Feedback:
Ethnographers typically use a strategy called participant observation in which they make observations of the culture under study while participating in its activities. Ethnographers observe people day after day in their natural environments to observe behavior in a wide array of circumstances. Bracketing refers to the process of identifying and holding in abeyance preconceived beliefs and opinions about the phenomenon under study. Researchers strive to bracket out presuppositions in an effort to confront their data in pure form. The term hermeneutics refers to the art and philosophy of interpreting the meaning of an object, such as a text or work of art. Surveys do not include involvement in the activities of a culture.
