Abstract :
We had first introduced the concept of
“Ethnography of enculturation” in our paper on generic
identity theory. We had also published two other papers
on ethnography, the gist of which can be understood to
enhance the readership experience of this paper. This is
however, not mandatory. We believe the “Ethnography of
enculturation” would constitute a very important concept
and component of twenty-first century social sciences
since it would give us an insight and understanding into
how humans are enculturated (or acculturated) as the
case may be, and how their identities are shaped in the
real-world. Ethnography is a very important qualitative
social science research technique, and encompasses not
just participant observation, but also the use of interviews
the use of questionnaires, focus group discussions,
surveys, literature review, and case studies, but also novel
techniques such as netnography, and fieldwork from a
distance. It also makes use of technology and audio-visual
aids as necessary. In any topic such as this, ethics would
be of paramount importance, and this topic is discussed
as well. This paper must also be understood in relation to
our papers on genetic identity and extended identity, and
all these papers are inter-linked in a continuous chain.
This paper could also provide us with a research
mechanism to better help us understand real-world
excesses like the rise of terrorism, and deviant and
aberrant behavior. It would therefore not only be an
important cog in the wheel in our mission of the
“globalization of science”, but would also amplify the
utility of social science research techniques in addressing
real-world issues and concerns.
