what did you find memorable?

From Anthropologist:
The speaker talks about what good anthropologists do, how they observe people and how they behave. What I found memorable was that I need to be open-minded when I observe people’s behavior. I tend to assume about what people would react on certain things. I think most people do that, and it’s based on their experience. But from this audio, I learned that I need to see things with fresh eyes. Like kids and teenagers. And avoid generalization.

From the reading:
The author talks about people’s behaviors in a certain place. Sometimes, the results are surprising because people don’t always follow the way we expected. From the article, the author explains the pattern we can find one of the public spaces, plaza. What I found interesting was how the author analyze people’s pattern by their gender, age, profession.
