Personal Ethnography Analysis

Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time. Why does it captivate you? What or who do you turn to when you want to learn more?

Culture is defined as the traditions, customs, norms, beliefs, values and thought patterning passed down from generation to generation (Jandt 2010). The world consists of many different cultures. In this Ethnographic Interview, I was given the opportunity to explore and learn more about a culture different from my own. Through observation I’ve have seen how people of different cultures differ from mines. For example, the type of foods a person

The goal of this assignment was to interview someone who was culturally different than me and help me reflect on biases I had before and after the meeting. Through administering this ethnographic interview, I learned about a culture from the worldview of my interviewee. Before starting the interview, I was unaware of the “white privilege,” which is the culture who encompasses the tools and opportunities in society. Now after conducting the interview, I am aware this is not a bias, not everyone is granted the same opportunities. People from different cultures are not given the same opportunities in their country or in the United States. According to Sue and Sue (2016), problems encountered by clients are often due to organizational or systematic factors. Thus, through the counseling profession, it is essential that I advocate for my multicultural clients and their cultural groups. Not only on a client-therapist level but on local and state levels as well. It is important as a therapist to put yourself in the position of the client to be empathetic toward their lived experiences. Before this interview, I considered myself a multicultural competent therapist, yet I learned a lot about Venezuelan culture and about myself as a therapist.

I live in a country where I can meet people from all cultures and walks of life on a daily basis, yet still I have felt like a stranger in this “melting pot”. In the United States, the idea of diversity is a term I have heard many times when speaking of ways to heal the past of slavery and segregation, but I think that in the current political climate, diversity is seen as an enemy to the American way of life. I am an outsider in the country I call home, and my cultural background has impacted the way I see the world.

On the playground, I met who will soon to be my first best friend, shortly after I had my first kiss. Kissing a girl, I felt so scared of what it meant that I knew I had to make myself the way I believed was right. I thought the best way was denying and eliminating all feelings that I had of the opposite sex because I never saw two of the same sex could be together. Little did I know my mom is gay but, she was too afraid to talk about it at the time so, it led me to struggle with my sexuality growing up. I developed strong feelings for my best friend and I believed that I just loved her because she was my best friend. I quickly learned that I loved her in a stronger way and still not knowing how to deal with my feelings, I started to hate my

Beginning with the early stages of savagery to the complex civilizations in the 21st century, the need to compete remains an important aspect in the continual evolution of mankind. Competition took various forms throughout history from the bloody attempts to kill a mammoth in order to provide nourishment, to the violent battles between two opposing sides taking place on college football fields every Saturday afternoon. Another form of competition involving severe contact on a scale par with football is the sport of rugby. My personal history with the sport began in a medium sized island in Polynesia. I lived and worked in New Zealand during the summer of 1999, between my sophomore and junior year. This little

Once the song was fully memorized I practiced it with the recording accompaniment. I learned when to come in from the piano intro and how long to wait after the different phrases and sections. There were no dynamics for the voice part, so I added them in where I saw fit based on the phrases and lyrics, and was highly influenced by a recording sung by Cecilia Bartoli at the Berliner Philharmoniker with Daniel Barenboim.

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 was born into an age where cameras and technology were easily available. I started using cameras and computers basically from when I was born. I was intrigued by videos and photos. Me and my friends used the family video camera to make movies and film skits. I took general art classes from Kindergarten up until now. My interest in graphic design and computer editing programs spiked in 7th grade when i took a technology class with Mr. Mayes. I learned how to use photoshop and edited pictures for fun. Up until this year photoshop was something I was ok at and never really mastered. Computer Graphic Design with Ms. Remer-Saenz elevated my ability in photoshop and taught me how to use Coreldraw and Adobe Illustrator as well. I have been using

Honestly, I had quite a bit of ethnocentrism going into this micro-ethnography. I deemed myself superior due to my stable living situation; however, it took this cultural contact experience for me to realize my feelings of superiority are inappropriate. I am fortunate enough to have a solid support system and the opportunity to better my education; however, instead of using these privileges as reasons why I am “better” than those living at the Center for the Homeless, I must be grateful for the opportunities I have been given.

Measure the width of the coarse opening at the top, middle, bottom and the height at both sides and in the middle end. If the difference between the three width sizes or the three height sizes of the coarse opening is more than 1 inch, cut tapered plaster strips from stud stock and nail them to the sides of the opening that are out of level. Be sure the outside scopes of the window are at least ¾-inch slimmer and ½-inch shorter than the tiniest width and height measurements, correspondingly. Otherwise, if they're not, you'll have to either reframe the opening or order a new window of the same size.

I'm from a science family, my dad is a dentist and my mom is a pharmacist back home so loving silence in my blood before i even was born. They taught me a lot about science, they taught me the basic ideas about science like every person has a different DNA that’s why is not difficult if a crime happened the police can easily know who was guilty and who was not. I love science it is so interesting for me and because of that I decided to follow up my parents way.

For my project proposal, I decided to do an ethnographic study on individuals and groups in airports. I have noticed that when I travel, I normally choose not to hold conversations with other people even though I am closed and confined quarters for long periods of time. Therefore, I wanted to observe if people interact more with their devices than with each other. Prior to my observations, I assumed that crosstalk is limited, and that technologies result in social isolation. I believed that the airport was a good place to conduct my study because it is a semi-public sphere that has frequent foot traffic.

Article gives an explaination of implementing and maintaining healthcare records in the clinical setting. As there is a worldwide increase in investment and among visualized benefits are patient involvency, confounding secondary data which in turn relates in increase of quality of patient care. In the past implementation of technology has faced many technical problems there is poor connection between users and systems. Increase of chances of successful implementations to the systems which is based on methodology concepts. The best appropriate approach to study implementation of electronic health records is Socio-technical lenses as it includes of investigation not only on impact of technical problems in organsation but also in social settings
