Week 2

Being a freshman male at BSU, I continuously wonder why myself and my fellow peers do things the way we due. So I thought, “If I have to do this assignment, why not do it on something that I’m interested in.” I should have a fairly substantial advantage, because I fit the criteria for the subculture I want to investigate. On the same hand though it could prove to be a disadvantage if I can’t open my eyes to see more than what I normally perceive. I feel that the best place to perform my field work would be in the dorm complexes (dorm rooms, study areas, lounges, and food courts). Also, I think that going to sports complexes and concerts could help to provide broader evidence for the study. In the dorms I expect to find messy, cluttered rooms. They’ll probably smell and have half eaten food strewn about.

  1. What exactly are you researching? Dorm life? Have you thought of any specific questions of interest you want to find data on my surveys or interviews of kids on campus? I think that it is a good idea but getting more specific would probably help you out a lot.
