Ethnography

What are benefits of emic and etic perspective?
Being an outsider it's easier to analyze behaviors and why they might be strange. Being an insider, you can analyze but at the same time, justify why people act certain ways.

- People can see why things are logical or not.
- Things that don't make sense can be explained.
- People of the culture will be open to you, they will understand that you're being creepy and you're just trying to learn about their culture.
