Ethnography

Questions for blog:
1.  What are the benefits of each perspective?  Is one perspective better than the other?
2.  Write a brief explanation for why these rules exist.

Answers:
1.  One perspective can tell the newcomers exactly how their society works so that they can understand.  The other can tell the people of the country exactly how they are being viewed.  I think the Emic perspective is especially important because it can explain a country's culture before the country can be judged.
2.  The rules of ethnography exist so that a person can do an ethnography without offending the people he or she is studying, as well as getting the most accurate information possible.
