My thoughts on Ethnography

When it comes to Ethnography, I think that there is a lot to acknowledge and would be great to learn about the process it entails.

Ethnography deals with studying people and their culture. There are numerous types of cultures distributed all over the world and we wouldn't know about them all if we didn't have people like Ethnographers who study these cultures, record notes, and then make them accessible for us to see. 

These people who devote their life to their job and to find out about these cultures do several different things to do so. They...

  • Ask questions
  • Observe and watch
  • Interact with them
  • Care for them
  • Help them out
  • Form bonds
  • Become apart of the community

Because of these people we are able to attain so much more information on the diversity of cultures and individuals located all over the world.

  1. This is great Val!!
    I agree with you. Without Ethnographers we wouldn't know much about different cultures. Culture is very important and that is how we learn from others.
