Re: what is ethnography

In your post I think you touched on the most important aspects of what writing an
ethnography is from Seth Khans article Putting Ethnographic Writing in Context.
One of the most important things I learned from this article is that you must pay a
lot of attention to ethics because even if it is unintentional, giving the wrong
information about a group could have negative impacts. Another important part of
writing an ethnography you discussed was when you said that Interacting and
participating with the group you are researching is a smart way to show them
respect and observe their community. I think that by showing respect you will be
able to get more from the group you are studying.
