Ethnology overlaps with more specific disciplines, such as literature, economics, or religious studies. The distinctive feature of ethnology is therefore, it’s holistic approach to humanity’s culture. A culture encompassing language, rituals and interaction or communication with other members of the society or even to the other parts of the world. In ethnology, we are able to learn the different cultural norms, social structures, beliefs and various cultural patterns.
