Analysis Of President Obama's Speech On Gun Safety

Taking grounded theory in perspective, I have chosen to do president Obama’s speech on gun safety reform, which was given in the East Room of the White House. According to Glaser and Strauss (1967), grounded theory is when researchers go into a field with no knowledge of theory on the topic that they are going to do a research on (Tierney 2016). After reading and listening to President Obama’s speech on guns safety, I have come to known that gun violence has increased in The United States and it has reached to a point where strong actions must be taken on gun laws before any other gun relates incident arises again.

President Obama had a great example in his speech. He said that after the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting incident, a man in china attacked children in a school with a knife.
