Ethnomethodology is understood through '''Breaching''' and '''Accounts'''.

'''1. The "Invisible Rule" (Breaching)''':
How do we know "What the rules are" if they aren't written down?
* Garfinkel told his students to "Go home and act like a polite boarder" (ask for permission to use the bathroom, pay for food).
* Their parents were **Furious** and **Confused**.
* This "Broke" the "Unspoken Rule" of "Intimacy."
* By "Breaking the rule," you "Make it Visible." Ethnomethodology shows that "Social Order" is "Fragile" and requires "Constant Work" to maintain.

'''2. "Making Sense" (Accounting)''':
Life is "Chaotic," but we "Describe it" as "Orderly."
* If a person "Starts screaming" in a library, everyone looks for an **Account**.
* "Oh, he's a Performance Artist." "Oh, he's having a Medical Crisis."
* Once we have an "Account," the "Chaos" becomes "Sensible" and "Order" is restored.
* We are all "Professional Sense-Makers."

'''3. The "Stock of Knowledge" (The Obvious)''':
* When you say "The sky is blue," you don't "Define" what 'Sky' or 'Blue' is.
* You "Assume" the other person "Already knows."
* If we had to "Define everything," we could never finish a sentence.
* "Common Sense" is the "Invisible Foundation" of every "High-Level" science and philosophy.

'''The 'Tick-Tack-Toe' Experiment'''': Garfinkel played a game with students. After they made a move, he "Erased it" and "Moved their piece" to a different spot. The students were "Enraged." This showed that even a "Simple Game" relies on a "Moral Trust" that we follow the "Shared Rules." Society is a "Moral Agreement" to "Play the game" correctly.
