Compare and contrast ethnography and ethnology

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER:
Ethnography is descriptive, based on direct fieldwork, and focuses on a single group; ethnology is comparative, uses data collected by other ethnographers, and generalizes across cultures or groups. They are both specialties within Cultural Anthropology and both focus on the phenomenon of culture and cultural adaptation.
