First, discuss ethnography and ethnographic fieldwork, then, using at least two of the assigned readings from your class reader, discuss how and what ethnographic research contributed to understanding aspects of human life.

What do you think ethnographic methods contributed to the anthropologist’s understanding of the community or research problem
