In "Japanese Ghosts Don't Have Feet" by Liza Dalby

Answer:

So according to the article that I have read , during the research field work of Liza Dalby , an anthropologist's researcher went very wrong on her research because she didn't clearly orient the people in the area if who is she being there , a researcher , a guest or just a visitor that created a confusion to the family who was accommodating here.

And also , she was not familiar with the culture but still she proceeded her questionnaire that resulted into a more serious matter. And the only missing why it happened was Intercultural Communication . It is the verbal and nonverbal interaction between people from different cultural backgrounds. Since she don't know the culture their , she should ask any cultural informations and background their.

So , if you will go to a place that is not familiar to you and also you will conduct a research its important to know more what kind of people living their and what culture they have for your safety and successful in research
