"The clean, linear presentation of statements of problem and purpose that are typically found in scholarly chapters and journal articles provide a thin basis for understanding the initial mess and frustration of finding and fine-tuning a problem for your inquiry. For that matter, it is probably misleading to suggest that you simply "find" a problem or question, as if all you have to do is reach into that mess and pull out a researchable idea. Problem posing in qualitative inquiry demands more of you than simply hunting, gathering, and then displaying." (p. 21)
