Sociology Evaluation of Method

One good aspect that my method had was that it allowed me to soak up very in pro rigness data, plenty were able to open up to me as it was un incorporated interviews, I did fuck off a conundrum with this though, as I didnt have prep ard questions it was hard to compare my participants points of views afterwards and by talking so in depth about a pure subject like divorce things could get out of hand, one of my participants withal began to cry as she became very emotional.The location to do my interviews in were varied, whatsoever were good and some were bad, one of them I had to do in my populate and privacy was hard to come by.In my opinion my results are unreliable, save I believe that when talking to mickle about something as mystic as this, results will alship canal be this as people tactile sensation awkward and dont want a stranger, or somebody from outside of the family to contend their business.The participants I believe were the correct ones to interview and ha d enough experience and met with my criteria, the problem which I raise though was that I hadnt interviewed enough I only(prenominal) interviewed one of each that I wanted.I.e. ONE married join, ONE cohabiting couple etc.If I had interviewed more people my results would have been more representative, I hadnt sentiment of this until after.The sampling method I used I thought was appropriate people knew that they could confide in me and no problems arose with this.If I were to seize this project I would defiantly change my method, I would do structured interviews as I believe that for my content and analysis it would be a lot easier to compare and that it is also possible to get in depth data this way. I would also interview more people.Evaluation of findingsIn relation of my first aim, to find out whether divorce on the change magnitude is really instructn as a negative aspect of todays society I found that people do take divorce less seriously than before but they dont ready it less importance, I know this because nearly all of the couples I interviewed seemed slightly scared of divorce but would broadly speaking consider it, I have found that, on contrary to my beliefs people dont rush into marriages and provided get separate when they find that marriage isnt what they expected, couples straightaway tend to cohabit first so that when they do get divorce they know it is the right thing to do, and the only way out.They cohabit to study their relationship, in order to avoid divorce. Some couples do not join because of the threat of divorce. I found that people who are more spiritual see divorce as a problem. I also found that people feel divorce can affect mental health, respondents give tongue to that divorce is not good for your health.The resolves given for the rise of divorce including the particular that marriages are now based of love rather than expectations and the changing usance of women.In relation to my second aim, to find out th e main reason for more divorces I found that most people believe that it is receivable to women having more independence, less sexism. This was the one and only thing that all my participants had in common.My findings were similar to previous studies in this area such as Robert Chester who found that nuclear families would never stop existing he found that families would just change their forms. By having divorces this is what happens, children dont just stop having one of their parents, they still have both, the way in which families tend to be perceived just changes, cohabiting couples are on the up and so is divorce.People see divorce as something negative and positive at the same time, it affects you in both ways and people realise this, they also know that divorce can give them a second start in life when most of their rely is gone.What was interesting about my project was that I was able to research on something that causes hundreds and thousands of people heartbreak and dep ression everyday but is also seen as normal, I learnt a lot from doing this project, I used to think that people were just careless and got married and divorced as if it doesnt mean a thing, Ive found that this is not the case, although more people are getting divorced it doesnt mean that more people are getting married, people keep going up for themselves more nowadays, and despite my previous beliefs people DO see divorce as a problem, but also as something positive. By doing this project I have learnt a lot.
