I have decided to use archival research as my research method. I will analyze studies that sociologists have made in order to develop a better understanding of poverty and its impact on society as a whole. I think that this type of research method is perfect fit for me for a number of reasons: I would not be able conduct a survey because I do not know many people living in poverty, and those that are probably do not have access to participate in internet surveys. Secondly, naturalistic research may involve me watching others living in poverty, which is something that I do not come in contact with every day and I would not be comfortable asking complete strangers questions about their economic status. Through archival research, I will have access to information that I would not have been able to collect on my own, making it a lot easier for me to delve into the issue at hand.
