Limitation

From the very start, I knew for my research, I would face challenges to find data sources about Saudi Arabia and Iran. For my last assignment for 306, I wanted to measure my independent and dependent variable through speeches and actions made by key players. At first, I was having trouble finding speeches and actions to support my research because I had very limited access to Iran and Saudi Arabia's information. I narrowed my search to key events. I started to look for speeches or actions that took place after major events. Once again, I failed. After going through many trials and errors, I came up with an idea to find this evidence through the lens of the United States or other leading countries that hold information which is much more accessible. I started to look for speeches made by the president of US at the time and tried to detect a line that I can use as an evidence for my research.
