The Building Blocks of Frederick Tudor’s Ice Trading Business The development of refrigeration technology started in the 1800’s, and the first commercial refrigerator appeared in the 1900’s. However, people who had access to ice used it to preserve food long before the existence of refrigeration technology. In addition, in the early 1800’s, a businessman named Frederick Tudor established an ice trading company that shipped ice to central parts of the world where ice was difficult to obtain.…

leads to less stress? Questions like these are those that social psychologists ask everyday. Social psychology originates from the broader study of psychology that focuses on human behavior in social settings (McLeod, 2007). There are a variety of research methods that social psychologist can employ such as, correlational, observational, and experimental. The methods that this paper targets are those of correlational and experimental design. To elaborate on these methods, it is theorized that…

Gerbner also regards the television as the dominant essence within a person household. The cultivation method uses the survey research method. By using the survey method it is able to calculate the different types of data with minutes. The cultivation theory mostly relies on research to obtain different amounts of views of…

Research methods are a broad term. While methods of data collection and data analysis represent the core of research methods, the focus of the research is to collect data that can test both dependent and independent variables (Cresswell, 2008). The nature of the dependent variable (social media) in the hypothesis dictates the methodology and design for this perspective study. Therefore, the researcher is proposing an exploratory research to fully expose the potential and conceptual distinctions…

Research is essentially our strive for knowledge, a concept not difficult to grasp. However, when the research is being performed on other living human beings, it becomes a bit more complicated. It is a fine line between freedom and anarchy, as well as regulations and gridlock. The positive aspects, as well as the frustrations, with both is clear. However, regulations do not appear without causation. For every regulation put into place there has been some individual, or some group of people, who…

skills, training, and experience you have that will be useful in an engineering research internship position. Although my research career has just begun, I have accumulated a strong background in a several research fields and more importantly have developed a strong research foundation that will help to ensure my future endeavors as an intern as well as a researcher. In my past two semesters I have gained valuable research experience by participating in the Honors Program at the College of San…

development to guarantee information security. The services as well have not been of essential use in that there is inefficiency in the software developed that link up the data for data entry as well as access to the cloud. In the medical field, a second of blindness in the information database could be disastrous and cloud cost lives and resources invested in the wellness of users of hospital premises (Griebel et. al., 2015). The providers of they services as well require that the hospital…

Research, Theory, and Practice: Integration and Approach Leedy and Ormrod (2014) defined Research “as a systematic process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting information—data—in order to increase our understanding of a phenomenon about which we are interested or concerned.” Research is sometime as a result of interest or a conscious and deliberate pursue of knowledge to solve a problem, drive innovation, improve efficiency and effectiveness of existing process or operations. Research…

quantitative research are: descriptive, correlational, quasi-experimental and experimental. The key to understanding each is the level or degree of control involved in the study and its component. Groves, Gray & Burns (2015) define control as the imposing of rules to decrease the possibility of error, increasing the probability a study’s findings, which reveal an accurate reflection of reality. Groves, Gray and Burns (2015) went on to discuss the rules known as design, to achieve control in…

Ethics Review With any research comes risk. Lindell & Perry (2004, p. 1) states “risk can be defined broadly as a condition in which there is a possibility that persons or property could experience adverse consequences”. Many action research (AR) studies encounter minimal exposure to any harmful information or risks to the participants. According to The Belmont Report “even avoiding harm requires learning what is harmful; and in the process of obtaining this information, a person may be exposed…
