Ethnography Study Worksheet

Instructions:

For this assignment, you will fill out a short worksheet explaining the results of an ethnographic study, or an ethnography. You may recall that in this type of study, researchers actively engage with participants while they are collecting their research. So, they observe participants and also interview them while they are immersed in their culture.

To complete the assignment, go to library databases. In the library databases, you should use “ethnography or ethnographic” as search words in the Advanced Search function. The library staff is always ready to help if you have not searched the database for a journal article yet in your college studies.

Search one of the following subjects (and, be sure to click through a few pages of results until you see a study that interests you personally):

– communication at work and ethnography

– nonverbal communication and ethnography

– intercultural communication and ethnographic study

Comedian Trevor Noah On being mixed race in South Africa

This discussion question relates to the lecture on cultural identities, which focuses on how cultural identities are formed and the multiple cultural identities within each person. The lecture states that culture is described as a group of people who share meaning (meaning such as clothing, food, language, music, beliefs, traditions, rituals, etc.) Therefore, each person has multiple groups (sub-cultures) they share meaning with; for instance, a person could be a member of an ethnic group, religious group, gender group, sports group, music group, etc. An example from the lecture on cultural identities suggested that a person could be from the Armenian culture, female culture, Northern Californian culture, basketball culture, hip hop culture, and rave culture. This example highlights one of the main points of the lecture that people are multicultural (made up of many sub-cultures).

(2020), which deals with a relational communication issue.  You don’t have to limit yourself to topics that we cover before the assignment’s due date; you can read ahead and focus on a topic that we will cover later.?

Conflict Resolution Discussion

Conflict Resolution Discussion

If you’ve never seen the show, I highly recommend. While the show is funny, it addresses a lot of conflict (even if it does miss the mark sometimes). Case in point, Jim. If you really break the character down, he’s not a great guy. If you’ve ever worked with someone who thought their pranks and poor treatment of others was normal, office banter, then you understand. What I love about this episode is that you finally get to see (and so does the character) how degrading and unproductive, let alone NOT funny, his jokes really are.

Now, before you come at me with my opinion, all the characters in this show have faults. It’s what makes this show so funny! We get to see people we work with through a lens that helps us (well, most of us) understand that certain behaviors are not acceptable at work.

Instructions

PLEASE GO TO YOUR PEACOCK TV LOGIN AND WATCH THE OFFICE S2:E21 CONFLICT RESOLUTION (链接到外部网站。)

When watching the episode (链接到外部网站。), please note how the office productivity pretty much stops for the day. You’ve already read about conflict and its impact on business, so think about the articles you’ve read in addition to this episode when commenting.

After watching the episode, please post a comment (minimum of 150 words) about its contents and respond to two other classmates’. I do expect to read insightful discussions, so please don’t reply with, “I really liked your comment. I feel the same way.”

Here are some talking points if you’re stumped:

    • Do you work in a place that has a strict policies and procedures for conflict management?
      • Many companies use mandatory arbitration to handle disputes. Does yours?
      • Are you aware of your company’s policies?
    • Do you work with someone who makes racist, sexist, and misogynistic comments only to say “I’m joking” when called out on it?
      • Does your company handle it or look the other way? How does that make you feel?
      • In my experience, restaurants are horrible places to work when it comes to sexism and power-distance.
        • Do you work in one? Have things changed?
    • Do you feel companies do enough to mitigate conflict in the workplace?
      • Personally, I don’t think so, but I worked in restaurants.
      • If you work somewhere you feel handles conflict well, what are some of their practices?
