Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. Field notes: May consist of daily events, a personal journal, and any other notes.
2. Audio and video recordings: They are invaluable but in some instances may be resisted by the studied population, or their use may be restricted for identity protection or other ethical concerns.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. Deductive research starts with a hypothesis and gathers relevant (etic) data.
2. It is more likely to focus on fieldwork that incorporates quantitative data.
3. Inductive research does not begin with a hypothesis and is more open-ended in its goals.
4. It uses emic dataderived from what insiders say and believe about their culture rather than external categories.
