’s always good to contextualize your essays and relate them to a larger theme that is relevant to the universe. While writing my essay I found an overwhelming urge to consider mentioning anthropology in the conclusion. Interdisciplinarity continues to creep its way into my life.

The thesis of my essay is observation and the effects it has on the observer rather than the observed. Observation is typically used in Anthropology in the form of ethnography. The anthropologist must submerge themselves into the culture completely to even get close to understanding it. The problem is that this feels so irrelevant to my essay and every time I try to write it it feels unnatural. My end result is a bunch of different conclusions that go various different ways and in actuality getting nowhere with my essay.
