Ethnography

A potentially interesting ethnography would involve the investigating of small isolated communities. The idea would involve spending time with these groups of people in order to see how they function as a community without the aid of any large business. For instance, the target community would consist of around 100 homes with no large stores, such as Walmart, within a feasible traveling vicinity. An example community would be a small community in Northern Canada that is isolated from much modern technological accessibilities. The ethnographer would have to integrate themselves into the community in order to not only provide support, but gather insight in determine how these people rely on the skills of others to live accordingly. 

This ethnography would help people understand the lives of members of isolated communities in addition to helping communities function on a larger scale. The interdependence among the inhabitants would provide a curious insight into informal matters, similar to the Black King's business in Gang Leader for a Day. Although no official business contracts are drawn within these communities, there are a plethora of informalities that drive the way these cultures operate. In essence, the understanding gained from this ethnography would be interesting and potentially draw awareness to these communities.
