to make sure everyone thatistakingpart Ishappyabout doingit. Also, make sure thattheirstories
are anonymousistheywantedthemtobe as youneedto respectthem.
Couldyouface any problemswhentryingto researchsocial actionissues?If so,isthere away to
overcome these?
It couldturn outnot a lot of people wantstotake my surveyorcome to myfocus groupsto talk,
thiswouldresultinnoresearch.To overcome this, Ihave tomake sure that myquestionsare not
to personal soitdoesn’tscare off anyone andthat the focusgroupsare casual so it makespeople
feel comfortabletotalk.Iwouldmake sure the questionIaskare useful soI can actuallyuse them
for myresearch.
