While studying anthropology, I notice a lot of interesting things. One of them are different styles of writing ethnographies by different anthropologists. I am not generalising of course, but for example I noticed that British authors seem to be a bit detached and tend not to express their emotions or opinions on particular approaches of the studied culture. American authors on the other hand, sometimes get emotionally involved and become very closed with the native inhabitants of the place they are studying. I find both styles very inspiring...
