Case studies emphasize detailed contextual analysis of a limited number of events or conditions and their relationships and many researchers have used the case study research method across a variety of disciplines. For example, social scientists have made wide use of this qualitative research method to examine contemporary real-life situations and as a way of providing the basis for the application of ideas and the extension of methods.

No matter how religion and spirituality are defined -- and many
However, what about the classics written by whites, that detail the beauty and the pain of being an American. For example, Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn would be incomplete without telling the story of Jim. (Ellison, p. 392). The world would not have the amazing coming-of-age story to Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee if blacks had not been part of the fabric of America. While that contribution may seem

The June 2010 change to the manner in which dividends were deemed payable shifted the requirement from a measure of profit to a balance sheet-based formula in which dividends were only payable if assets outstripped liabilities, essentially.
