Methods of Study in the Social Sciences
The notoriously messy toolkit used to study human behavior, which refuses to sit still for clean measurement like chemicals or cells. These methods include surveys (asking people what they do, getting what they say they do), interviews (asking deeply, getting complicated stories), ethnography (living with people until they forget you're watching), statistical analysis (finding patterns in chaos), and case studies (going deep on one thing, sacrificing breadth). Unlike physics, social science methods must grapple with reflexive subjects who change when studied, cultural contexts that shift meaning, and the small problem that the researchers are also humans with biases. It's science, but science with feelings.
"I tried to apply the Methods of Study in the Social Sciences to my family Thanksgiving. Let's just say participant observation gets awkward when your participants know you're observing and demand to know what you're writing."

normal. That can be done with frequent demonstrations. The key is the frequency just like other GangStalking methods. For example, People show you a pen every where you go, and their attitude is rude or crazy against you. You don't know them. You just wonder what's going on. Imagine that happens everyday, for a week, for a month, fora year, then, that makes you have fear with a pen. In this case, a pen is ANCHORED with your state of fear. It can be
anything. A cell phone, notebook computer, a medical mask, clothes of the same color, anything.

Some very strange things started happening to me after a psychopathic person I know got very mad because he/she felt threatened!
I came home one day and found dirt on the floor and some things messed up and moved around. There was no visable signs of forced entry. My vehicle was broken into and the radio station was changed and the headlight switch was turned on and Some panels were unscrewed.
Thanks to this dictionary, I found that I am not crazy. These are two of the Gang Stalking methods. I am being Gang Stalked! These events will be recorded and reported!

The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.
The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics.
