What are some the benefits and limitations to using interview as a research methodology?

Using the textbook and Argosy Online Library, write a 5-7 page paper using APA standards for citation of sources that focuses on the following:

Interview two different individuals regarding their positions in society. Analyze their responses regarding:

  1. Identify each person’s class, race, and gender.
  2. What role has class, race, and gender played in their      lives? How do you see these stratifiers as playing a role, even if the      interviewee is unaware of it?
  3. Apply one of the sociological perspectives      (structural-functional, social-conflict, or symbolic-interaction) to the      individuals’ lives. Why did you choose this particular perspective? How      does it explain each person’s life and life choices?
  4. What are some the benefits and limitations to using      interview as a research methodology?
  5. Analyze each person’s components of culture (language,      symbols, material objects, and behaviors) and relate them to his/her      stratified position in society.
