Regarding one of the research methods for chapter 13, Ethnography has been one that has most intrigued me. Through performing ethnography, the researcher observes behavior in its natural setting. I believe being able to physically be present while performing research is essential for collecting valuable research. Even when collecting data from a particular research group, the researcher may go undercover to collect data. I feel that many researchers who want to physically want to be apart of their own research may choose an ethnographic approach. I think that an interesting research question that I would want to research would be, What are the communication practices of athletes during a baseball game. I feel that it would be both interesting and fun to be apart of this type of research. there are hundreds of ways baseball players communicate amongst each other. The method I would choose to answer my research question would be ethnography.
