what have been done, aging agency, take what have been done, then expand to a different angle. Building on the knowledge already there.
why do universities make methods classes mandatory in almost all disciplines?
personal biases > social science method of collecting research. Most of the time, it try to produce potential biases.
There are different step taken included (research process): selecting the topic, focus question, design study, collect data, analyze data, interpret data, inform others
social research does not produce perfect knowledge but to produce a more objective knowledge.
It's not always a way to answer the questions but seeking the truth.
Scientific method to answer ill question like: is there god?
The experience is important, but also the nature color that we see is important. The context of our culture. In our eyes, it's biased. One thing could be bad in one culture but considered OK or good in another culture.
These research process design is not necessarily apply for every research for every culture.
Sometimes, what is reported/recorded/promoted are not totally right. eg; smoking crack 1 time will make you addicted for life. Just one time. Well, this is about politic, what powerful people want us to believe. It's all about financial aspect. They want to promote what they want people to believe. sharing the pie, that's all it is. And moral consensus. A moral sense of community as a whole.
Again, personal experiences are somewhat biases.
Note: question to ask when doing research: why it's not the biggest problem here but not there?
Another way to get information is through the media > to inform but bottom line is the profit.
Stereotype
