Ethnography Research Paper

The “Attic Black-Figure Column Krater” depicts Dionysos the Wine God surrounded by various Satyrs and Maenads. The Satyrs and Maenads appear to be performing some kind of dance ritual, with Dionysos standing center. Dionysos, holding a drinking appeared rather relaxed compared to the others in the scene, it almost appears as if he was smiling at the Satyrs and Maenads. Ultimately, the subject matter of the painting on the vase showcases a joyous ritual with Dionysus and his follower Satyrs and Maenads. The subject matter of this vase infers that the Athenians were a festive people that enjoyed dance and wine.

While conducting my ethnography I have interviewed five All-Girl members, and four Coed members of the Spirit program. By interviewing one more All-Girl members I hope to even out my biases due to being a part of the Coed team. Yet, before defining the differences found between the two teams, I will share the apparent similarities. Both teams show strong linguistic accommodations which I have observed at numerous appearances, such as changing the way one would speak due to their audience. When present at an appearance all members of the Spirit program are expected to intermingle and socialize with attendees. During the course of this exchange it became apparent that accommodating for the age of audience drastically changed the way the team members spoke. For example, when Jules Wazny was speaking to an elderly man she reduced the tempo at which she spoke and asked questions about the game and respectfully shook his hand; yet when she was speaking to a child she spoke in a higher pitch tone, offered the child her poms to play with, and asked questions such as how old the child was. These actions represent convergence, changing ones language to better fit the style of the recipient, which was not only found with All-Girl Cheerleader Jules Wazny, but also throughout the program. An example from a Coed member was Vivi Benbrook changing how she spoke with a middle age male, in a calm and respectful manor asking questions of the game such as where his seats where, and if he thought we were going to win. Contrast this to when she spoke to an elderly women, she used a higher pitch when asking if she was excited, and telling her to stay warm in this cold weather. All members, once wearing affiliated attire, whether it is practice gear,

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

Imagine a trip to one of the most beautiful mountain sceneries in the world. Now imagine that this scenic trip also includes sporting entertainment and historic landmarks. Welcome to the mountains of the Pyrenees. There is absolutely nothing to lose and possibly everything to gain by booking a summer vacation to this realm of marvelous and beautiful land. The Pyrenees is an exquisite range of mountains located in southwestern Europe. This intensely beautiful mountain range is the barrier dividing Spain and France. It is approximately 21,380 square miles and contains parts of twelve French and Spanish provinces. Discover the beautiful significance of the Pyrenees National Park. Witness the historical thrilling events of the Tour de France as it passes through the Pyrenees route.

The site chosen for this ethnographical study was The Square on downtown Arcata, California. This location was selected based on what we speculate is an increased population of transient individuals. Many Humboldt State University students and faculty are represented in this area due to its close proximity. The question this study will address the question of what it means to be a member of the transient community and how it is that they interact with the permanent residents or students of Arcata. This question will be examined by analyzing information collected in the field while observing and interviewing members of transient and non-transient populations.

As J.R.R. Tolkien once wrote in his book The Return Of The King, “All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more.” For thousands of years within stories and real life the job of the woman has been to stay within the house, do jobs like cooking, cleaning and taking care of and raising the children. The men on the other hand hunt for food, fight in the military, and complete the impossible and aspire to do more, such as changing the earth on a molecular level and create towering structures to reach the stars and above. It has only been in the past one hundred years that women have had

The qualitative research article that I chose is "Managing Patients With Heart Failure: A Qualitative Study of Multidisciplinary Teams with Specialist Heart Failure Nurses" conducted by Glogowska et al. (2015). This study utilized an ethnographic research which explored the perceptions and experiences of 24 health care practitioners working with heart failure nurse specialists and their impact on decreasing unplanned readmissions and improving patient outcomes. A qualitative in-depth interview was conducted across primary, secondary and community care with difficult to manage heart failure patients in 3 different locations in England.

A norm is a socially expected behavior that may change based on a person, place, or situation. An agency is a freedom of choice. For my ethnographic research, I have to observe a public place in which people commonly interact with each other. A public place that stood out to me was the Lockwood library third floor. I chose this location because it is not similar to a usual library, it is the complete opposite. Libraries enforce strict rules like no eating and no talking. Lockwood floor three says otherwise. The floor is filled with long tables that can seat around twenty people each. Ironically, there are no bookcases on this floor, just tables everywhere. There is one group study room on this floor which can be reserved by students which is the size of an average classroom.

The article by Peter Benson (2008) takes place in North Carolina where there were 16 months of ethnographic fieldwork conducted in order to understand the agriculture workers who worked on tobacco farms. The purpose of the article is to expose farm labor conditions since the conditions have remained hidden from the public. The farmworkers of the fields experience low wages, poverty, limited access to healthcare, as well as a constant fear of deportation. Their migrant housing was in deplorable conditions. Farm labors are among the worst housed group in the U.S. The fact that farmworker camps were located in very rural and isolated areas basically invisible to the general public creates suffering, disease, and often times were overlooked because

This is my first time that I come to New York, so I am curious about many things in this new place, such as the famous resorts, and the people here. As we know, the Times Square is very famous in New York. When I was in China, I hope I can visit Times Square, because I saw Times Square was very great in some of the opening of American series. Now, I am in New York, and I have enough chances to visit Times Square whenever I want. In there, it gives me a new horizon to understand the culture that is different from China.

The purpose of the ethnographic case study is to interview a person for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) community. More importantly, complete an in depth interview with a member who is different from my community and learn from this individual. As a learner student working to become a professor social worker it is imperative to understand my position in the interview as not being a professional. Instead I am a learner who will be educated on the life experience of a 43 year old, Black-American male, who is bisexual and HIV positive. Prejudices and Misunderstandings

Right now violence and discrimination are happening between different cultures across the world. The lack of understanding and compassion to live among each other besides our differences has caused a clash in cultures, or contact zones. Every day a culture is being limited and belittled due to the perception of what others think it is. For thousands of years misinterpretations and stereotypes have been made about different cultures. During slavery, Africans were seen as uneducated, savage, and uncivilized because of their differences from American culture. Although the Africans had an entire culture established before America was even discovered, they were still seen as the “other”.

Four crucial elements can be found in the external sources, one of them which is ethnography research. It generally includes watching target users in the realisic and naural setting, as opposed to in the artificial environment, or a focus group. The goal is to assemble an understanding of people's lives, their day-to-day activities, how they use the things they have, or what are their desires and needs in their professional, or everyday lives. Second element is observing technology changes, which consists out of process of invention, innovation and diffusion of technology or processes. Third element are macro trends and shifts. Macro-trend is a large-scale, sustained shift in whatever is being measured. Fourth and final element is keeping track

Tigers are a fascinating, and endangered, animal. They develop fast, and go off on their own when they’re mature. Tigers live in various climates, and eat various things as well. They are very strong, and have amazing energy. Not only are they magnificent to watch, but there are many interesting, and not well known, facts about them.

Ethnographic research is the scientific description of specific human cultures, foreign to the ethnographer. Each ethnographer has his or her own way of conducting research and all of these different ideas can be transmitted and understood in a number of different ways. Because there is no one set idea of how an ethnographer should go about his or her research, conflicts arise. In Reflections on Fieldwork in Morocco, Paul Rabinow uses a story like process to discuss his experiences during his research in Morocco. This makes it easier for the reader to understand his ideas then just having a technical book about the many different aspects of Moroccan life that he may have discovered. In Writing Culture: the Poetics and Politics of
