The methods for this study are rooted in qualitative research traditions. According to Glesne (2011), qualitative research is “a type of research that focuses on qualities such as words or observation that are difficult to quantify and that lend themselves to interpretation or deconstruction” (p. 283). Qualitative research is a means to understand the meaning-making of humans in real world settings and produces findings by interpretation (Creswell, 2009). While this case study focused on…

them. "Information from the Office of Technology Assessment estimated between 17 and 23 million animals are used in research each year" (Why Are Animals Necessary in Biomedical Research). Animal testing has been a controversial issue for several years and is debated whether it is right or wrong. What is animal testing exactly? It is the procedure on living animals for purposes of research into basic biology and disease, assessing the effectiveness of new medicinal products, and testing the human…

Qualitative research encompasses a variety of methodologies that normally begin with a frame of reference or that are guided by philosophical assumptions that “inform the conduct and writing of the qualitative study.”1 In the text Qualitative Inquiry and Research Design: Choosing Among Five Traditions, John W. Creswell provides five philosophical assumptions that lead to the choice behind qualitative research: ontology, epistemology, axiology, rhetorical, and methodological assumptions.2…

I believe it`s important to note that there`s no single, accepted way of carrying out a research. Indeed, how researchers proceed depends on upon a range of factors, including their beliefs about the nature of the social world, the nature of knowledge and how it can be acquired, the purposes, and the goals of the research, its participants or I would say the audience and time and environment in which they`re conducting. Differences in the mix of these factors have led to numerous variations in…

Bernie Ann Garillo Mrs. Parham Research Paper 08 November 2017 Pain and Misery in the Animal Kingdom Approximately a million animals suffer through experimentations each year and end up dead (“How Many Animals are Used”). Animal experimentation is when animals go through examination to determine the effects that a product has on humans. Different types of animals, such as rats, mice, hamsters, and cats, are put into cramped cages when waiting for their turn. These animals appear for experiments…

Advertising Research Brief Due Date 12 October 2016 Claudi van der Merwe Section 1 Yes, I believe that Cell C researched their target market before they decided to rebrand and reposition themselves. They did primary and secondary research. Primary research is the information gathered for the first time. They saw that they have 8,2 million subscribers and 552 Facebook friends. The company started in 2001 and was initially rooted in the townships. But they realized that there is a more wealthy…

A naturalistic observation is a type of qualitative research methodology in which a researcher carries out a study by carefully observing the subjects in their natural environment (Cozby & Bates, 2012; Creswell, 2013). Naturalistic observational research is deeply deep-rooted in the discipline of anthropology particularly in studies examining human and animal behavior. It is also widely used in other social science disciplines like sociology and ethnic studies (Cozby & Bates, 2012). Bowler et al…

As stated in the article “5 Reasons to Bring Back Extinct Animals (And 5 Reasons Not To)” by Breanna Draxler, “De-Extinction possibly will change priorities in fields of science, such as medical research.” This will not be good at all. These scientists receive billions of dollars to research for cures for cancer, HIV/AIDS, alzheimers, etc., and now they will be looking for ways to come up with extinct wooly mammoths and pigeons? Once again, this proves to be unnecessary and wrong. Scientists…

There is no denying that using animals in the progress of medical research and study is necessary. That being said, the current rulings and principles of this form of scientific research are being challenged by different countries worldwide. In one such case, a U.K. clinical trial was done to limit the use of animals in their study of the TeGenero leukemia drug. “Of the new European tests, for example, five detect pyrogenic contaminants in drugs—bacteria that infiltrate injectable or intravenous…

Over the years, many debates have been sparked about the use of animals in experiments to test the quality and effects of different drugs and treatments. This is an understandably controversial topic as the ethical treatment of these animals is often questioned. Many believe that animal testing should be prohibited, but would this really be to the benefit of scientific advancement? Animal testing is necessary for scientific development and this essay aims to support this statement by…
