Ethnography

1. The benefit of being on the outside looking in is that you are unbiased. The benefit, however, of examining your own culture is that you biases will balance out and you can understand what is wrong with your culture and try to fix it. Between the two the former perspective is best because you have no predispositions.

2.These rules exist because an ethnography couldn't exist without them. An ethnography without these rules would be like a utopian society; it cannot exist because the laws and rules that allow society, or in this case an ethnography, to function are have been broken and ignored.
