Week 4 Discussion 3

One of the topics from this chapter that I related to the most was Ethnography. For a former class of mine, I wrote a research paper based upon my ethnography. Our class was able to choose the type of research that we wanted to conduct, and I was immediately drawn to ethnography. This provides an individual the opportunity to immerse themselves in the environment of which they are trying to learn more about. A major aspect of ethnogrpahy is observation. I think that this is one of the key ways we can learn about a specific culture. When you are able to observe communication patterns, interactions, and behaviors, you can learn so much about their background and lives.
