Emic/Etic perspective

Benefits from the emic perspective allows you to have insight on the concepts of their beliefs. They have more familiarity with the subject and already know many things about it.
Benefits of the eitc perspective is good for people who want to learn and grow more. It's a good way for one to expand their horizons and views. They'll then have more insight about other cultures, rather than just their own.
I don't think one perspective is better than the other because they both have benefits to them and there really isn't a clear cut "better" perspective.

These rules are applied because you must be open to new ideas, you need someone informing you so you know what is okay and what isn't in that culture to prevent slip-ups, and you have to be very interactive with the culture you're studying.
