METHODOLOGICAL COMPARISON AND CRITIQUE
There are two articles under study which discuss the white privilege in the different
social aspects of lives. The first study is by Kwate and Goodman (2014) while the second
study is by Moosavi. This correlation and examination distinguish the differentiating
strategies and techniques for the articles right from the start. It then describes its fundamental
epistemic premise and analyses it as uncovered by its aims and procedure. The paper assesses
and studies the techniques of the two articles and examines the true characteristics of their
specific claims. Although they usually have stable systems, they are not fully advocated in
their decisions.
A fundamental epistemological divide is between empiricism (that knowledge derives
primarily from our sensory experience) and rationalism (the idea that reason or the rational
ability of the mind of the human being, is not our senses but the main source of knowledge).
Methodology means the research method study:' it concerns science and methodology studies
and assumptions about the production of knowledge. The methods are techniques used to
collect and analyse data and address research questions. The logic, potentialities, and
limitations of research methods are addressed. Methods are only methods of data acquisition.'
ARTICLES’ METHODOLOGY AND METHOD
Article 1- An Empirical Analysis of White Privilege
In the research by Kwate and Goodman(2014) the aim is achieved by analysing
comprehensive evidence which shows that social position matters for well-being. Those with
more remarkable financial assets and an important social chain view prefer well-being over
those who hold fewer possessions and less noticeable standing. The race is another striking
hub that stratifies well-being in the USA, but few investigations have analysed White's
advantage. The present paper examined the effect on the wellness and prosperity of white
people in three Boston neighbourhoods on a social slope that is separated by race, ethnic,

pay, and glory, as well as the sense of disparity and abstract and targeted social position.
Self-assessed well-being, dental wellness, and joy were findings. The results suggested: the
area of home did not have a relationship with the well-being of individual dimensional
factors as a result of monitoring (e.g. positive assessment of the area, level of training); target
proportions of financial status were linked to better self-revealed and dental well-being; but
the more strongly linked were abstract social situation assessments; and white residents. In
any case, people who lived in all wealthy and most diverse neighbourhoods were more
appalling in their detail to welcome Black families. These results advise white advantage and
social position to cooperate in shaping the results of well-being.
Article 2- White Privilege in the lives of Muslin Converts in Britain
Moosavi (2015) here aims to explore how the whiteness of Islamic believers affects their
encounters after transformation. It points to the fact that white proselytes have a
predominance and decency marker because of their white capacity. The breaking points of
the white benefit are additionally taken into account in attempting to make a strong
perception of the presence of white profit. It is claimed that white proselytes are at risk after
changing into Islam, demonstrating the delicacy of whiteness. It is also considered how
changes in whiteness can cause challenges rather than advantages because of the special
conditions in which they are created. This work, however, is not always privileged as racial
oppressors who in any case depict white persons as dependingly injured, seeks a
progressively adapted understanding of the multi-faceted nature of whiteness.
DESCRIPTION OF THE METHODOLOGICAL DESIGN AND METHODS
Article 1
Kwate and Goodman (2015) inspected the strength of white residents in three Boston
neighbourhoods, each with different statistic profiles, to explore these ideas using a
quantitative approach in the form of questionnaires. They first asked whether neighbourhoods

have a reverse social perspective in terms of well-being. Back Bay, South End, and Jamaica
Plain are generally well-known, and dominate White like Boston. Testing based on addresses
has been used to select equivalent estimated tests for family units in each area in order to
accommodate people who are aged 18 years or older and interested in an email study. Since
population measurements were shifted by district, each person had different determination
probabilities. At first, a surveyed parcel was sent with a post-paid return envelope for sending
people back the polls. The parameters were sent to 2400 example addresses, 800 out of every
area. Every 2400 example address was sent postcard update, approximately seven days after
the primary mailing. Finally, a second bundle was sent to every example of an address, for
which a finished survey was not returned, about 14 days following the posting card update.
Polls returned as unsubscribe (10.4 %) at the mail station have been sorted for testing and
substituted by a similar neighbourhood example address in this capacity.
Article 2
Moosavi (2015) conducted qualitative research using an interpretivism approach and
used 37 in-depth interviews in the year 2008, and 2009 with Muslim converts specifically
in great Manchester so the research was more in the category of a qualitative one. In a
qualitative nature, numerals are not focused on, but there is a thorough investigation of the
topic of interest. Over here the study was based on the Muslim community in order to
understand the white privilege and whiteness complexity in Britain by showing how
whiteness operates when it's about the Muslim converts, and this privilege is one reason
why white Muslim converts are given more respect and admiration.
METHODOLOGICAL CRITIQUE OF EACH ARTICLE

