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.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
