It is extremely difficult for me to comprehend this paper after reading it many times. The opening sentence in the first paragraph led me to think that the holiday will be the topic of the paper, which is quickly obfuscated by a movie that has nothing to do with it.

Before attempting to identify “to what degree can a research within the social science be considered scientific” the researcher must first become familiar with what a research is (APUS, 2017). Research is more than a collection of information from a source. Research must project “subjective processes, social relations, and artifacts (including research instruments and methods) enable researchers to objectively comprehend phenomena” (Ratner, 2002).
