	Ruth Benedict
		As Ruth Benedict "learned what culture is, she came to feel that it was possible to view a primitive culture holistically, much as works of art are viewed in our culture - as something to be discovered, something that was not fashioned but that came to be in an integrated whole" (Mead, 1974 p.19).
		Benedict went on to classify the Zuni Pueblo as Apollonian or having a distrust of excess and orgy as compared to the surrounding Plains Indians who were Dionysian or valuing excess as an escape to an order of existence outside of the five senses (Mead, 1974).
		Benedict's work continues to hold its value as the strengths of her anthropological approach are appreciated by those professionals who share her concern with the impact on data of the researcher's position in her home society as well as with the impact on an audience of reported facts (Modell, 1988).

	Ruth Benedict
		In Patterns of Culture, Benedict presents sketches of three cultures, the Zuni, the Dobu, and the Kwakiutl, and uses these cultures to elaborate her theory of 'culture as personality-writ-large.' Before introducing the ethnographies, Benedict includes two theoretical chapters and introduces the term 'pattern,' which she interchanges with similar phrases in the rest of the text.
		Benedict further emphasizes the almost puritanical simplicity of the Zuni by constantly comparing it with other Native American cultures, describing, for example, a Mojave myth about murder and then stating "Such a state of affairs is impossible to imagine in Zuni" (Benedict 1934:121).
		In his analysis of Benedict as anthropological "author," Geertz labels her concluding remarks in Patterns of Culture as an "infamous" and vaguely schizophrenic reflection of the academic context in which she was working (Geertz 1988:115).
