Primary Dependent Variable: Again, without it being an experimental study, the terms dependent and independent variability lose some of their meaning. In general, the 'outcome' measures for this study consisted of the answers provided to the interview questions, particularly concerning how families define the concept of family time, how they engage in the concept of family time, what they expect of family time, and what the actual reality of their experiences of family time are.
Analytical or Statistical Technique Used:
The data in this study was predominantly qualitative and as such was analyzed using qualitative methods, including thematic coding, the principles of grounded theory and theoretical saturation.
Primary Finding:
The primary finding of the study is that the concept of 'family time,' as it is currently being employed in the literature, is not an accurate reflection of the actual experiences of family time.

Eurocentrism and History Of Amerindians Eurocentrism and the History of Amerindians When Christopher Columbus sailed across the Atlantic and reached the Americas, he was convinced that he actually reached India. Because of his conviction, Columbus dubbed the peoples of the Americas "Indians." It was the beginning of European and later Euro-American myth-making in describing Native Amerindians and the shared histories of peoples who have lived in the American continent for the last
If there is a tendency among readers to view Malcolm X as a radical figure, especially where compared to peaceful counterparts like Dr. King, the autobiography helps to show racism in a light that makes Malcolm X extremely sympathetic, or at least a rational product of his time. Narratives from his upbringing, especially in his father's work as a black revolutionary and in his family's constant state of moving to escape threats, are especially demonstrative of
