Document Summary

You can"t base social policy on the findings or opinions of one person: small samples are untrustworthy and bias because you want to collect as much information as you possibly can. Establishing relationships: you have to establish relationships with the people you are questioning - the better the relationship, the more willing they are to share. Empathetic interaction approach/explanations: key to understanding an actors point of view. When you listen to people speak, you display your own thoughts and emotions into the recording of the information and what is heard: case studies - Have a bias that is built into how they view the world and the world that"s actually around them. However this view may be wrong: it may have no scope.
