Vocabulary:
Ethnography- In-depth involvement in a culture to describe naturally occuring behavior
Reflection:
When I first looked at qualitative research, I was a little skeptical. How can you have research where the research can be biased? The research is even sometimes fully dependent on that bias? In class, we brought up the book “Nickel and Dimed” which I read in one of my college english classes. In the book, the author incoporates herself into “the working poor” in order to discover how they lived. I guess this is one type of research, but when I think of journal articles, I think of an experiment being performed and results being collected and analyzed. It was very weird to realize that this was a type of research that is comparable to experimental research.
