Question

Ethnography is evaluated through the principal of falsifiability. True or False ?

Answer 1

Ethnography is the study of a culture. The qualitative methods used for the study help us construct theories about social processes, as to their reason of occurrence and their respective consequences.
The theories, thus constructed, must be consistently logical, be explanatory or predict with statistical significance, be parsimonious i.e, it must use the least number of variables or incorporate the least number of assumptions. In addition, the theory must be Falsifiable. Philosopher Karl Popper, suggests that the property of falsifiability makes the theory testable.

Thus, ethnography is evaluated by the principle of falsifiability.
