===Phenomenology=== [[Phenomenology (philosophy)|Phenomenology]] is the study of things as they appear (i.e., ''[[Phenomenon|phenomena]]''). It is also often said to be descriptive rather than explanatory: a central task of phenomenology is to provide a "clear, undistorted description of the ways things appear."<ref>{{cite web|last=Smith|first=Joel|title=Phenomenology|url=http://www.iep.utm.edu/phenom/|access-date=4 October 2012|publisher=Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy}}</ref> Phenomenology originated with [[Edmund Husserl]], who Schutz studied and even met. There are many assumptions behind phenomenology that help explain its creation. First, it rejects the concept of objective research: phenomenologists would rather group presumptions through a process called ''[[phenomenological epoche]]''. Second, phenomenology believes that analyzing the daily human behavior will provide one with a comprehensive understanding of nature. The third assumption is that persons, not individuals, should be explored and questioned. Sociologically speaking, this is in part because persons can be better understood by the unique ways they reflect and symbolize the society they live in. Fourth, phenomenologists prefer to gather ''capta'', or ''conscious experience'', rather than traditional data. Finally, phenomenology is considered to be oriented on discovery, and therefore phenomenologists gather research using methods that are far less restricting than in other sciences.<ref name="In S.
