Document Summary
Why. (why are people doing things they do) How. (related to process, how did what happen come to happen) Now that we have a question ( why do certain ethnic groups settle in certain areas around cities), we need to go from a big t theory to a little t theory. First we have to identify a big t theory. We have selected weber since he adds a cultural element. Based on his approach, we must develop a hypothesis (theory) that could potentially answer the question. Generalizable if random sample. (take results from study and assume it applies to population as a whole. ) Tuskegee experiment, lied about testing penicillin vaccine, gave them syphilis and never gave them cure, just observed the difference between men that had syphilis and men that did not.
