The Importance Of Research

A strategy I will use to ensure that I have properly cited my sources will be to utilize me resource table that I enter all used resources. This allows me to access these resources easily, ensure I have the proper APA format, and

A case study is defined as “a report of case materials obtained while working with an individual, a group, a community, or an organization. Case Studies illustrate a problem; indicate a means for solving a problem; and/or shed light on needed research, clinical applications, or theoretical materials” (APA, 2010, p. 11). The goal of this paper is for me to conduct a case study on myself and explain what I have learned about research at an introductory level, and how I evaluate or critique it from a biblical, Christian perspective.

Madeline’s debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan is 31.85 percent; without the college loan it is 14.07 percent. According to the 20 percent rule, she cannot afford the college loan. However, after Madeline pays off her credit card debts, her debt payments-to-income ratio with the college loan will be 17.5 percent. Therefore, once she pays off her credit cards, she will be able to afford the loan. [ANSWER: 19.48%]

As I approached my 50th birthday and realized that I'm now a middle-aged man who had been smoking for 20 years, I knew I had to find something that would help me kick the addiction once and for all. I read several articles and books on how to quit smoking, but nothing I read seemed to keep me from going back to cigarettes.

The two vignettes that I choose were titled “Research Matters!” by Stephen Gaetz and “A Shot at a Decent Life” by Jacqueline Kennelly. The first thing that I learned from Doug was how successful the Housing First program was when supporting those who are homeless and living in poverty. The Bosman Hotel provided on-site services that provide access to doctors, nurses, case managers, psychiatrists as well as, a focus on enhancing people's employment skills. There was an emphasis on the value of community building that encouraged the service users to be active participants within their community at the hotel. I agree that this type of Housing First approach because it respects the worth of the individual and values their contributions to society.

The service I will be basing my controlled assessment on is Carters Green medical centre within the Health Sector.

Thesis statement: Trying to stop smoking can be the hardest thing a person can do. Couple that with the fact that there are 101 ways to stop smoking, those that are not 100% dedicated to quitting can find this a very daunting task. However, there is one way that can make the path to quitting clearer and easier.

It’s important to do good research so we can accurately learn about a subject. Research must always be of high quality in order to produce knowledge that is valid outside of the research setting. Without good research strategies, even intelligent and attentive people can be fooled.

Smoking is an addiction that risks one’s health which in turn can lead to death. As time advances, both smokers and non-smokers have begun understand the harm in this deadly habit as it doesn’t only affect the smokers, but anyone who encounters second-hand smoke. Since people have become aware of the health risks of smoking, cessation tools such as nicotine replacement therapy were invented to help cigarette smokers terminate their desires to smoke. As technology improves, smoking tools are created, like the electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) that was invented in 2003 (Rahman, Hann, Wilson, & Worrall-Carter, 2014). Electronic cigarettes can deliver low doses of nicotine to ease withdrawal symptoms. Furthermore, as electronic cigarettes increase in popularity the question arises if these devices can be used for smoking cessation purposes like nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). After discussing the topics of e-cigarettes and smoking cessation, one will conclude that electronic cigarettes can be compared to nicotine replacement therapy as a successful quitting method. Furthermore, the use of electronic cigarettes can be an effective method of smoking cessation.

Throughout this course I have learned many things about research at an introductory level. Research is a critical part of all of our lives in many ways. God blesses each of us with a degree of common sense and we all learn from observing others even as babies, we learned behaviors and skills by observing our parents. Walking through experiences throughout life teach us a lot we need to know as well but sometimes we have to take a better approach when we need to learn about certain things. Many of us know that what works in some situations or with certain individuals doesn’t always work or is the safest option for another situation. Controlled and precisely organized study allows scientists to compare and examine contrasting methods and concepts, also helps them to discover various approaches and be able to learn from individual’s behaviors and experiences. I will act as the case study throughout this paper in order to observe what I have learned about.

Do you like school well I hate school. Hear is the good news my school just got 1 million dollars! How are we going to spend all that money?Here are three ways we can help the school.

I believe in good spirits. I had some bad vibes like tests that I couldn’t pass them. I was stuck, but then my Mom helped me studied. Always ask your parents to help. Frankly, it wasn’t easy, that is why I study during a little bit of class time and the time when students are getting to their next classes. It was a lot easier and I got the hang of what I’m doing in school.

Issue: Mistake is to state the problem in what appears to be entirely subjective language. Making assertions about the problem without proving enough supporting evidence from existing research= SO you will also provide a description of who is concerned with the issue, the context in which the conflict or issue under study occurs; and a discussion of how pervasive the issue is. Showing how the problem has or not has been addressed in the existing body of literature will be critical in making the case for the significant of your research.

Why do young bright minds of India want to take up science or research as a promising career path in the first place? Doesn’t it feel like a risk? What career opportunities does one have after getting a PhD? These questions are bugging me quite a lot these days. For most of us, born and brought up in middle class urban society are taught right from the start to work hard and be well educated enough to secure a good job. Seemingly it is the gateway to lead a comfortable life. I think in India it is the most important thing in life. Getting a decent job. It’s the only thing that matters. No matter how creative you are and harbor any kind of alternate ambitions otherwise it becomes secondary after a point. So growing up, the thought of pursuing science and research could only be such a far-fetched dream for many of us I guess.

What I have learned about research is that it is a process, a scientific process that psychologist and scientist develop that includes many different approaches and that is carefully peer reviewed and evaluated. There is what is called the Scientific Approach where scientist have an idea or theory and based on their observation will either support the theory or the theory can be falsified by their peers. Data also goes through a review period before it is published in a scientific journal by scientist who have the knowledge and expertise to evaluate it.
