Week 9- Post 9

The hardest part of the research was finding sources that actually pertained to golf course employees and stereotypes associated with them. Also, I had trouble finding people’s opinion’s about employees that came from sources other than interviews and surveys. I finally was able to find a blog posting on the Internet that gave plenty of opinions about golf course employees, both negative and positive. The easiest part of the research was finding sources on the BSU’s database. The database was by far the most helpful resource I used. If I could start over, I would choose an entirely different subculture, preferably one that’s easier to find academic research. However, on the same token, through the research I did for my subculture, I learned quite a few details that I didn’t already know. The blog posting that I’ve done previously weren’t too helpful because I never really looked back at any of my blog postings. I was able to remember most of the research that I found. I do think that the blogs will help in my mini-ethnography because most of the information that I want to put in my paper is already in my blogs. Therefore it will be much easier to look back at the blogs and write the info in my final paper rather than trying to remember it all and starting from scratch.
