Explain ethnography, in what ways this method is particularly useful, and why it requires researchers to put their values “on hold” and to strike a balance between seeing the world from the perspective of the group being studied and seeing the group
through the eyes of a researcher.
Please provide the best answer for the statement.
1. Ethnography is a type of research in which the researcher inserts himself or herself into the daily world of the people being studied in order to understand the world from their point of view.
2. This method is useful because researchers can build trusting relationships with subjects, which can give researchers the opportunity to discover things that could be observed only through being regularly present.
3. A balance must be struck to avoid the extremes of either seeing the world entirely from the perspective of the subjects (and thus relinquishing the responsibility of the researcher’s role and the values important to the researcher) or refusing to see the perspective of subjects and instead imposing the researcher’s own values throughout the analysis.