Methodological Critique
There are components to consider for the two investigations with respect to the
legitimacy of their epistemological and methodological methodology in making advocated
inferences.
Article 1
Meanwhile, this approach suited this study as it was being conducted for to make
comparisons between ethnicities of different areas welcoming Black could have various
effects, it clearly differs from the social position from feelings of disadvantage to well-being,
which suggests the ways in which the health benefits of White can be refracted. In order to
take into account the Back Bay's very low Black people and South End's low and declining
rates in this study as well. Black families remain as an unequivocal difference from the socio-
economic network in these areas. These observations can thus benefit from the good of the
fact that Black occupants continue to benefit from a place of white exclusion. In this sense,
white inhabitants can only expect that white families will be welcomed, but not alot of them
actually live in the region, to reflect a fair business lodging sector which is stratified by
differential decisions and financial assets. Krysan and Farley (2002) and others have
demonstrated that the Whites are the unmistakable lion for the neighbourhoods.
Article 2
This method suited this study because a specific sect was under study and their input was
derived better using the qualitative approach than any other. According to Malterud et al.
(2016), white believers are often recipients of white benefit as opposed to non-white
proselytes, which I characterise as receiving advantage and interest, or expanded chances and
decreased confines because they are racialised in a setting where whiteness is considered
better than non-whiteness. However, as I will clarify, white proselytes can lose access to
whiteness and thus also to white benefits after changing to Islam. They also see that being

white offers advantages and sometimes prompts for "the Muslim people" to be studied and
even rejected. These arguments depend on thirty-seven top-to-bottom meetings with Muslim
faithful from 2008 to 2009 in England (Alam, 2012). There have been a variety of fellow
believers including 15 men and 20 two ladies, who have been Muslim for fluctuating periods
between 2 months and 30 years, somewhere in the range of 17 and 64. The interviewees all
lived in the Greater Manchester region, which contains both prince and denied regions and
urban and provincial areas. In this connection, the interviewees lived in a variety of settings,
which helped to gain a full understanding of Muslim proselytes ' lives in various
environments in modern Britain. Through a variety of techniques including mosques, Islamic
Associations, web discussions and informal discussions the interviewed were selected. The
meetings took place regularly in their home, working environment, a bistro or mosques, in a
position for the interviewee to select (Younis & Hassan, 2017).
THE LIMITATIONS AND/OR STRENGTHS OF THE RESEARCH DESIGN,
Article 1
Some confines of this investigation by Kwate and Goodman(2014) should be noted.
First and foremost, the reaction rates were medium, as was true in most mail reviews, which
treated our ability, to sum up, the Boston population. In that case, there was a higher level of
training, pay and property holders than would normally be in survival measures (Boston PHC
Research Office, 2013). The levels were equally high for healthy people, with reasonable or
weakness less than 5 per cent. This blocked our use of dichotomised results, thus avoiding
correlations with various exams. Research into a test-test-resistant quality of the wellness that
is assessed recommends that reliability is based mostly on Whites and people who have
advanced education, but "Amazing" is minimally stable in five dimensions, with 52%
choosing an alternative dimension just a month later (Bond et al., 2015).
Article 2

Last name 7
This article by Moosavi (2015) is just restricted to the Muslim converts of the white
populace there is no mention of any other population or any other generalisation. Therefore,
there could be research on other sects, and the future implications also can include the
reinforcement and indulgence in how the white population is facing discrimination. Based on
different factors and for what reason are other sects facing discrimination and if these reasons
are in line with the future research could consider whether white converts indulge in and
reinforce this racial hierarchy.
EVALUATE THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE CONCLUSIONS REACHED BY THE
AUTHOR(S)
Article 1
Findings in Kwate and Goodmans (2014) article can be described as follows. Initially,
the information did not strengthen the speculation that well-being in the area would be
reversed. Failure to adapt investigations revealed that the best of wellbeing in Back Bay, in
the smallest measure in Jamaica Plain (though still sound in general) and South End in the
middle was even among White Interviewees, who could be portrayed as rich, extravagant,
and most extraordinarily good in general. In any case, the neighbourhood home in fully
balanced models was not linked to well-being. If an inclination to reverse is present in the
population, the geographic size of neighbourhoods within the city is imperceptible, as
opposed to the measurable metropolitan territories used in the investigation of Subramanian.
Secondly, in line with other studies (May et al., 2011), although the target proportions were
associated with better welfare (self-evaluated and dental), the latter of these studies were all
the more clearly linked for abstract estimations using step rankings. Thirdly, an unexpected
finding suggested that some White people who consider Black families to be welcome in
their (mostly White) barrios have pleasure in favour of well-being over those who have relied
on them.

Article 2
In Moosavis (2015) research, the research investigates how changes in whiteness can
cause them trouble because whiteness is distinguished as irregular and risky in a given
environment in which changes occur. This article attempts to add to what was known as'
Third Wave Whiteness Studies' which was characterised by the use of experimental research
in explicitly speaking regions with a multifaceted character of whiteness. The "third wave
perspective on whites does not take the understanding that whites are only a genuine area of
benefit and power that is widespread and similarly experienced". Whiteness, as a socially
developed class, often has advantages, causes difficulties in some cases and can even be
given away to bodies that have been previously white without any problems.
CONCLUSION
The methodological analysis has concluded that article one "An empirical analysis of
white privilege" is more effective than article two “White Privilege in the lives of Muslin
Converts in Britain” because quantifiable data is more reliable and objective while qualitative
is mostly subjective and open to a researchers interpretation. The first article used a positivist
approach in which there was the use of demographic elements, Subjective social status,
Objective social status, health outcomes and perceptions using different models which
separate the element of subjectivity from research and makes it more reliable and usable for
other future work by Kwate and Goodman(2014). The other was more of an interpretivism
approach as it focused more on the interpretation of the researcher in the article by Moosavi
(2015).
