Unobtrusive observation on the word "fuck" with friends and family:
Fuck was often used by the males of the family when expressing disappointment or disregard for authority. It was often used in an informal and casual setting with light emphasis on the word when it came to disappointment and strong emphasis when it came to anger. I noticed early on that the males of the family would curse more with each other than in the presence of females. When with women and girls, they not only changed their speaking tone and mannerisms, they also became quieter in conversation.
The males also demonstrated similar behavior amongst friends. Age was not a dependent factor on using "fuck" as they would use to speak of intercourse, not caring, or showing remorse or disbelief. Examples would include: "I fucking feel so bad for him." "I fucked her pretty good." "Fuck yeah buddy." The last phrase was often used in terms of agreement.
The males when agreeing with each other and desiring to seem more approachable, relatable, and easy going, would use "fuck" to express their comfort levels and nonchalant-less on the subject matter. Furthermore, they would express their feelings more heavily with "fuck" than with ordinary words that would typically replace "fuck" such as "heck," "hell," "really," and "had sex." When using informal speech, "fuck" seemed to be heavily emphasized to show connection and comfort. This was also the same but to...
Some examples would include: "Who fucking cares?," "She's such a fucking loser.," "Fuck!" They were also more complex in how they used fuck as it relates to their speech. With the males, they used fuck to relate a direct feeling or action. With females it was more about declaring the opposite or supporting or emphasizing an opinion.
The same can be said with the female friends. The females when using fuck were more trying to please and support the other female than actually relay any sort of comfort or connection. Both the females in the group of friends and family rarely said "fuck" in front of the males, even when provoked to anger. It seems the word "fuck" is still a bit taboo within society and especially amongst unisex groups. Male and female groups are too preoccupied with publically appearing a certain way that they do not use "fuck" unless they are very comfortable with each other.
That brings up the final observation. The mixed group of both males and females showed reduced signs of the use of the word "fuck." The only occasions where it was used was when either person had little to no respect for the other person at the time or were trying very hard to connect, relate, or support. Two examples are as follows: mother was angry at father and proceeded to say "Fuck you." To him in a brief fit…
There are also ethical issues pertaining to the observational method that will be discussed later in this paper. Experience surveys are widely used throughout qualitative research studies, due to their focus on bringing greater insights into the study through the interviewing of experts in chosen fields. There is also a strong focus on how to gain insights of experts in the future definition of the methodology being created, and how
