A. Rapport/ pg. 132: Rapport is a feeling of trust between researchers and the people they are studying. In the textbook, rapport is demonstrated to the reader very clear so that you can understand. It represented an example of how not to approach a victim of a situation and how to handle it. This whole film shows to the audience rapport. The people of Dharvi allowed the strangers to come into their personal life and explain their story. If this didn’t show trust to the audience then I don’t know what is. They were able to roam the streets, go into homes, go to places of work, go into a school, go to the acting class, and many more. I believe in order to gain trust …show more content…
Institutionalized means / pg. 205- Institutionalized means are approved ways of reaching cultural goals. In the textbook, it demonstrates to the reader what is cultural goals and talks about success.

These people wanted their kids to life a better life than they lived. They wanted them to be successful young men and women and get out of the slums and experience the real world. I think if their kids could survive the slums they could survive anything. They wanted the children to be the best that they can be. The children had their own goals and dreams as well. Sheetal wanted to be a doctor and the tailor’s son wanted to be a scientist. They made sure their children went to the best schools and were in good programs so they could learn. They are really great parents and their goals are really important. As the audience you can see that they love, care, respect, and many more things about each other indifferent ways. Everyone has goals and should complete so how.
