Did anyone watch meet the natives last night on channel4?

Question

I thought it was brilliant. About time that anthropology was reversed. It was so insightful on many levels. In paticular I loved the bit when they were explaining their understanding of the village pub comparing it to their meeting hut - they said they didn't know how it could be the place where important desisions were made as everyone was drunk.

Do you think this proves that ethnographic anthropology is in the mind, ideology, understandings, and experiences of the beholder?

Can't wait till nexts week episode

Answer 3

a brilliant programme

speaking as a member of the so called  'civilised society'  ...Very Very humbling

Answer 4

I agree, the programme was fantastic and was a real insight into what other cultures make of our weird country! A lot of what they were saying could be learned from and certainly made me think when the programme had finished. Roll on next week and Manchester, should be fun!
