Chapter 1 - Introduction
Summary
Mead explains how studying the adolescent requires the studies of anthropology. Also, it is pointed out that the adolescent experience cannot necessarily be generalized by that of the adolescent in America. She decides that studying the Samoan adolescent girl will provide a simpler societal example to study and hopefully solve some questions about the adolescent experience in general.

Discussion
She presented a good point of American adolescents not being able to totally explain the adolescent condition for the rest of the world. However, while Samoa might not appear to be as complex as American society, there are always tiny nuances in any situation that can add additional complexity. I think she will run into more difficulties than she anticipates.
