#1 Introduction to American Culture

After reading the introduction and Chapter 1 from American Ways, go out into the Tucson and/or UA community to observe Americans and take notes.  I suggest you go to a place like a coffee shop, park or mall where you can observe Americans and even "overhear" what they talk about. Remember our discussion about acting like an anthropologist or sociologist.  When you have completed your observation notes, write a blog entry comparing the reading from American Ways with your own experience observing Americans.  What similarities of differences did you find?  What was interesting or noteworthy from your observations?
