Essays on Ethnography

Project managing tools are very essential projects, because they help individuals to keep track of the things that are essential and important to remember. This is especially important within businesses, since the bulk of a job position could be based on team projects and assignments. For this reason, it is essential that individuals get familiar with project management tools. Moreover, it is also essential to discuss the kind of project management tools that can be used across all kinds of projects as well, and not just the ones that will benefit a specific project only. An example of an ...

The world today is seeing more immigration than ever before, both legal and illegal. While countries forging solid links with one another in the vein of the European Union (hereafter referred to as EU for brevity) has encouraged legal immigration of all kinds, while war and deprivation in various other parts of the world has led to a burgeoning refugee crisis, with more people entering Western countries than can be adequately or carefully handled at any one time. These forms of immigration can be seen as quite different to each other at face value; however, when looked at in ...

Are Parisians really rude or arrogant or is this another stereotype?

Introduction One of the critical issues that affect the study of human behavior is the way different people understand the responses given and give an accurate report on their findings. Various individuals have engaged in numerous anthropological and ethnographic researches in attempts to understand why some communities behave in certain ways. A widely held serotype is that Parisians are rude and arrogant and they often show a significant level of dislike to non-Parisians. However, this can be treated as individual’s perception, and researchers would want to confirm whether such stereotype is true. Some individuals tend to place judgment ...

Introduction

The main mission of the ethnographer outlined in this paper was to carry out an investigation of the traditional Han society and culture (Jarvenpa, 1998). The ethnographer investigated how the Han lived in the early days, including if they still hunted for food or fished, how the Indians and members of the white community interacted, the communities’ hopes and fears, and how they saw their future. In this regard, the ethnographer investigated the traditional Han society and culture through cultural immersion and participants’ observation of the members of the community.

I find the Rachel R. Chapman ethnography intriguing because it gives very interesting insights in a global health initiative on maternal health care and how maternal mortality rates in Southern Africa, particularly in Central Mozambique, can be improved. Reading on, I find some of the things addressed in the book weird and absurd; it doesn’t make sense to me that pregnancies are actually, for the longest time possible, hidden from others, or how they expose someone to social threats, envy and ill will. I think pregnancy is supposed bring joy to the pregnant woman and the community at ...

This paper is to research the nature of documentary films, their history and theory. Documentary films are movies with close-to-reality plots. The themes of documentary films are often thoroughly chosen and arranged according to the unknown things of the world. The documentaries give the audience the lessons and warning about the peculiarities of the arrangement of different things. Many components of the films are analyzed through the impact they carry along with background voices and meaning of the scenes. These components are timbre, gender, texture, tone etc. They have connotative meanings similarly to those which modes of documentary films ...

For a long time, there have existed two opposing views in the study of moral and ethical norms of society. The first position can be defined as moral universalism. Proponents of this position believe that the entire international community, and each person separately, can be subjected to a uniform system of values ​​and laws. The second position is represented by moral relativism, the essence of which is the opposite view to the regulation of society. Moral relativism denies the existence of a common moral law for all people, arguing that there are many different cultures and each of them ...

In his book Sex, Gender, and Culture among Brazilian Transgendered Prostitutes, Don Kulick studies the life of a certain group of transgendered prostitutes in Salvador, a Brazilian city. He explores various aspects of the lives of these prostitutes majorly their social lives, and why they do not identify themselves as females yet outwardly, they are women. In Portuguese they are known as Travestis. The Travestis are very common in Latin America, but they are more known and found in Brazil (Kullick 6). They usually look quite different when compared to other people. In most cases, they look bizarre and ...

Semantic knowledge includes general knowledge of things such as basic facts, knowledge of people, and meanings. Semantics are almost always taken for granted because it is an innate element of human beings. Meaning-making and meaning-sharing is a natural part of our day to day discourse. The meanings that people attach to words, objects, and even people are highly subjective(Hornsby, Stanley, 2005). The meanings that we have for the things around us speaks highly of our experiences, personality, and beliefs. The practicality of semantics is also what makes it a difficult topic to study. It is difficult to study ...

Cuba has undergone a lot of social and economic transformation over time. Following the various transition periods through which Cuba has undergone is important in understanding its culture. The cultural landscape in Cuba is predicted by themes of race and gender and how the two interact. For instance, Bengelsdorf (234) finds that despite the Cultural Revolution that has occurred in over the last century, the family norms in the country are still predicted by racial and class traditions. This means that interaction in the society was polarized by class and racial differences as well as the formation of nuclear ...

