On Methods & Strategy
The subject of study you have in mind is very interesting and to me - it appears that you are doing a case study. When we say case study, we are referring to an in-depth study of a singular subject (i.e. 1 person, 1 family, 1 group) because the focus of your study is just that subject. This therefore is not random sampling as it is focused. It is a systematised sampling wherein you have chosen a particular sample only because of the design, limits and purpose of your study.
