Wk 8 Discussion, Question 3

The concept from chapter 13 that I found to be the most interesting was the professional ethnographers. Professional ethnographers are people who learn from observation. Their reasons for observing behavior is scientific, not personal. I thought that this concept was very interesting because I tend to observe people all the time. I don't do it for scientific reasons. I don't even notice when I start doing it. Whenever I go out in public places I like to people watch. It do this a lot when I go to bars with my friends. It is very interesting to watch how all the people interact there, especially where there is alcohol involved. I also people watch a lot when I go to theme parks. I went to Disneyland every year in high school with my cheerleading team. Whenever my friends and I would stop for lunch or we just needed a break from walking around we would sit and just watch the people that passed us by. It was interesting to see all of the different people that were there and how they all enjoyed the park differently.
