ethno-methodology
Ethnomethodology is a sociological approach that studies how people make sense of their everyday lives through common, practical methods. It examines the daily routines, conversations, and interactions that people use to create a shared understanding of their social world. By observing these practices, ethnomethodologists uncover the often unnoticed rules and procedures that maintain social order and help individuals navigate their environment. Essentially, it focuses on understanding the "methods" people employ to produce and sustain social reality in routine situations.
