I think what you are trying to do is impressive and comendable. A study of this nature could take a long time though, as it is about understanding and capturing changes in attitudes and thinking...a very long process! To ensure that you achieve what you set out to do, you need to have your parameters very clearly defined, and be specific in your questions and the information you want to gather. You will have to consciously avoid the danger of goung off into tangents when new and intersting informtion, which may or may not have relavance, continues to present it self as you start this journey of discovery.
Congratulations darling! I am proud to be you mom!
Hey Nafisa - I think you need to update this blog every two days or so and then we can keep track of your process and progress.
