At first I did not have any courage to ask them I simply thought I was interrupting them and invading their personal space The…

Salado has many siblings who are all still living in her home country of Kenya. She believes that her siblings wouldn’t move to another country, because her parents are so strict.

He suggests in its stead “inquisitive observation” or “participant questioning,” which describes the rigorous and…

(2011), a neighborhood is defined as a “community of place within a larger community” where residents “share certain characteristics, values, mutual interests, or styles of living” (Ashman, 2011, p. 341).