Introduction

The bearing of the Saudi Arabian-Iranian disputes dates back to the 1970’s when religious extremism took center stage, and as such embroiled the relationship between the otherwise two powerful states constructed on rich religious backgrounds (Fürtig, 2002). The greater intolerance and religious extremism continue to jeopardize the prospects of having stronger international ties between the two states that had once shared cordial international relations, and who were once bound by common religious doctrines. The Iranian revolution of the 1979 is all to blame for the emergence of this war, whose effects had far reaching consequence to the ...

Abstract

Despite the fact that many organizations have embraced the new management strategies in reflexivity, there are still countless issues in the same regard. It is also vital to remember that for an entity to remain competitive in the market, it must formulate workable management strategies. In this survey, it is demonstrated that it is the sole responsibility of the reflexive managers to make sure that there is a flow of communication pattern in the company. The models include the research the organization undertakes to understand the ethnography behind the rationale of self-reflexivity. The structures of the society still control ...

The growth of material culture research has occurred simultaneously with a mounting interest in the physical and represented aspect of social life within the field of anthropology. Material culture perspective is founded on the clear, apparent reality that the presence of human-made objects or artefacts is actual proof of the existence of human intelligence (Prown 1982: 1). The fundamental principle is that objects created or changed by humans reveal the beliefs of people who created, bought, used, or consumed them, and thereby the value and belief system of the society at large. Visual anthropology and landscape are vivid representations ...

The field of study concerned primarily with the analysis and description of any culture is called the ethnography. The analysis of communication within the beliefs and social and cultural practices of the members of a speech community or a particular culture is called ethnography of speaking. The ethnography of speaking deals with the communicative form which is not limited to spoken language only and its function within a given culture. The ethnography of speaking is a part of linguistic anthropology, which concerns with the interrelationships among society, culture and language. Ethnographies deals with the structures and patterns of the ...

Introduction

The Ethnography that is being analyzed is The Innocent Anthropologist: Notes from a Mud Hut by Nigel Barley. Nigel Barley is a British anthropologist, who set up a home among the Dowayo people the northern Cameroon. Nigel Barley spent two years among the Dowayo people, which was between the year 1978 and 1980. The main reason for him to settle among the Dowayo people was to explore the culture and conduct research in the Third World area. During his research, he discovered ways to survive hostility, illness, boredom, and disaster. He also discovered the critical issues in the fieldwork ...

The choice of research design mostly depends on the present quality of relationship between police and young racial minorities.

If we suppose that before Maya nobody seriously addressed the issue of working with racial minorities in the city, then it would be reasonable to start from establishing trust-based relations between police and youngsters. The best way to initiate this process is conducting ethnography research. Though it can take much time and gaining trust of racial minorities can be really changing task, I believe it is well worth it. Only this method allows to get high-quality research results concerning social, cultural and economic situation among people belonging to racial minorities. Using ethnography method, it will be possible to get ...

In considering the potential contribution of linguistic anthropology to the ongoing reform of Native American education it is evident that there are various sources of information that demonstrate the need for major reform in specific categories of education. This can be applied in order to develop better practices for educating not only Native American students but students of various differing ethnicities. In developing these pedagogical reforms there are particular categories of education that should be focused on. In consulting on a tribes in a generic sense, the differing types of educational reforms that can be recommended on the basis ...

Introduction

Over time, there has been increasing interest in culturally responsive teaching that grew since the late 1980’s and the early 1990s primarily because of the increasing diversity in the country’s classrooms. This is coupled with the concern over the low rate of success by the many racial and ethnic minority students despite numerous years of reforms in the education fields. The ongoing reform of the Native American education is further influenced by the fact that after years of population decline to the historic low of around 237,000 members in the year 1900 the American Indian populations ...

Question Three

Definition and importance of ethnographic fieldwork in cultural anthropology Ethnography refers to a branch of anthropology that offers scientific interpretations and descriptions of human behavior. Ethnography fieldwork focuses on the systematic study of a particular group of people through observations, and the fieldwork focuses on the interactions and actions of the humans. Ethnographic field work can also be defined as a recording and an analysis of society or culture and it depends on the observations of the participants which result in a written account of an institution, people or place. Ethnographic field work focuses on specific aspects of the ...

