Blog entry #2 : " The promise and pitfalls of going into the Field"

Until reading this article i never heard of this term ethnography or its concept. But after the reading I've gained a sense of what it means and Its basis. Ethnography has three main ideas: data gathering, data analysis and data presentation. Basically  the ethnographer goes out and does research and studies the subject or case. Step two the ethnographer spends time around the subject writing and putting together their thesis on the subject they followed. The last step of an ethnographer is putting together all the data and information gathered into a presentation.
 
From what I see from the reading and chapter two and how the relate to each other. One is make an emphasis on data the reading talked about the three stages of data and chapter two talks about quantitative data and variables formed by it. Also research and its important in social science as far as  putting together data and gaining a total understanding of specifics of an issue or subject. Another relation from the two readings is putting together an conclusion or what one might call a hypothesis.
