Identifying one's own culture can be challenging because culture is multifaceted, encompassing various elements like language, traditions, values, and social norms that can shift over time. Individuals often belong to multiple cultural groups, leading to conflicting influences and a layered identity. Additionally, personal experiences and perceptions can shape how one views their culture, making it subjective and sometimes difficult to articulate. This complexity can create ambiguity in recognizing and defining one's cultural identity.

To study human culture. Anthropologists must strive, in their work, to set aside their own culture when studying another culture (or studying their own culture) to avoid ethnocentrism (a bias toward one's own culture).

Anthropologists tend to strive to prevent ethnicide, the destruction of cultures (not to be confused with ethnic genocide, which is the mass slaughter of the people of a particular culture); this means trying to protect waning indigenous tribes from losing their culture by being absorbed into their developing nature, exploited by first-world corporations, or converted by missionaries ... or, if unable to act to avoid the ethnicide, to at least record in every possible detail the culture being lost.
