Ethnographic Study

The researchers believed that after the online communication and chat rooms became viral, the adolescents will have no social connectedness and well-being. They then figured out that they were wrong. They found out that online communication helps the adolescents social connectedness and well-being rather than reduces it. The researchers came up with three assumption about online communication and how it affects the adolescents. First, online communication stimulates online self-disclosure, second, online self-disclosure

The purpose of this study was to see how high intensity interval training alter ATP in maximal muscle contractions. This study consisted of young eight men who performed six series of repeated 30 s all out sprints on an ergometer (Larsen, Maynard, & Kent, 2014). The purpose of an ergometer is to measure the amount of work is used to perform this task. All of the participants were students at University of Massachusetts who volunteered to participate in this study. Ages ranged from 27. 0 ± 3.4 years, no participates was currently participating in any regular exercise program. No participates were on any type of medication or vitamin to help

A dusty, scarlet photo album lay on my parent’s homemade drawer. Curiously, I flipped a few pages and landed on a section of an unfamiliar, quirky-looking boy. Upon closer examination, I realized that the boy was none other than myself! In a state of awe and nostalgia, I quickly scanned the miniscule two-inch squares, each subsequent one capturing physical maturity along with the loss of baby fat. As I reviewed each photo, I began to contemplate my past and realize how much I have grown through the years.

For my ethnographic project, I chose to experience the life at Islamic Center of Tucson, which is placed near the university of Arizona. For the purpose of this project, I will point to the Islamic center of Tucson as “The Mosque.” Ethnography is exploring culture phenomena which are the anthropologists understand societies from a research of a study. According to Eller, “participant observation by definition puts researchers skin to skin, life to life, with “subjects” who are living people. That fact demands a particularly self-conscious code of ethical behavior” (Eller 2013:37). The main focus of the paper is to observe the setting of the place from the outside, inside, human social interaction and language use.

In the film “The Human Family Tree,” the Genographic Project traces the human journey throughout the world, from our origins from Africa. The Genographic Project is a genetic anthropology study. The project’s goal is to map historical human migration patterns by collecting and analyzing DNA samples from people from around the world. In this specific film, with the help of science we can see how people from New York each have their own unique genetic history. To begin with, deep ancestry can be traced, based off of either your mitochondria or y-chromosome. Because women do not have a y-chromosome, it only shows the maternal line of descent when studying their mitochondrial DNA, while for men it shows both maternal and paternal. In the film we

It’s best to take notes during the observation. If that is impractical, take notes immediately afterward. Summarizing your memories of an event is not what ethnographic observation calls for (though it’s okay in journalism or memoir). You want to get down detailed, specific, observations, on details such as:

I am from a Filipino family, but was raised in Guam, a very culturally and ethnically diverse island in the Western Pacific Ocean. Guam’s culture embraces the pluralist view of Michael Walzer 2004 that it is a place of diverse “ethnic, racial, and religious groups” (p. 635). Historically and culturally Guam has been exposed to many peoples from diverse backgrounds. But white people are usually referred to as “haole,” a Hawaiian term for a caucasian or non-native. There is definitely a culture that portrays “haole’s” as disrespectful, entitled, and ignorant. Despite this, many visitors of the island commend its hospitable and welcoming culture. The only reaction I can expect is that my brothers will be good hosts to my guest. And being in a

I have decided to study the Bangladesh Muslim Center, also known as the Jame Masjid/Mosque by the locals for my ethnographic fieldwork project. The mosque is located in the Kensington neighborhood of the Brooklyn borough of New York City. The place of worship may be found on the corner of McDonald Avenue and Cortelyou Road; and the F train runs right in front of the building. It is in such an area where at times the noise level is at a maximum due to several building supply and material warehouses nearby, trucks passing by, and construction on the subway line. At other times, one may hear a pin drop.

I am going to conduct ethnographic fieldwork among a women’s volleyball teams in order to explore the facilitators and obstacles to women’s participation in sports. Sports have different meanings for different people and across societies (Laker 2001:4) and the way one engages in sports is influenced by the cultural or ethnic group one belongs to (Sever 2005:4). There are numerous barriers (Women 2000 and Beyond 2007:3; Women’s Sports Foundation 2007) and benefits (Women 2000 and Beyond 2007:2) to women’s participation in sports.

This study was a qualitative ethnography exploring g perspectives on the customers of strip clubs and the stigma that comes with being a regular customer. I hypothesized that people would be more likely to perceive strip club patrons in an unfavorable light. For this study I did in depth interviews with three people, two men and one woman.

Through reading the assigned texts and attending lectures, I have discovered a new field. Before this class, I had no idea what anthropology was or that ethnography existed. Claire Sterk discusses her ethnographic finds in “Fieldwork on Prostitution in the Era of AIDS.” I find it amazing that she chose this study. As a woman, I am unsure that it is one I could complete. However, she states that being a woman is the main reason she was allowed into this world, her golden ticket so to speak. The danger of this kind of study seems down played by her findings. Pimps launching attacks was a nearly isolated issue she described, but I feel as though there would be more. Being that I grew up in gang areas much like the areas Sterk studied, I know the dangers are both prevalent and dire. Through the beginning of the piece, the techniques she used to enter this culture are enumerated. These are pertinent to the study, but tie into the “Six Themes of Ethnographic Prostitution.”

In conducting ethnographical fieldwork, anthropologists have selected few key consultants to gather exclusive details and information about a society’s custom ideas, values, and practices through participation in research of the Ju/ ‘haonsi people of Namibia. Through qualitative data and much fieldwork in Namibia, key consultants will have to lay out a formal outline in their research to be successful. By conducting ethnographical fieldwork, preparation, observances and many challenges will have to be faced during the duration of Namibia. As a key consultant I must endure all factors of this study including: funding, ethics, an ethnographical approach, and all barriers that might stand in my way while conducting field work.

During my High School career, I’ve become involved in many different hobbies/activities to occupy my time whether it be clubs, sports, or things outside of school. The camera has impacted my life greatly throughout my High School years. This interest isn’t only about taking pictures or making simple videos, it begins to open doors for other sparks and interests in your life.

Without peripherals, computers themselves would be useless. Whether a mouse or keyboard, these tools produce different inputs or outputs for a system. one of these turns digital photos into physical photos. This peripheral is called a printer. Although not essential to operating a computer, this technology comes in handy. Many jobs or school assignments require printed photos to be added. Another tool is used to capture photos. This is called a video camera. These are usually bought separately or bought built in to a lab top. This camera can capture or record things in front of the monitor; perfect for selfies. The last peripheral i'll be talking about are the speakers. These are essential for watching youtube videos or skype. The speakers

Social sites are a beneficial way to communicate, however, it affects a person’s ability to communicate face to face with others. Many people spend much of their leisure time online rather than connecting with the offline world. In a specific article, a participant spends several hours each day updating her profile instead of talking face to face with others (Livingstone 399). Being online more than offline, decreases people’s abilities to interact with others who are disconnected. Furthermore, by communicating online also contributes to misrepresentation, which leads to misreading a text, leading to mixed emotions of a person who wrote the message. Therefore, social networking reduces an emotional aspect between people as it is hard to tell what a person is feeling through text. In addition, people lack confidence talking to an individual physically rather than virtually. In an
