Don't you remember?

Although we haven't specifically addressed it yet, it's important to note that our methods involved utilizing the imperfect human memory—no one recorded all the questions they were asked each day. There were certainly some questions that people simply forgot they were asked, and some that people assumed they were asked. If we were to make this into a more formal method and to write a proper ethnography, we would have to focus it in one culture or society and record the questions we were asked each day. In this more formalized manner, we would be able to create a fuller picture of the way in which people construct identities for themselves and for strangers in their lands. However, as a small project, we can still see that the questions people ask and even the way these questions are answered are a valuable part of the identity-forming process.
