BOTT-O. Michael

While reading Bott i noticed that he used several different methodologies and field techniques to help him analyze his research. He spent time moving from household to household searching for answers of the particular families background by performing household Interviews. Something that I found particularly interesting was how Bott discussed economic ties among the members of a certain network. For instance, there are families who have much stronger ties to other relatives than they do with neighbors and friends. I feel that it also depends on the neighborhood you live in and the people you interact with. People of similar social class would be networking with others who do similar things and enjoy the same ideas or principles.
