In the film, " Margaret Mead: Coming of Age," describes an
influential women in anthropology. She was first inspired of
anthropology through Frank Boaz, to which led her in her first
study of adolescence in Samoa. During her time, there was not
enough information on how to conduct valid research, so she managed
the best that you she could. This later conflicted people of her
authority in anthropology, as she did not live with the people she
was conducting research on. But as Mead continued her exploration
and study, you can formally see how she becomes more accredited
with field notes and videography. Mead teaches us cultural
relativism and opens the eyes of the world, of different cultural
constructs. The film later shows us how Mead takes the norms of the
people she has studied in their society and use them to raise her
own child. Overall the film provides great insight of the inner
workings and development of anthropology through the journey of
Mead and her work.
