Opener on Perspective

What are the benefits of perspective?

It allows you to remove your bias and see things from a different angle. It's not that any one perspective is better than others; it's best to see things from multiple perspectives.

Why do the rules of ethnography exist and why are they important?

If you don't acknowledge your bias, it can influence your work and mislead people who don't suspect bias. It's important to have an infromant in the culture so that you can be more accurate and have an insider's perspective. Fianlly, if you don't tell your subjects that they're being studied, they will feel manipulated and insulated when they find out.
