I honestly found the first sentence of the chapter the most interesting. "Ordinary living involves all the skills of fieldworking-- looking, listening, collecting, questioning, and interpreting-- even though we are not always conscious of these skills." I think this quote stuck out to my attention because I do these things most of my day, but before reading this chapter, I really had know idea I was doing it. I am definitely considered a "people watcher". Sometimes I really enjoy observing my surroundings and the people around me. I wouldn't necessarily say that I am judging, but I definitely take how people act and what they say into my opinion about them. I think most of the fieldworking skills are imperative to the survival of the human race. People have to look, listen, and observe all of thier sorroundings in order to adapt to a particular event or situation. Without the use of fieldworking skills, most people aould not be able to come up with unique and educated thoughts that reflect what they are thinking and how they feel at the time.
