Moss
A I read through Moss’s paper I began to see something that I did not exactly agree on. The part about ethnography being very biased made me tinge inside. I do not see why anyone would choose to basically lie on thier research just because they do not want to offend anyone of the community that they conducted studies on. I think that if your research shows something, even if bad, it should be brought out. If you really care about the communitiy that you studied you would bring out anything negative that was happening so that maybe that community could fix it and no longer have that as a negative. By hiding it, you only hinder the community from flourishing in the right direction if you did not conduct all your studies in an honest manner.

This excerpt just helped reinforce what i had in mind from Moss’s paper about being honest. This excerpt helped show that it is important to not only take observations from your own research question but to also just take notice of the community as a whole. Honesty is very important to a research so that others are able to get a true perspective on the community that was studied.
