Evolution of Religious Tolerance in Research Proposal

Theoretical framework: I will be guided by historical factual descriptions, but also by social and cultural interpretations. The interpretive perspective will concentrate upon the role of the woman during the colonial period and the manner in which their status impacted both the society of those times and the contemporary one.

Method: Conduct a literature review. Perform a personal interpretation of the observed factual data. Express personal evaluations and analyses of the interpretive works.

Limitations: The research is highly influenced by the already existing material. his means that it is likely for the research, despite its complexity and profound character, to provide a result which will be very similar to the ones of other researches.

Delimitations: I will limit my analysis to the colonial period because it is highly important from a social and anthropological point-of-view.All the conclusions regarding the impact of that period on the contemporary society will derive from my personal interpretation and judgement.
