The book teaches what it is like when one first travels to a new anthropological community and specifically emphasizes culture shock.When Anderson was studying anthropology in college, she was focusing more on African culture instead of European culture, this made it harder for her to adjust to life in Taarnby because she didn’t know it was going to be so much different than American life. This book helps readers understand crucial anthropological terms because each chapter outlines a specific term. One chapter, specifically Chapter 3, was about Participant Observation. This is the chapter about her cooking class that she attended. This helps the young anthropologist understand the confusions that happen while someone is trying to immerse themselves into a culture. Chapter 3 also demonstrates the struggles of learning a new language and communicating with the people of a different culture; it also helps the aspiring anthropologist understand the line of work they are going into and can help them prepare better ways to communicate with the people of the culture they study. Although a fictionalized book, it clearly and accurately describes the challenges and perils of being an inexperienced Anthropologist in a new…

Sociologists view childhood as being socially constructed; which in other words, means something that is created and defined by society. They believe, that what people mean by the term “childhood” and the position that children have in society is not fixed, but varies between different times, (historically specific), places and cultures. We can see this, by comparing the western view on childhood today with childhood in the past and in other societies. In childhood today, it is generally accepted that it is a special time of life and that children are fundamentally different from adults. Jane Pilcher (1995) argues that the most important factor in today’s idea of “childhood” is separateness. Childhood is also viewed as a “golden age” of happiness and innocence however with this innocence comes vulnerability meaning they are in need of protection from the adult world, meaning they are to be kept “quarantined” (separate) from adults. Children’s live in a sphere of the family and education, where adults provide for them and protect them from the outside world, similarly children lead lives of leisure and play and are excluded from paid work.…
