One abides by efficiency, while the other flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So as we take into account the definitions of a hunter and a gatherer, we learn also what it means in the context of collecting research, and data. In an archival setting we mentioned how a hunter is one who might be going to the archives with something in mind already when searching for sources; searching interminably for the suitable answers. In contrast, the gatherer is one who is less hasty, and \u2018accumulates\u2019 sources in such a setting. I imagine a hunter to be a digger, while the gather to be a harvester.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/l0ExoFKNJ64AxcWsw\/giphy.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source: Giphy<\/p>\n<p>For me personally, I feel like I am a hunter, because I have no time to be a gatherer. When it comes to writing an essay, I tend to skim for exactly what I need, rather than take my time to collect and go through everything. I even see a similar technique when I study for tests. Due to a lack of time, I tend to go straight to the study guides because they the most concise, and direct way to study, like a hunter. But the ideal way to study is to be like a gatherer, one who takes all old quizzes, homework assignments, and studies each and every one of them. But this is not likely going to be the case for a typical college student, with tons of obligations, and no time for such a way of studying.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/ejKpjEfcPuYve\/giphy.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Source: Giphy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The definition of a Hunter is one that searches determinedly for someone or something.
