outline a proposed philosophical paradigm that might form the basis of your methodology.  To help you achieve this, identify what the dominant philosophical paradigm is in your topic area. For example, is it positivist that uses mainly quantitative, statistical, and mathematical research methods? Or constructionist/interpretivist that uses mainly qualitative research methods that rely on words and meanings rather than quants? Think about whether you might decide to follow the dominant paradigm which suggests continuity and consistency, or whether you might want to choose an alternative paradigm that challenges the dominant perspective. Explain why you wish to make this choice.
