The reading was very inlightening and interesting to me:
the difference between participation and observation, if you wanted to do a study one a culture you need to do more then just study what they do, it goes far beyond observation, you need to get into the culture to really understand what they do and why.
even in school there is a culture there. there is a teaching/learning culture where everyone teaches at one point and everyone learns at another.
there is a certain culture at work, how you speak and how you sociallize with people, you would talk to someone differently at work then say at school. there is a higher level of respect for people when you are at work, you want to make the costimers happy, so you will treate they better they if you were just palling around with your friends.

When I read about the Pentecostal Meeting in London, it was very easy to read, partly because that is exactly how they speak when they are at a church service. they use their language differently then they would if they were at a store.

well to conclude: I found the reading interesting because I learned things I didn't know before.
