Evidence in an Ethnography Assignment

Read/watch/listen to the ethnographies assigned below. In your blog, write a short summary of the ethnography and reflect on how the author's came to their conclusions. What evidence did they gather to support them? Do you think their results solid? Why or why not?

Spend about 45 minutes writing. You will use this assignment again in class on Wednesday to create a presentation for the class on your assigned ethnography.
