Book Reading #15 - Coming of Age in Samoa

Chapter 5: The Girl and Her Age Group
Summary:
Children in Samoa primarily interact in age and relation groups. When they reach puberty, they are given more tasks and can interact less. Males interact in some casual homosexual relations.
Discussion:
This book is not making me appreciate the Samoan culture. Sure they're different, but I don't see any benefits for their way of life. I'm trying to be fair, but this subject is just not that interesting to me.
