Question 1

Which of the following is not a feature of ethnographic methods?&#10;A)it require an empirical approach&#10;B)need to remain open&#10;C)grounding observed phenomena in the fields&#10;D)not an open ended approach

Accepted Answer

Ethnographic methods are characterized by their open-ended approach, allowing researchers to explore phenomena as they occur naturally within their specific contexts. This flexibility is essential for understanding the complexities of social interactions and cultural practices. Therefore, stating that ethnography is not an open-ended approach contradicts one of its fundamental principles.
