Example Of Ethnography Report

Hello, Amanda. I really enjoy the atmosphere you created in this photography (p1). You did a good job of framing your subject and created this mysterious setting. However, the background and foreground do seem to have been affected by movement--it would have been nice if the foreground (your subject) looked more focused. Did you intentionally move the camera? What did you tell you subject to do? (if you even told them to do anything) Aside from this, maybe you could have raised the f-stop and/or ISO a little more--unless this was the kind of lighting you desired (which seems to be the way), but a little more light would not have hurt! Your other two photography were nice as well. In your third photograph, I notice the light in the background

    Never thought we would be operating as far as the West Coast United States,” commented Victor Malinski, who was busy at work alongside Schäffer and the other FVL leaders, double checking the amount of equipment that had been allocated to them for their Sunday Morning Special, Fall Verdunkeln (Case Blackout), in the form of “Requisition Credits.” They had already arrived at their secret hideout on the night of the 1st of May. More from within the ranks of their respective RGA groups are expected to partake in this case, but their leaders will be asked to lead the way for them. Soon after Preston Connelly was finished counting his, he said to the others, “I’m all done, you guys. Does anyone here happen to have anything good to read by any chance?”…

    Performing ethnographic fieldwork can be challenging, especially when it comes to building rapport with your subjects. Often times the subjects of the research may feel intimidated, judged or like they won’t be understood when being interviewed. In order to get the best results from their research, fieldworkers need to make sure their subjects feel comfortable in sharing all aspects of their life in regards to what they are studying. Anne Fadiman and Joshua Reno both work to build relationships with the people they study through participant observation to gain trust and get an inside look into their social and cultural worlds.…

    When we fail to comply with certain standards, which are put in place by society we are often shunned from those who choose to comply with these values. After observing different social settings as well as the expected behavior in those settings I choose to focus my attention on ordering etiquette in fast food restaurants. In each of the fast food restaurants I observed in both the Hub and along downtown East College Avenue I noticed three elements of expected behavior. The first was to place an order to your cashier in first person. The second, consumers were expected to pay for their purchases.…

    I feel as if I have many memorable experiences from Exploris. One of them is when I went to Hope Elementary. Whenever we went to Hope Elementary School, we were able to work with the little children to teach them the science they were supposed to learn during the year. The experience helped me to learn how to plan ahead. Another example is when I went on the Outward Bound trip.…

    Ethnographic Interview Illness, or a sickness that affects the body or the mind, is something that can greatly alter a person’s life. The majority illnesses people experience lasts a relatively short amount if time, and in that short time they can impact the way someone lives.

    “In this ideology, walking functions as an emblem of the simple man and as, when the walk is solitary and rural, a means of being in nature and outside of society”(Solnit, Pg. 18) Walking is always overlooked, and is only looked at as one way of many to get from point A to point B. I feel Solnit had a great point when she illustrates how important walking is in the world. Walking is a great way to connect to your environment. When you walk you are always connected with your environment. You are looking at different things, walking on different surfaces, touching different objects, and are breathing and smelling various substances. I feel you cannot have environmental art without including walking.…

    Mini-Ethnography For my mini-ethnography project, I chose to research the life at the restaurant located down the street from my dormitory building. The primary focus of this ethnography is to compare the norms of the employees when the supervisor is present at the restaurant and when she is absent. As defined by Richard T. Schaefer, the author of, “Sociology: A Brief Introduction,” a norm is “an established standard of behavior maintained by a society.” How does the standard of ethical behavior change when the supervisor is there keeping an eye on all of the employees compared to when she is absent?…
