ethnography (Digital world).

Ethnography - The branch of anthropology that provides
scientific description of individual human societies.

Anthropology - The Social Science that studies the origins and social
relationships of human beings.

Social Science - The brance of Science that studies society and the
relationships of individual within a society.

Science - A particular branch of scientific knowledge.


Don't be puzzled seeing all these words of definition. I am not a student of anthropology but the one who is interested in knowing "relationship of human beings/individuals within society".

As I was surfing the Internet, I was strucked by this clip which dealt with "Digital ethnography" (Dudes interested in Web 2.0 may want to have a look at this link).

We soon be talking about "Society" as conceived by Plato,Aristotle,Augustine, Aquinas,Immanuel Kant, Rene Descardes and Jean paul sartre.

Why not we take a contemporary view of our society?. We will try our best to cover that aspect as well.