(Jamie D) Both anthropology and ethnography answer the question ‘how people lived?’ I agree that anthropology as a science is quite difficult to define. There is no particular approach and time period that frame its subject. Moreover, with the development of thought and technology, anthropology should also change. Anthropologists investigate the ways of people’s living in the different periods of human history and all processes related to it. They pay attention to coexistence of different cultures, but this is not the main focus. At the same time, ethnology, in my opinion, concentrates on cultural and traditional aspects of ...

Describe two research methods used in sociology.

Two popular research methods adapted to be used in sociology are classified as quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative research methodology encompasses collecting numerical data to analyse a phenomenon. It also involves interpreting findings through statistical applications. The foundations of quantitative research design/methods emerge from the philosophical premises of realism; subjectivism and paradigm wars. From a sociological, perspective quantitative research methods focus on a systemic empirical approach in its investigation of social issues (Hunter & Leahey, 2008).

Qualitative research method investigates the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of a phenomenon without utilizing any mathematical tools. In this sense it is considered the inversion of quantitative research ...

When anthropologists write about events that happen on the field or about a particular society, they would provide as much information as possible on the written text. From the example in Geertz’ essay about Cohen and the Berbers and how he was able to get his ar in the form of a large number of sheep (Geertz, 8), the reader learned who the robbers and rebels were, what ar was, how was it taken, what the political situation was at that time with the French officials, and what the punishments were in those times. Geertz mentioned that the event was told ...

The culture, observations and an overview of the activity

As a Muslim, who has never gained any interest in Christianity, I was involved in an observation and an interview in regards to the Christian culture. In this regards, I explored the Christianity cultural service of baptism for the participant observation. The event took place in the morning. During the church service, the young ones were baptized at a very tender age and the majority of these children never understood what was happening. As a result, some made loud cries but their guardians were all there to sooth them. For the particular service, baptism was specifically the event of interest. Every child ...

Research paradigms A research paradigm refers to a design, small, basic examples that are used to demonstrate procedures, methods and hypothetical points. It is also a framework guided by a set of beliefs and approaches concerning the world. Ontology, epistemology and methodology are examples of philosophical terms and represent the basic types of paradigms. Every research paradigm should be treated with the importance it deserves. A philosopher should not at any time ignore any paradigm, be it qualitative, quantitative or epistemology. A proficient research should be a comparison of several other researches. For instance, a researcher should not be contented by the ...

Abstract

Program evaluation extends the understanding of the subject being evaluated to include the "inputs", processes and objectives of the program, and sometimes its context. This approach is based on the assumption that the evaluation function is to determine the degree of achievement of the stated goals or objectives of the program. Details about the ethnic and demographic guise, features of economic activity, family and social life of illustrate tribes’ diversity comprising Alaska Native, American Indian, or Native Homesteads. The variety, a large palette of specific features and ethno-cultural phenomena shows that many manifestations and cultural phenomena of these minorities ...

Introduction

Networks have, in a lot of ways, affected a lot of aspects of human life. Since the boom of the internet era, for example, many people have started to exhibit shifting preferences and habits when it comes to making social interactions. As more and more social media platforms got invented, the number of people using such tools to interact and be a part of a larger network has demonstrated a steady and continuous increase. The thing with networks is that they tend to have vague and ambiguous definitions. Some people may perceive them as a mere system of connections that relates one entity to another. ...

Review of Keenan, J. & Evans, A. 2014. ‘‘I am a starbucks worker my life no longer belongs to me’: the performance of enstrangement as a learning tool,’ Teaching in Higher Education, vol. 19, no. 2, pp. 101-112. This paper examines the use of autoethnography as a means of approaching the experience of estrangement, thereby making the researcher’s personal experience a topic of investigation. Autoethnographic practices that emphasize the location of the researcher as an important response to post-structuralist epistemologies in which older forms of certainty in the validity traditional scientific inquiry have been edged out by greater knowledge that experience ...

Background of the Study

The fast food industry is witnessing an unprecedented growth in the recent years. In this era of globalization, multinational organizations are willing to expand their business operations in growth markets. For exploiting this opportunity of global expansion, they must formulate appropriate business strategies according to the targeted market (DePalma, 2002). These strategies are based on host country’s geopolitical and socio-economic environment. Nowadays, companies are aware of the fact that if they want to attain lucrative business then they have to focus on local needs, as well. Glocalization is new business concept, which is used to elucidate the concept ...

