Categories
There are several categories in the execution of interviews in the process of collecting data. This interview falls under the category of individual interview. This is because of its nature and coding method thus a reflection of face-to-face encounter between the interviewer and the interviewee. The interviewer in this category focuses on the achievement of in-depth information in relation to the research questions and objectives. The researcher also focuses on the description of the experience of the participant with reference to the military encounter thus the opportunity to understand the developments and interactions within the military context. This category of interview is vital for the enhancement of understanding of the relevant events and concepts in relation to the research questions (Hamilton, 2011).
Themes
The script focuses on the illustration of various themes and subject matters. One of the themes in relation to the military experience is the theme of dedication. This is evident through training and camp experiences of the participant and other trainees within the military camps. The soldiers spend most of their times in the battlefields thus neglecting family responsibilities in order to serve their nations. This is a reflection of dedication, hard work, and passion by the soldiers with the aim of achieving their goals and objectives. It is also essential to note on the aspect of economic crisis as one of the essential factors contributing to other individuals joining the military in the United States. The researcher adopts and integrates quality coding to illustrate these themes effectively and efficiently in relation to the research questions.
This memorandum is essential in highlighting the objectives and goals in the execution of the research. This concept of the interview is also vital in hooking the reader to the transcript thus effective in the achievement of its goals and objectives.
