Just a late night log, to clear my thoughts about anthropology. I must admit, the study of people have always fascinated me. In my mind, I've somehow found patterns to categorize people into, or spot out patterns in behaviour, speech, dressing, etc in different environments.
Small, minor things, yet they catch my eye. It may be really tedious to carry out, but with many people in a group it's quite doable to properly record down information and observation. That being said for the assignment given.
It will be interesting to see how there are social patterns everywhere, even if you resist stereotyping. Like it or not, in a "pack", individuals sometimes tend to mold to each other, they adapt to the most domineering character of the "herd".In very obvious situations like this, it won't be difficult to point out the leader. Hierarchies such as this is common practice in almost every corner of the world, be it a huge,political governing or a high school clique.
It's a pattern and culture that people understand. Especially when it comes to personalities, as it plays a big role in how the positions roll out.
It's also odd and amusing when certain patterns end up in higher averages than most.
