Ch. 3:Text vs. Culture

I found that the section describing reading cultures as text and texts as cultures interesting. People may have different thoughts and ideas after reading a text because we all come from different backgrounds. While reading cultural texts, we need to let go of our background or perceptions of a culture and really read into what the text is trying to say. Reading a culture like a text and reading a text like a culture are simliar concepts because you need to master both to become a successful researcher.
