Ethnography

  1. One benefit of insider perspective is that the ethnographer is able to gain a perspective of how the people view the rest of the world. Also, he or she can appreciate how other people live. In outsider perspective, the ethnographer can easily compare to other cultures, which is the main point of the perspective.
  2. These rules are important. Objectivity will never be achieved, and acknowledging your biases allows you to get them out there and move on without them being an issue. An informant allows you to not distort the image, and informing your subjects will make them less scared and afraid of you, so they will act naturally. This is why the rules are in place, and important when doing any type of ethnography.
