It must be noted that quantitative police detectives assign poetry to observations and produce info by counting and measuring things.  Further, this study did not use any counting and measuring of things.4. Is it a soft study?Yes, this is a qualitative study since the researcher did not make counts or assign numbers to his observations. however rather, the researcher gain access into the â€Å"life-world” of his subjects and staminate groups; that is, to discover their motivations, their sources of meaning, their emotions and other subjective aspects of their lives because it is only in d oing so that a researcher will be able to see, to describe, and to understand human behavior and social phenomena with greater depth.  In addition, the researcher employed a qualitative research method which is participatory ethnographic fieldwork (p.262)5.  Is it clearly written?Yes, it is clearly written as the researcher utilize the first person and base on his experiences and analysis6.  Assess the title.The title is somewhat timid though as the author employ a metaphor and one may not be totally familiar with â€Å"The Glass Phallus.”  So, one has to take the article thoroughly first before fellow feeling the meaning behind the title.7.  Assess the authors` affiliations.Not much of the authors` affiliations were include in the study except that he has lived in the research bea or community for pentad historic period as this is a participatory ethnographic fieldwork (p.262)8.  Assess the abstract.The abstract is clearly stated and includes the r equirement things to include in an abstract such as the subjects and locale of the study, design of the study, the results, and the conclusion.9.  Assess the references.The references used were all-around(prenominal) and suited to the given study.10.  Is there a centrality of blueprint between the introduction, method, and results?Yes, more or less there’s a centrality of purpose between the introduction, method, and results. But lesser centrality between introduction and method as the introduction is more of a myth about the boorish barroom, a nostalgic fiction of yesteryears as described in the introduction.  The method and results has more centrality as the author was able to connect the method used which is ethnographic fieldwork to the results of the study which is more qualitative.  The results of the study presented be ethnographic data which are the product of organized and sustained observation.11.  Critique the introduction according to:†t he books reviewThe authors’ review of literary works was conducted and integrated in the preaching part of the article although previous studies were not referred to by specific articles, the names of authors and domaination years were given. Moreover, the literature reported supported the selected qualitative method used in the study.†   study purposeThis study, â€Å"The Glass Phallus Pub (lic) Masculinity and Drinking in Rural New Zealand” by Hugh Campbell, rised the various directions in which pubs turn as a social site, where mannish business office is constructed in pastoral communities.  Another is to examine the way in which symbolic notions of rurality are built-in to the construction of gendered power in rural space.12.  Critiques the method according to†the specimen selectionThe sample of the study tribe was large (150-200) men who worked in work armed service industries, were farm workers, owned or managed small farm se rvice firms, or (a minority) were bachelor farmers.  Manual laborers on farms and in the farm service industries constituted the majority, hardly men from the agricultural petite bourgeoisie likewise were presented consistently.The participant sample selected basically on their surgery known as the after-work intoxication session.  The temporal parameters of after-work drinking strongly influenced which local men could join the pub (lic) performance of masculinity.  In addition to the fact that this study was the result of two periods of fieldwork within 5 years of ethnographic research, all the above mentioned criteria achieved the data colour required.†the study designA participatory ethnographic study apply formal and internal interviews was conducted to frame the design of the study (p.262). The method used was appropriate for this study as it sought to examine the various ways in which pubs operate as a social site, where male power is constructed in rural communities.  Also to examine the way in which symbolic notions of rurality are integral to the construction of gendered power in rural space.In addition, the qualitative interviews were undertaken to understand the experiences and all that they entail.†data appeal proceduresData hookup procedure used which was formal and informal interviews and were consistent with the purpose of the study since the study was a qualitative.  Moreover, 200 hours of participatory ethnographic fieldwork (in the pubs), made an level(p) greater abundance of informal discussion and talk with members of the community.†researcher’s roleThe researcher’s role is to conduct interviews (formal or informal) using the participatory ethnographic fieldwork.†the issue of timeThis study was through for approximately 5 years of living in the community. The researcher has through interviews and discussions not just in the pubs but besides in various locales such as sports clubs, churches, and willing organizations, and in the subjects` workplace.†materials/instruments usedThe strategies and tools involved in data collection includes ethnographic audiotaped interviews which includes open-ended, broad â€Å"grand tour” questions followed by more focused and in-depth discussions; participant observations were conducted in a variety of places; photography was extensive.13.  Critique the Results according to†findingsAnalysis from data obtained revealed two major characteristics of pub drinking performance, which are the conversational cockfighting and the disciplines of drinking. These two combine to ensure that a particular version of masculinity, here called pub(lic) masculinity spew itself.  A further finding is that masculinity in this kind of performative situation develops a degree of invisibility.†tables, graphs or chartsNo tables, graphs, or charts were included in the study.†statistical data and tests usedNo statistic al data or tests were used as this is a qualitative study. So no sample data were given.  Only some conversation or descriptive data were presented.-discussionThe discussion of the result was done comprehensively and thus thoroughly-limitationsThe researcher realized the difficulties of analyzing an invisible masculinity and argues that rendering masculinity is an important problem for any sociological analysis of both public leisure sites in rural society.- hints†The significant implication of this study is that rural sociologists must move rapidly beyond viewing rural pub as just another aspect of the rural idyl but it is more of the operation of gendered power in rural communities, and as a site where rural masculinities are enacted and defended.ReferenceRobson, C.
