Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Microanalysis should include speaking with individuals about their thoughts and actions. Macroanalysis should include sociological analysis at a large, social-structural scale that might look at how groups work together, which organizations are involved, the role of the government in policy, cultures, societal opinions, or how the laws vary in different parts of the world.
