Comm105-ethnography

Chapter 13 talks about research methods that researchers use to gain the answers to their questions.  Or possibly more questions from their research.  Ethnography is a method that researchers that allows them to observe behavior of their subject in their natural setting.    This method can be used on one subject or a group.

We have all seen movies on this kind of research.  Movies like, Never been kissed, or Just one of the Guys.  These movies are about journalists who infiltrate a certain group posing as someone else to do research for an article.  
 
I think this is a very cool way to write about something.  What better way to write about something than to experience it.
