Annette Weiner didn't fine when she studied the women of the trobirand islands athat malinowski had depicted the lives of women in an accurate way. which is, when Malinowski when to the trobricna island, he assumed a lot of things but only look at a particular group, and being not affiliated with the whole culture, for a short amout of period, because of his selected group to write about or because of his influence in such cultures, he published his posts ansd poeple thought those were what happened in those countrie.s I think in part it is not fair. for exampel, when i jsut came to the United States, because some people do not know what's going on in China, they asked me if I wore shoes when I was in China. O f course I did! BUt i don't blame them because they know china thorugh some movies taht became popular in the US, maybe some movies aobut Jackie Chan in the 70s or maybe some movei exaggerating some very poor parts of china. anyways, that is how they became known that china is just like that, through a lacking of understand, that they assumed if I behaved like people in those movies did.
some movies, popular in china, were just movies about some exaggerated part in china, to make the government realize atht they still have work to do about those places in China. For example, in movie "can't live without one of them", the movie portrayed a situation in china in some very poor places people don't have education, and the teachers made sure they cant' miss one single kid in the class.
