CMN 2101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Deductive Reasoning, Grounded Theory, Cherry Picking
Document Summary
Looking into any historical event, what makes it different than other approaches is that it uses theory heavily, conceptual framework to organize and structure work. Comparative and historical differences: historical- change over time/changes - e. g. how people described a social event or movement, looking into it- multiple interpretations, connection between different events. E. g. disneyland- what happened, one location, or one institituion. Comparative- look into changes and compare- look into how media and different researchers have talked about similar events in different locations in the world. Not only looking into it, but changes as well. History is an art not a science*- changed their writing style, a lot of evolutions on how people focus on historical events or on a story. Most people say it fall under qualitative* which is true - how you can explain or describe a situation or an issue or a case- verbal interpretation.