Define and describe ethnography. Explain how it is used as a method in Anthropology. Ethnography is defined as a qualitative research method that is used most often in social sciences, such as sociology and anthropology (Brewer, 2000). Ethnography is, thus, used by cultural anthropologists to learn another culture. Ethnography is a unique method, since it does not rely on statistical data for it is more on recounting an occurrence in the social world and the personal lives of the community. Ethnography method is adopted by anthropologists, since they believe that it gives efficient result when compared to other methods. The anthropologists ...

Introduction

Ethnography refers to a designed research that explores the cultural phenomena of a group of people residing in a certain geographical location. The discipline reflects on the history, way of life and all social characteristics of the targeted people. An analysis of the organization, relationships between ethnic groups, settlements, and climatic terrain are substantial factors towards understanding the way of living and the reality of the habitat group. Furthermore, ethnographical research gives a clear view of how people and the society deal with sociological problems as they encounter in everyday life. Racism, drug addiction and illiteracy are among the common social problems facing ...

This paper is going to examine field research and web-based research as two methods of research. Field research involves collection and analysis of information outside the workplace. The researcher identifies the topic of research and goes to the field to collect the information in the real world. This method involves many ways of collecting data. It may be from simple observation of the subjects in their natural environment (Emerson, 2001). In other cases, the researcher has to target specific subjects using tools such as interviews, questionnaires, or focus group discussions. In other cases, the researcher might integrate themselves with ...

The world today is rapidly changing and coming together, thanks in part to globalization and the power of the internet. Communication by all means is cultural. It has the ability to draw on the many ways in which we learn to speak and give nonverbal messages. Communication between people doesn’t all happen the same as it varies from day to day, affected by individual personality, context, and the interactions of different individuals moods with the impact of cultural influence. Communication is an interactive process in which social influences are internalized to influence individuals’ choices, and effect relationship with ...

A body of literature is relevant in any research. It is considered as a published collection of information that is relevant to addressing the research question. Research is about answering gaps in knowledge and literature. In line with this, the research question provides a guideline for the researcher to determine the points he or she wishes to answer or address. Questions such as what is the existing problem and what makes the problem relevant are commonly tackled during the definition of the research question. It provides the core of the research because it determines the focus of the researcher ...

Introduction

Qualitative research, as defined by Thomas from the book of Sampa (2012), “involves gathering and interpreting information from the viewpoint of kinds of objects, ideas, or events” (as cited in Sampa, 2012, p.5). Qualitative research has five approaches, which are narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case study. Each design should be anchored to a theory in order for the progress of a research to be guided. According to Creswell (2009), in qualitative research, a theory acts as a lens for understanding the study, although it may also be formulated during or after the study.

Implication of Theory in the Five Approaches

Phenomenology This type of approach, as ...

- Research Problem, Hypothesis And Research Question Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is one of the heart diseases which cause death among people in the United States. Cardiovascular diseases are primarily caused by diets that have high saturated fat contents e.g. cheese and fast foods, as well as food containing poisonous toxins (Robison et. al., 2014). The disease affects different structures and the general functioning of the heart. Among the structures affected include the blood vessels, the coronary artery, aorta and the heart valves. Functions of the heart that are affected are the heart rhythms, and it can also cause ...

I. Politics of Nature and Culture West et al. (251-277) emphasized on the importance of protected areas, in that those serve the interests of environmental conservation efforts, particularly those that are deemed fragile and vulnerable to known threats to the environment. Indeed, protected areas are notable for their supposed isolation, given the purpose of preserving all that thrives within the environments those occupy. In that case, one must take a look at the situation of the people who are living within protected areas, particularly established communities that existed prior to their designation for protection. For West et al. (251-277), ...

Introduction

Philosophy is all about questioning and setting the rules to find out the truth and its different approaches. It defines the abstract concepts and emphasizes on logic with rules of argumentation. Philosophy has researched science with good detail and influenced scientific inventions by thorough reasoning and intellectual thought (Popper, 2014). The subject of philosophy went deep down and developed various approaches, scientific method, and practices of science, adopting the strategy of discovering the facts, mechanisms, and laws to study the natural world. Science is a collection of knowledge, which is based upon predictions and testable explanation. As a result, science and ...

