What is ethnography? 

"Ethnography is the recording and examination of a society or society, generally taking into account member perception and bringing about a composed record of an individuals, spot or institution".(Definition taken from the Glossary of Terms composed by Simon Coleman and Bob Simpson) 

Customarily, ethnographies have concentrated top to bottom on a limited and quantifiable gathering of individuals, for example, the Nuer, or a specific North Indian town. Today, they are pretty much as liable to concentrate on a specific part of contemporary social life, for example, new regenerative advances, the implications of the cloak, virtual correspondence, or being a Milwall football club fan. The idea of ethnography has been created inside of social human studies; yet the term is presently now and then utilized as a part of a looser route in for instance sentiment and statistical surveying. 

Why are ethnographies critical? 

Ethnographies as writings offer great understanding into how social anthropologists attempt their hands on work, what it is similar to experience day by day life in a domain that may be at first new, and the political, monetary and social progress included in gathering 'information'. By giving particular, top to bottom contextual investigations, they can serve as astounding means for educating about worldwide issues, for example, environmental change, movement and globalization. Indeed, even where ethnographies concentrate on a specific practice -, for example, a religious function, or a culinary custom – the anthropologist will ordinarily put the practice in its full connection to give an all encompassing, rich and multi-faceted account.
