Answer to Question 2

The word ethnographic means portrait of a people.
Descriptive data collection methods would not tend to answer this research question. The word ethnographic means portrait of a people.
Although discovering the lived experience of what it is like to be in a certain culture would be useful information, phenomenology does not create a portrait of the culture. The word ethnographic means portrait of a people.
Structured interviews may provide some useful information, but would not necessarily result in a verbal portrait of the culture because the subjects would not have told their own story. The word ethnographic means portrait of a people.
