For example: ‘Does socioeconomic status impact divorce rates?’ or ‘Socioeconomic status is positively correlated with high school graduation rates.’.

Discuss one weakness (or limitation) of this method based on your readings and research. Explain your reasoning for selecting this research method over other possible sociological research methods.
