bAffordances and Limitations of Domain Analysisb
bThe greatest thing about this method is its ability to put each little detail into the larger picture of my analysis of the topic. Just as each individual brush stroke makes a picture the great masterpiece that it is, each term is building blocks of the larger domain of healthcare issues. Thus, in order to truly understand the larger issue and the patterns within the domain, I must be familiar with all of the smaller components such as those raised in the Expatica Healthcare Forum. Also, observation of interactions and domain analysis will be a very feasible method when looking at health care, as interviews and obtaining information from clinics and hospitals would prove difficult due to confidentiality laws. If I can employ this method and use analysis to delve deeper into the various domains, I will be able to develop a full comparison of clinics in the US to those in Amsterdam.

bThe limitations of this method seem to be just those things that I feel might be helpful. If I get too caught up in the little details, I could lose focus of the bigger idea that I am developing. Furthermore, I must still insert my own feelings and ideas into my project, using domain analysis only as a tool to objectively further more research. On the whole, I feel that observations of this sort in which I make inferences into the deeper issues of the domain through patterns I observe will provide a wealth of information.
