Answer to Question 1

It is the Americans and it allows us to see ourselves as very much like other people and other societies.

Answer to Question 2

Answers can include: to represent accurately and not just what informants want, to report to the best of the anthropologist's ability, to not knowingly falsify information, to understand that no community is homogeneous and all voices cannot be represented equally, and to be aware that collaborative work can lead to biased reporting and personal pressures.
