Obama each year for NASA is ,somewhat, a huge part of what the future holds. American innovation rest on the investments we make today. In that sense, I don’t think science could have the capability of ever going too far. The majority of scientific research does not establish anything useful. It only strives to explain why and how things occur. We are the leading country for scientific knowledge and exploration and without the proper fundings, our high advancement amongst other countries could…

“Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to think what nobody else has thought” (Brainy Quotes). These are the words once spoken by Albert Szent- Gyorgi, the 1937 Nobel Prize winner in Physiology or Medicine for discovering vitamin C. With interests in biology, a large sum of my time is spent in the lab or on a computer doing research. However research doesn’t have to apply only to biology of other physical sciences. Research can apply to most aspects and studies in life. Although…

that today’s doctors hold as the standard. Though these experiments are considered one of the darkest times in terms of medical-ethics, these very experiments yielded some valuable information. With this in mind, a topic that has arisen decades after the original experiments, is the application of these findings in modern studies. The use of Nazi research, findings and applications of said research, should be allowed and greatly accepted for the advancement of studies being currently conducted.…

There are multiple different research methods that can be used in different situations so as to allow sociologists to learn more about previously unknown areas of society. An example of a research method would be a group interview, a method that gathers qualitative data, and is favoured by left-wing sociologists due to the interpretative nature of the results.

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.

therefore this was my very first time I had to write an essay in English language. As a middle aged women, out of school for 20 years and English as a second language, I felt a little nervous before research skills class, and I probably have a disadvantage compared to the other students in this class who are fresh out of high school but I believe that a good challenge is important for our personal growth and I welcome any challenge that comes my way. Research skills class assignments were…

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…
