a careful examination of the ethnics of an area. Ethnics are the mores and customs; what the people believe. Ethnic surveys are done to find out what the people like most and what they like least and to discover what they consider important about their own area or way of life. It is done by going out on a broad-scale basis and sampling enough of the population to find out what the current ethnic is or what the people's basicethnics really are. —Cleaning Course Glossary (Approved August 1990)
