Privileges
-Age : I am in the same age group as the participants that I am observing
-Gender: The field site I am studying will be mainly girls
-Family: My sister is my main observant
-Environment: I am able to go to the site whenever I need to
-Freedom: I can ask anything and they in return can say anything
-Education Level: I have the knowledge needed to interpret information and compare
The privileges I have obtained were all given to me from birth. My age group and education level go hand in hand for relating to my participants. We are all in college so we are about the same age. Since I am a girl and the subculture I chose is dealing with a softball team, I will be surrounded by other girls which will ease any awkwardness or tension dealing with the environment in which I will be observing. My sister is my main observant so it seems like I have a lot of room to move with the subject, meaning that we are close enough to ask and answer any questions.
