Document Summary
Case study a detailed study of something, someone but it"s only one case. The advantage that you learn a lot about the individual case you are looking at. Limitations is that it"s just one case and can"t prove anything. Ethical research: voluntary participation/ informed consent tell exactly what the project is all about. Take notes even if you record / make a life history chart. What education did father and mother have. ** try to get information on the family, education and work, and any other details in the person"s life that seems important. Idea that people from different generation were different/ deciding the nature of a generation [people come to adulthood in the same time and circumstance generation is question of the rhythm of history] Formative period not the same for every person. Generation different from others: born at the same time, came to adulthood during the 60ies, survived the same things (on a wide scale)
