    Ethnography involves describing and understanding another culture from the perspective of its members. Pioneers like Bronislaw Malinowski and Margaret Mead emphasized understanding a culture's worldview through participation. Early ethnographies studied non-Western societies, while later works examined Western groups, including specific communities and occupations. Recent ethnographies provide localized perspectives on corporate managers, factory workers, and residents of unique housing complexes.