Virtual Communities

Technology reflects the lives human beings lead; cell phones represent our desire to communicate remotely from virtually any location, computers and the internet reflect our thirst for information, and online social networks are the spitting image of the kinds of connections humans make on a daily basis in reality. On Facebook and Myspace, people use their personalized profile pages to demonstrate their social or economic status. Sometimes the number of friends a person has is used as an indication of their social classification. While these online communities are entirely digital and, from a literal standpoint, have no material basis, they are very ...

All the actions that go against the social norms can be said to be deviance. A norm refers to the set of rules and anticipations by which a certain group Particular society that. The sociologist in their classification has cited that any feeling or thought they judge, as a violation of a certain group is paramount to deviance. Deviance is relative to the time and place of occurrence (Clark, 2005). This essay intends to examine the different ways in which deviance has been used.

What are the different levels of deviance?

The three levels of deviance include Mertons, Anomie or Role Strain model, symbolism interactionism and Conflict theory and ...

Language is one of the most, if not the most, important tool we have when communicating with each other. People talk and use different vocabulary when they talk to their siblings, their co-workers, or their friends. They also act different around them and the study of the behavior of a specific cultural group is called ethnography. Ethnography is “a qualitative research design aimed at exploring cultural phenomena. The resulting field study or a case report reflects the knowledge and the system of meanings in the lives of a cultural group” (Gee 2003). There are many reports of ...

Introduction

In this era of social media, many firms have joined a social network with a view of expanding the clientele as well as communicating directly to them with a view of learning their needs. Many firms run social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter accounts. The social media accounts allow clients to share views about the companies’ products including their satisfactions and resentments (Wimmer & Dominick 2013, p. 18). Some firms have gone a notch higher by using the social media to conduct research about their products. Since the social media allows the consumers to present their comments about the product or respond ...

Introduction Upon the anthropological evolution, gender was a key concept within the actual restraint of anthropology. This research of evolution of gender roles is significant simply due to the post-colonial impact in history. Hence, sex and gender outlines differently within anthropology, the previous as grounded in professed natural changes in that the latter as the cultural productions perceived, performed, and assumed inside the general public, that of which is often based on those perceived genetic dissimilarities . During the 20th century, the rise of sociocultural anthropology, the connotation and impact of gender to the discipline has shifted in some of ...

The study of Anthropology is the study of humanity along with its societies, social structures and cultures. By analyzing the differences and similarities in traditions, origins and behaviors we gain an insight into how humans evolved and developed into today’s social and national structures. Anthropology goes deeper into just the surface laws and mores and into the emotional reactions and religious beliefs that govern how we, as humans interact with each other and our environment. It addresses the holistic concepts of how the key ideas of the biological, cultural, linguistic and social development of the human race ...

Analysis of Herodotus and Sima Qian

History as we know it today as a means of self-knowledge, political enlightenment, and a critical account of the past has its origins in two ancient civilizations in Eurasia, which are Greece and China. Two of the best-known canonical formulations are the “histories” of Herodotus in Greece and “Shiji” of Sima Qian in China. Since the time and works of Sima Qian and Herodotus, history has been the study and analysis of human exploits in different geographies and ethnographies (Stuurman, 2008:1). Thomas R. Martin is an American-based historian who specializes in the field of Greco-Roman studies. He teaches courses in ...

In modern times we are bombarded with so many images in our everyday existence it can often be difficult to distinguish what is “true” and what is a falsity. In the days of CGI filming and overly airbrushed photos, it seems that people are more willing to except photographic trickery than they are to accept photography as a documentation of truth (Mirzoeff 89 ). Photography was originally thought of as the ultimate truth, documenting people and events in real time, however this is often no longer the reality. By looking at images in our everyday life with an analytical eye we can ...

What advantage does Evans Pritchard’s study have over Hutchinson’s book? Well it is apparent that even though Sharon Hutchinson and E. E. Evans-Pritchard were passionate men that were conducting their fieldwork in places that were similar, and among people that would be considered to be similar, their discoveries and findings not to mention their published ethnographies are blindingly different. Each has something that the other one dos not. However, Hutchinson is seen as the guy that has all of the right answers, especially when it comes to the Nuer people. However, their differences can basically be recognized ...
