"The argument that only members of a community
have access to the real meaning of events in that community, so outsiders'
opinions should be discarded, runs into difficulty when one notes the
great variations in opinions among members of a community and the difficulties
of determining who is qualified to represent the group. In addition,
members of a community often have difficulty noticing their own practices
because they take their own ways for granted, like fish not being aware
of the water" (24). Barbara Rogoff, The Cultural Nature of Human
Development
