Chapter 6: The Girl in Her Community
Summary:
Children under the age of 15 or 16 are not recognized in the community. Women are not seen as taboo as in other Polynesian cultures, as evidenced by the lack of ignoring women when they're menstruating. Women do not suffer the same penal code as men.
Discussion:
Overall, this is still boring. I don't see how understanding how Samoans live will help me as a computer engineer. I thought the menstruating and penal code bits were the most interesting in the chapter.
