Grounded Theory Analysis was created (or at least first described) by Anselm Strauss and Barney Glaser in 1967 as a research methodology. It has the following characteristics: 1. It is qualitative rather than quantitative. In other words, it focuses on statements rather than numbers. 2. It is inductive, rather than deductive. In other words it takes data and develops a model. It does not test a model. 3. It is anti-hypothetical. Grounded Theory is called what it is, because it is described as being "grounded" on the data. The fear is that a hypotheses biases the findings. 4. It focuses on describing a phenomena to create a "model". This is different from some other types of qualitative analysis such as: Ethnography: Used to describe an ethnic or cultural group. Biography: Used to describe a person. Phenomenology: Although also used for a phenomena... phenomenology seeks to find the essence of the phenomena, rather than seek a model. Case study: Used to study an event. Grounded Theory analysis focuses on interviews... especially live interviews. The goal is to interview people with diverse perspectives in a particular area. The aim is to reach data saturation (where additional interviews do not result in new useful data). When data saturation occurs... the data goes through three processes: A. Open coding. The data is broken up into individual statements and categorized. B. Axial Coding. The coded statements are compared to find common themes and relationships. C. Selective Coding. The axially coded data is filtered to find key relationships and classifications. This process can be iterative. The result should be a substantive theory or model. It may be in narrative form, diagram, table, or otherwise. Grounded Theory Analysis can be a very powerful tool especially in the social sciences. But the researcher must be of care not to inject bias into the process.
Will a dead body explode if left alone and not embalmed?
A dead body will not explode if left alone and not embalmed. During the decomposition process, gases may build up and cause bloating, but this typically does not result in explosion. The rate of decomposition will depend on various factors such as environmental conditions and presence of scavengers.
Were Neanderthal man and Cro-magnon man alike or different?
The best evidence we have is that they were a separate species of man and that we are all descended from Cro-magnon. But we all also have 7% Neanderthal genes. They didn't like each other very much, and no doubt had wars.

Why are people attracted to each other?
Answer If I had the answer to this question, I'd have a harem of women living with me. You can probably answer this question yourself, by asking yoursef what is it about a girl that attracts you and turns you on. Answer # 2: Some scientists say that humans subconciously smell or scent the genes of other humans when choosing a mate, and the genes of the smellee that best match the genes of the smeller are most appealing and aid in attraction. Answer # 3 I am a man, so maybe I am a bit cynical, but it seems to me that many women (and some men, too) are attracted to someone who can provide them with security, that is, someone who has money. I think it is the nesting instinct, that they want to have children and they want someone who will provide for them. Many men are simply attracted to women who turn them on sexually. They are attracted to lots of women, for lots of reasons. Looks, intelligence, humor, a good dancer. Both sexes want the best partner they can find, basically someone who is too good for them.
Was the 10 commandments based on an ancient myth?
There is nothing available regarding this to actually be based on a myth.
The 10 commandments are probably for real as in actually having existed and being written down.
This does not have to be due to a God or not.
It may simply be a person that came up with the first laws that "his" society was to obey by.
Whether we believe in God or do not believe, the actual 10 commandments are not bad rules to follow.
What are the myths surrounding the of King Tutankhamun?
The most prevalent would be the Curse of Tutankhamn. When tombs were sealed the Egyptians were said to put a curse on the dead. This was supposed to discourage tomb robbing, which of course, it did not. When Howard Carter opened Tut's tomb in 1922 there appeared to be a string of deaths connected to those who were there to defile the Boy King's earthly remains. Virtually all of the deaths have completely logical explainations so it is doubtful if there ever was a curse at all.

What did god do to the pharaoh?
Exodus 7:14 "And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go."
Despite a common false belief that God hardened Pharaoh's heart, we understand this not to be the case.
God's actions towards Pharaoh were consistent with his nature. God showed him kindness and mercy, providing instructions to avoid calamity. God's spokesman, Moses, delivered these messages personally.
Exodus 5:3 "...The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee... lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword."
Despite the appearance of the wording, "lest he fall upon us," God did not desire that Pharaoh or the Egyptians come to harm, nor was He going to be the source of that harm. God's instructions, if heeded, would have prevented them from reaping the bitterness in life they had been sowing.
Exodus 1:13,14 "And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour: And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage..."
Since God does not violate freedom of will, we understand the commonly quoted "the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart," to mean that God permitted it. Reflecting on these truths, we are in awe of God's willingness to help us get out of the soup, and to avoid getting in the soup in the first place.
Isaiah 55:7 "Let the wicked forsake their way and the unrighteous their thoughts; let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will richly forgive."
