Post 10
I haven't chosen exactly how I want to structure my mini ethnography together yet, but I do know that I want to inform the reader of different stereotypes right off the bat. So, I guess it will kind of be thematic in a sense of addressing the stereotype and then giving information on it. I think that whoever is looking up my subculture will probably have the same general thoughts about the team that most everyone will. Hopefully, what I put out there is helpful. I'm going to tell where I got my information, but I'm not going to jump right in with who my main informant is. I think that if I start by telling my story and observations and then let the reader know who my sources is, it may not lead to any bias. I want to talk about why I chose my subculture because I am really interested in it, and what my initial thought about it was before I began my research. I do want to take the reader through everything chronologically so that it may help them understand a little better or so that they can see all the observing I did to get my conclusion. Since most of my research and information comes from observation, that is what most of what I write about will entitle. I did talk to people and took some interviews so I will definitely add those when it seems the most appropriate. I haven't chosen exactly how I want to end the piece, but I know I want it to be something interesting and something that not many people would know about the team to kind of bring everything I wrote together. The structure that I think I am going to choose will be the best because I can't just mention a stereotype or random information without any backup. If I don't structure everything thematically then it will be a mess of random information without any connections.
