Title: JD 1.00
Type: Interview
Date: September 29th, 2015
Description: Overall I asked Raman 25 questions in regards to her background. Among the questions and the information included in the transcript include the following. I first thank Raman for her time and explain the purpose of the interview. I also informed her that if she felt uncomfortable, please let me know and I'll move on to the next question. The first question I asked her was her background information. This included questions such as where she was born, where did she grow up, where did she live, where did she go to school, does she have any hobbies. I also asked her about her family background which included questions such as “Why her family come to the United States,” or “describe to me some of your family members.” Much of the interview includes information about her Palestinian cultural background. I do also ask Raman some of her own personal views such as “what her reaction was to 9/11,” “her views on Al-Qaeda and what is going on in Syria, Iraq, and ISIS,” “some of her philosophical views”, and even some of her own views on topics involving Islam.
