Story Telling

EMIC Perspective
insider, inductive, conveys the idea that only members of a culture possess valid knowledge of their own language usage. As Pike defined it, an emic unit is any physical or mental item regarded as meaningful, real, accurate, appropriate, coherent, or relevant by the culture members themselves. Thus, the emic approach to research always starts from the inside of a culture. By studying the accounts, explanations, and social action that are meaningful to a group of people, researchers can better understand how symbolic communication varies from one situation to the next.

ETIC Perspective
An etic approach (sometimes referred to as outsider, deductive, or top-down) uses as its starting point theories, hypothesis, perspectives, and concepts from outside of the setting being studied Etic constructs are the conceptual schemes and categories regarded as accounts, descriptions, and analyses

expressed in terms of meaningful and appropriate by the community of scientific observers

It is fruitless to attempt to indoctrinate a superannuated canine with innovative maneuvers. All articles that coruscate with resplendence are not truly auriferous. Where there are visible vapors having their prevalence in ignited carbonaceous materials, there is conflagration. Cadavers are incapable of yielding any testimony

Emotional and Intellectual Memory

An intellectual memory receives and stores up the abstract and universal.

A priest offered a Nun a lift.
She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.

The priest nearly had an accident.

After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg

The nun said, Father, remember Psalm 129?

The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.

The nun once again said, Father, remember Psalm 129?

The priest apologized Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, Go forth and seek, further up,

you will find glory.
