Non-Western Theories and Your Research Paper
Taking into account the principles, values, subject matter, and research methods of one of the non-Western schools of thought, answer the following:
· If you adopted the principles and methods of one of these non-Western schools of thought, how would this affect how you frame your research topic? Would you be able to use the topic you have chosen in the same way? In other words, would the non-Western school of thought align with your topic as you have currently conceptualized it? Or would you need to address the topic differently because of different values or practices within the non-Western approach?
