¶ … Paul Atkinson when it comes to the apparent pollution that has occurred when it comes to the topic of auto-ethnography and the definition of the same. At the onset, Atkinson is lauding the work of fellow scholar Anderson and that person's critique of the "tendencies" and patterns that are occurring when it comes to how auto-ethnography is defined, encapsulated and analyzed.

Five of the main approaches to qualitative research design include narrative research, phenomenology, grounded theory, ethnography, and case studies (Creswell & Poth, 2018). This paper will focus exclusively on two of those qualitative research designs, grounded theory and ethnography, to showcase the strengths and weaknesses of
Sociology research review and critique: "Boyz to Men" Anoop Nayak's 2003 sociological study "Boyz to Men: masculinities, schooling and labour transitions in de- industrial times" examines the adaptation (or lack thereof) of a representational group working-class British young men to a changing labor economy. Life in Britain has been profoundly altered due to shifts in the class structure. There is a dearth of stable factory jobs and a shift to "service
