Chapter 9: Ethical Issues

Just imagine how easy it would have been for you to have done your thesis in the place where you live, if you didn't have to travel to the other side of the world to learn about other experiences … I just think about you, how you leave your children, live in a risky situation, because it's dangerous here, how you have to travel so much, to be able to interview us … I admire this idea of yours and I feel like I've won a prize to have been included in this written work.
