Ethnography

• In an attempt to stray away from self made decisions about the portrayal of women on reality tv, we wanted to remain as objective as possible for the ethnography.

• We created a hypothetical situation where the 5 of us would sit in restaurants where we would have open access to televisions. Such as Applebee’s or Chili’s and others alike.

• We would make observations from a distance as we watch the restaurant goers react to the reality programs displayed on the tv’s in front of them.

• We would record their reactions, facial expressions and whether or not they were even paying attention.

• The data we collect would be broken down by the variations in tribes: age, gender, familial composition, race, etc.
