Name Date Ethnographic Observation I set out to find a place to begin my observations‚ not knowing what to fully expect‚ what I may find. So I decided to look around at what is close to my home that isn’t a place I frequent or have even visited at all. Then it came to me‚ the Starbucks that is only about a mile away is a perfect place for me to observe subjects that I would consider different from myself‚ seeing as how I consider such obscene prices for coffee ridiculous.

Ethnographic Observation I chose to do my Ethnographic Observation at the Hare Krishna temple in Spanish Fork‚ Utah. I chose this location because I thought it would be the best place to observe different behavior and cultures. It is also close to my home‚ and I had never had a chance to explore it.

Starbucks is a place where people just go to talk and read‚ with the university being nearby I expected to see college students studying. Starbucks is a well known coffee shop where you can drink you coffee in a relaxing atmosphere. Today is February 15 the day after Valentines Day. I thought to see flirtatious couples together‚ drinking coffee and maybe even sharing pie. They could be on there

On the morning of the 2nd‚ my group and I observed behavior regarding ageism and adultism at the Starbucks location in the Circle. It was difficult for me at first to distinguish what sort of behavior could fall under either social construct.
