Ethnography: as I read the articles from the hurricane Maria to the one explaining how ethnography is harmful and dehumanizing,there’s different point of views to enthography.

first I like to start off by saying the way enthography is very harmful because it’s like using humans as tools or subjects. For example, The researcher on Hurricane Maria in Puerto rico was devastated as she had to do field notes as she thought of visiting her mother. She describes how the hurricane washed away the vibrancy of the land and the people in it. It felt so dehumanizing to just write about your homeland being unrecognizable by a natural force. Another thing about enthography is the way that colonizers feel like it’s their birth given right to just treat other races as subjects for their own benefits. Many of the researches are predatory and bizarre to mention. Decolonizing enthography is a hard task but it’s tangible if the colonizers chooses to acknowledge the harm in their research.

in Comp two I learned how to be more confident in my writing skills and actually learn the MLA format more in depth. I also learned that writing is not easy as I thought it would be. I struggled a lot being a bit more intentional in my writing. Also writing a thesis is the worst thing to me but anywayssssss I enjoyed both of my professors and my cohort mates. Thank you for the wonderful time we had together.
