Stage-Chapter 1

I know that most people are inclined to talk about the stories in this chapter, but what I thought was most interesting was the introduction. I liked thinking about journalism from an anthropologist view. The terminology was actually clever. For example, when people generalize and assume to understand a culture as below them, it's known as colonization, which makes me think of all the European colonies at the beginning of the 20th century. They all thought they were better then those who occupied the colony.
As much as I enjoyed the stories I enjoyed reading about journalists who have a sense of humor. This is a reference to Rosaldo, who enjoyed poking fun of what we think of as normal. I also enjoyed the contrast between objectivity and subjectivity. I know it's stupid for me to have enjoyed reading this part of chapter one so much but I started reading with a fear that I'd be bored out of my mind reading something I don't understand and something I don't care about.
