As someone who loves and is used to writing scientific research papers, I had to think a lot about what my ethnography topic could be. This is interesting considering how the paper states that ethnographers can spot a question for research anywhere, yet I struggled to come up with one. In addition, I think it is important how the book emphasizes that the ideas and notes should be organized. I noticed this is something that is very helpful in ethnography (after all, field notes are the core component of such a paper).<br \/>\nChoosing an ethnography question\/topic is difficult because it dictates your entire paper. That is why I appreciate how these two chapters broke down things to think about when brainstorming it, especially some of the things that should be avoided.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reply\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These two chapters brought up some good guides to both finding the ethnography research question\/topic and how to best keep track of your ideas.
