Hello friends! This time I will speak to you about titled news: Mine injures Bang-Bang photographer. It appeared in guardian.co.uk, Sunday 24 October 2010. After I will relate this news with anthropology, my future career.
What do say this news? It says that Joao Silva, war photographer, was badly hurt after stepping on mine in Afghanistan. João Silva, 44 years, is one of two surviving members of the Bang-Bang Club, a group of photographers who were celebrated for covering the violence in South Africa in the 1990s. Silva, in his life, has photographed conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, southern Africa, the Balkans and the Middle East. He is one of the most celebrated war photographers of his generation and has won many international awards for his work. This New York Times photographer was embedded with a unit of the US Army that had been trying to secure the routes into Kandahar, the hub of the Taliban-led insurgency and one of the most dangerous places in the country. No American soldiers were wounded in the explosion. Only Silva was injured and now he had been taken to Kandahar airfield, where he was receiving treatment. In this country, mines or improvised explosive devices are the main weapon used by the Taliban. They are cheap and easy to make but difficult to detect, and can be detonated by pressure or by remote control. It is believed that they have killed many of the almost 600 foreign troops to have died in the war so far this year, and have caused devastating injuries to survivors.
In my opinion, these wars are produced for crash of cultures and imperialism. Then anthropology must intervene for communicating two different cultures and so it must look for the peace. Anthropology must study both world visions, both cultures, because the wars happens when the humans don’t communicate us.

Good Rodrigo,

You say, "I´ll talk to you about a piece of news which appeared in ... And then I will rate this information to Antropology".
Is this question correct, ? "What do say this news?"
Also, "now he (had been) was taken to Kandahar airfield, where he (was receiving treatment) is being treated".
Finally, " (for communicating) to open a communication channel between two different cultures and (so it must) help them look for (the) peace. Anthropology must study both world visions, both cultures, because (the) wars happen(s) when (the humans) people don’t communicate (us).
