Briefly discuss the type of design used by Torres and the timing of the data collection.

Torres used both the qualitative and quantitative research designs. For qualitative research design, he utilized the semi-structured interviews to gather the data needed to understand and determine the needed skills to successfully engage in the mainstream U.S. and Latino cultures, and the cultural consensus analysis to determine the shared cultural model of Latino intercultural competence. This was done by measuring the degree to which the participants agree on the definition of some cultural domain.
In general, Torres used the mixed-method approach of research design which is a combination of both the qualitative research design and the quantitative research design. ...

Abstract

This proposal presents a plan for the study of how inter-ethnic conflicts develop in newly decolonized countries around the world. The preliminary literature review shows that these states have volatile constitutions and the poor or non-existent separation of powers causes the country to marginalize its minority ethnic groups. This leads to failed policies on integration and the homogeneity of the military. The poor and unresponsive intervention of the Executive arm of government in a bad situation causes minorities to pick up arms and seek their right.
This paper proposes that the findings of the preliminary literature review be tested on ...
