first journal entry

This article is about anthropological fieldwork in cities.Anthropologists are exploring problems and advantages encountered in doing urban research.Robert Kemper and George Foster show the living conditions of minorities in rural areas.These people include peasants and tribes.

Anthropologists believethat the most complete information on how people live comes from direct participation in gathering information.Anthropologists are new to the study of urban resaarch.Anthropologists believed that the best and accurate data comes from people who like them.In growing numbers American anthropologists traveled to latin america, europe,asia and africastudying tribal peoples, but most chose to work in small rural communitiesin developing nations.Anthropologists researchinr people in urban areas learned about the sufferings of the people there.

I've learned how interested Anthropologists are in urban research and they are very dedicated.I am very interested in this article. I would like to interview people in urban areas my self. I've learned about the living conditions of people in urban areas and found it interesting.

I understand that anthropologists always view urban populations from rural point of view. They just look upon them as transplanted villagers.Urban anthropologists reflect a rural bias. Most best data comes from relationships rural field workers have cherished.
