The Biggest Brazilian Population in the USA: A Closer Look

 Interviewees were asked to talk about their experience with work and employment; whether they were satisfied with work and employment conditions in their job; what would they most prefer in a job (for example, work that pays well; provides good working conditions; where there is no mistreatment or exploitation by employer and there is not too much supervision; where both formal and informal education, skills and other qualifications are not devalued or undermined; where there are promotional prospects/opportunities; or other); whether they felt people were nice to work with; whether they thought immigration might have impact on skills, education and qualifications they brought with them from the country of origin to the UK (country of migration).

This lit research is done within a cross-sectional vibe with some case study elements by using semi-structured interviewing with a bunch of migrant farm workers at one point in time. 

OMG, like, cross-sectional design is totally more about quant research than qual. Just sayin'. Yet, qualitative research also involves a kind of cross-sectional design when a researcher uses semi-structured or unstructured interviewing with a bunch of peeps (Bryman, 2008:30, 48). It's like, you could totally say that using a chill convo interview style makes this study way more ecologically valid than using all those formal data collection tools. The study is like totally focused on immigration that's gonna have a major impact on migrant farm workers in terms of equality and cultural clout. The whole idea of impact has major vibes of causality, like this qualitative research is all about investigating causes and effects, you know? The qual interview was used as a data collection method in this study. Interview is like semi-structured, so the questions can be mad open-ended. There were like a bunch of questions that were in the general form of an Interview Guide (see Appendix A: the Interview Guide: Semi-Structured Questions). The Interview Guide was like, super lit with a kinda organized list of things to talk about or questions to ask (Bryman, 2008: 695). The interview was like, totally meant to be audio-recorded and transcribed so that what I see and hear from the peeps answering my questions is, like, consistent, you know? The audio recording was made only with the vibes of the respondents who are still down to take part in the interview even if they're not feeling the audio recording. 

The deets notes have been chosen as interviewees except one didn't vibe with being tapped. 

The interview material is like, totally transcribed and translated into English, ya know? The study has like totally incorporated the understanding of the migrants' world by asking a question of why and how immigrants are influenced by the world around them and examining migrants' world by its participants and of interpretivism in particular (Bryman, 2008: 15-17). The vibes you gotta catch is like, you gotta get how migrant farm workers feel about stuff, ya know? It's all about understanding their attitudes, beliefs, and opinions and how it all connects to their equality and cultural capital. And like, when it comes to cultural capital, it's a whole different game when it's about protection and recognition, ya feel? This interpretative research approach can be described as hella phenomenological (Schutz, 1962; Bogdan and Taylor, 1975) as I have interpreted migrants’ concerns and issues and my interpretations of such concerns are flexed in the literature review. My interpretations of migrant farm workers' concerns are like totally shown in later chapters, ya know? The vibe of my interpretations is to peep how minority farm workers interpret equality and cultural capital, ya know? Emphasis is like totally on how my interpretations as a researcher are like further interpreted in terms of the concepts, theories, and lit of equality and cultural capital. The goal of this job is to flex some cool and mind-blowing discoveries and connect them to the tea on equality and cultural capital. It's hella important to like, say that this level of interpretation is like, totally part of the inductive strategy cuz immigration may not be exploitative from the employer’s perspective but may be perceived in a different way by the migrant farm workers in face of mass media reports20 that suggest that migrants are being treated appallingly and facing exploitation from their employers. 

So, like, this research is gonna be all interpretative and stuff, and it might just come up with some totally surprising findings, you know?

In terms of ontological vibes, this study is all about that constructionist energy. It's all about seeing social reality as this ever-changing thing that individuals create, you know? (Bryman, 2004:19-20). The vibe of constructionism is like, people are totally in charge of making social stuff happen and giving it meaning (2008: 18-21). They are like, totally the bosses of their own minds and the architects of their whole vibe. The vibe of creating social phenomena and categories is like, totally done through social interaction on the reg. Such production is like always being revised, ya know? (Strauss et al., 1973: 316-17; Becker, 1982: 521). It's like, social stuff and categories aren't just sitting around, they're constantly changing and evolving based on people's personal experiences. Like, when it comes to my research, my own takes on equality and cultural capital for migrant farm workers are totally made up. Immigration is like always changing cuz it's a policy thing where lots of agreements/disagreements are like constantly being made, renewed, reviewed, revoked, or revised by like successive peeps. whether they felt migrant workers generally experienced difficulty accessing jobs / employment most consistent with their skills and qualifications; whether they felt the most migrant workers were affected by the non-recognition of education, skills and knowledge by their employers; whether they experienced any barriers that clearly exist between equality and migrants’ skills and education; whether they thought migration heightened inequality and, if so, whether it heightened migrants suffering and in what respects; what workplace problems they could identify that were likely to make increased equality claims and what solutions they could suggest.
