Studies on corruption by using first person narrative method is virtually absent in the existing literature. Most of the studies in this genre deal with health issues, politics and folklore, never with corruption.If first person narrative method is useful to unearth social realities, then why it is not very much popular in the social sciences? It is only found in literature! But why? The anthropologists and sociologists who use participant observation may also try with first person narrative.In my case I have found it very useful to fight against corruption as well as in unfolding the different layers of this social phenomena.So, I ask the question.
Many thanks Jenny for your provocative reply.I have up voted it and also flagged it.I now realize that lack of transparency about our methods often make the social scientists vulnerable to criticisms from the field of physical sciences and the social scientists deserve this criticism! First person narrative may apparently seem subjective, but who does not employ subjectivity in choosing problems, selecting methods and areas of interest? Thank you Jenny for your perceptive reply.Let us be on touch.
Dear @Abhijit, today is International Anti-Corruption Day, December 9th! I do find an approach by social networks more effective to fight corruption! This paper is fine resource for : Revealing the Rot: How to use social media to expose corruption and mismanagement at both local and national levels!
