Ethnography: Studying culture at first hand long enough to detect patterns, multiple perspectives and methods

Who Am I?
I am Khalid Alnowmsi, a 20 years old individual who adheres to the principle that
humanity comes before everything. Every human being irrespective of their caste, creed, racial
origin, or cultural background, must be treated equally and with equal respect. I am a person who
believes that a human being must be judged by his/her action and not by his/her birth. I do think
that education is a way of achieving success. A person who has got education can adjust to every
situation in life. An educated person is respected by all and education is the ultimate weapon to
fight again all the injustices prevailing in the society. I am an avid student of information
technology and I think that the knowledge that I am acquiring through my course is going to help
me a lot in the recent future.
I am a Saudi Arabian with a great affinity towards religion. I have been brought up in a
family in which the members are liberal-minded yet they adhere to the religious principles and
social conventions. I do not consider myself to be black or white but as a simple man and my
parents have taught me that it is never right to judge a person always by his/her appearance
because appearance can be disguise. I am a person who is always willing to go the extra mile for
helping a friend. I am a family man too, who is always keen to take care of my family members
in times of their need. I value the religious beliefs of others but simultaneously believe that the
religion which I follow is the right one for me as its philosophy and ideologies have helped me a
lot in shaping my own character. I am an ardent follower of Islam and I adhere to the acceptable
principles of Quran. But I don’t think that any religion in the world can prosper by treating any
other religion as inferior. As a human being I believe that there cannot be any holy war and this
is because the terms holy and war are antithesis. There cannot be any war that can be termed
holy as there is no holiness in claiming the lives of innocent people by brutal means. I value the
principle of “live and let live” and my parents have taught me to be accommodative by nature
and they have taught me that it is only by respecting others that one can obtain respect from
others.
Though I am a religious man too, it would be a folly to think that I tend to confine myself
within the religious boundaries and thereby sever my ties from all other social responsibilities
and activities. I must admit that I am a great lover of video games and there is hardly any first
person shooter game or car racing game that I haven’t played. Although sometimes my father
gets annoyed with my addiction to video games, I can’t help myself but look for new games
almost every day to keep myself updated about the realm of video games. And I must also admit
that I have...
