Ethnography, like history, is an end in itself: a deeply rooted proclivity, which in Western civilization goes back to the Greeks, to perpetuate the culture of a group—or, to put it more precisely, to preserve for the future the collective deeds and accomplishments of a social group.
The reason for this is that ethnography is fundamentally an exercise in descriptive integration: namely, the specification of a corpus of data whose parts are interrelated so that when alterations occur in one sector of the whole other sectors are affected in discernible ways.
Thus a descriptive ethnography is a statement of cultural consensus, a general statement of the rulers of behavior that "ought to be followed" in order to provide for the continuity of the system as a distinct social entity and how it is related to other systems.
