3.2 Sampling I found my research participants through snowball sampling. Snowball sampling is a well established practice of asking respondents to recommend other possible research participants. Which in my case, the respondents willingly helped to share my survey link. The big advantage of this method is that it increases the number of respondents because people become more positive towards a researcher and are more willing to cooperate when introduced to someone they know.

alcohol, but food habits are also greatly influenced by peers. Social norms help shape individuals eating and exercise habits. According to one source “social norms - the standards against which the appropriateness of a certain behavior is assessed – have been described as comprising amongst the least visible, yet most powerful, forms of social control over human behavior”(Ball et al). For adolescents fast food places are a place of social gathering. It has become routine for students to go out…

Ethnographic Research Methodology in Practice Ethnographic research is one of the dominant methodologies in my field of study. While I have read ethnographic research studies in the past, this project gave me an opportunity to actually study how the methodology was used in different ways. To select my articles, I went to a folder I created for a project I am working on with my research advisor involving ethnicity and race talk in classrooms. After reviewing the abstracts, I selected three…

Vannevar Bush stated that scientific research is absolutely essential to national security, that war requires the most advanced scientific techniques. Bush pushed for colleges, universities, and research institutes to conserve the knowledge from the past and to teach that knowledge to students of the future. These institutes should be strengthened by use of public funds in order to better aid in the development of new scientific knowledge. He realized that the potential of underprivileged men…

Everyday research is in progress by many scientists and specialists to discover new species, study the mystery of our history, and develop new ways to improve the world. For example, the Remus 6000 helps improve the world by being a tool for research and helps to aid in other operations that occur underwater. The Northrop Grumman Remotec Andros is an important robot that can help to improve the world by being designed for military, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and law enforcement or SWAT…

(probably) how to measure the uses of social media. However, your summary (although link with your motivation) does not directly link with your hypothesis. Some sub-hypothesis might need to be considered. It looks like this article does not provide any information related to your hypothesis (the correlation between age and the use of social media). Even though it would help to extend an additional research question (e.g., if the older PIO are less likely to use social media, what are their…

The major theme in this reading is the impact that research (maybe not just sociology based) can do for a…

like to work as a mediator between scientific researchers and legislators which could potentially have an influence in policy making. For instance, developing citizen sciences programs that could educate the public population, regardless of their social class, about the environmental situation promotes different stakeholders to work towards a common goal. I have taken a wide range and degree of difficult classes in my undergraduate career that I believe shows the strong desire, effort and…

Although research has had various outcomes, there is a common denominator. Through each finding it has shown that women tend to be more open and accepting of abortion. During the various research contributed we can also understand that women are more unaccepting of the legalization of abortion than men. I assume that the reason a large amount of woman…
