Writing Homework Help

Ethnography Activity

Please decide on an area of campus (Arizona State University) or (the internet, etc.) that you are interested in. This can be either a work setting or a study setting. You can also observe an online community. Your task will be to study how people manage stress in their environment (or a similar topic of interest). You will be doing observation in order to determine how you see people managing stress. Please watch how people interact with the individuals around them and how they exist in their environment. You will also want to look for significant symbols and patterns of interaction. After you have observed the group of interest, you will need to conduct an interview. Please use either: critical incident technique (where you have participants tell a story about a key incident) or stimulated recall (where you record an observation and ask for feedback from the interviewee).
