Paper Summary:
This paper explains that providing an exact definition for ethnography is difficult due to its subjective nature. It points out that ethnography is a method of sociology research that explores the ways of life of a culture. There are a number of different types of ethnography, and each sociologist must decide the method to employ in his/her own research.From the Paper:
"There is not a set definition of ethnography, as it can be both a process and an outcome. The term can apply to both the methodology and to the written account of an ethnographic project. Ethnography has its roots in social anthropology, which traditionally focused on small-scale communities that were thought to share culturally specific beliefs and practices (Pellatt)."More papers on Ethnography:
