Assignment- Cultural Anthropology: Mini Ethnography Paper
Length: 6 pages.
Write your ethnography on a reality show like Jersey Shore, Shahs of Sunset, the Kardashians, Big Brother. You'll want to write about the general culture of the people or you could focus more specifically on a social dynamic - language, gender, ethnicity, etc. Are there power differences between the cast? Do people dress a certain way? If so, why? Is the show targeted for a certain gender/class/race demographic? If you choose this option, in the conclusion, you must reflect on whether you think the show is exploitative and what it says about our culture that so many people follow these shows. You'll probably need to watch several episodes to get a full picture. You don't need to watch more than a season.
