I think u are talkin about DESCRIPTIVE method right??\n Collecting data to test hypotheses or to answer questions concerning \n   the current status of the subject of the study. \n\n   Often this involves developing an instrument appropriate for obtaining \n   the desired information. \n\n   Data is usually collected through: \n\n        Self-reports –  from individuals, using questionnaires, interviews, standardized instruments.  \n\n        Observation – individuals are not asked for information. Data is obtained through other means (i.e. direct observation).

in my own words...\n\nunlike the other social sciences, the sociologial perspective is holistic and comparative. it helps develop the quality of mind which helps people to see what's going on in the world and what may be happening within themselves to grasp the interplay between men and society as a whole.

1) importance of studying morals and ethics- helps you understand human behavior. Each culture has their own set of morals and ethics. In ancient times (think Old Testament), it was within a man's right to do as he pleased with members of his household... Today, not so much.\n\n2) Don't know much about postmodernism, so I'm not much help there...\n\nGood luck on your paper!!

Of course, it is better to take some theory as background first, before investigation, for orderly analysis of things.\n\nYou have to ask questions to get a view who takes decisions, on what  they are based, what is the level of collaboration between workers and its type, how spread are non-conventional relations (present much in badly managed organisations), which is satisfaction of employees, how they perceive elements of organisation, etc. \n\nThe same questions in essence should be formulated differently for different people taking into account their position, education level, language used, also type of organisation - a thing suitable for hospital may be not suitable for trading company.\n\nAnd it is good to have several questions for testing the same.\n\nE.g. involvment into decision-making. \nYou may ask the employer and chief management: do they get feedback from employees, were opinions of employees useful, how often meetings are held. \nAnd questions of the same section for employees may look so: do management asks their opinion, do they feel that their feedback is used, do meetings are held too often/to rarely.

quantitative evidence deals with the amount and qualitative deals with the quality of the evidence, is it realiable or not.

Your question is a very broad one and there are many points of view on it.  Most theories look in one way or another at phonemic awareness, phonics, comprehension, vocabulary and fluency.  Do searches for each of those topics and you will get lots of information.  \n\nHere are some links that should help you.

I don't know what discipline you're approaching this from (e.g., psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology), but here's a link to a study on intimacy vs. isolation from a scholarly perspective:\n\nhttp://www.oxfordscholarship.com/oso/public/content/philosophy/0195104609/toc.html\n\n_____________________

"Conceptual framework" and "theoretical framework" are terms used to describe phenomena that have not been proven yet but which stem from established experiments. By taking information that has been previously proven through scientific study, you extend current ideas into a new area, called the conceptual or theoretical area. \n\nFor example, I found in a study that people who felt that their supervisor cared about them were more likely to perform helpful behaviors such as helping co-workers with difficult tasks. This led me to believe that supervisor support would also lead to reduced absenteeism. Before I tested this hypothesis, my conceptual or theoretical framework included my hypothesis. Once the study was done, I either accepted the hypothesis or adjusted the framework.

salient - prominent \n\nmodern social and management research \n\n"positivism" and "idealism" are avenues toward (nurture) ie. behaviorism as a tool to control populations and idividuals. \n\nTo understand the basic starting point one looks at (nature) with evolutionary psych as a tool to understand basic drives.

Qualitative is contrasted with quantitative. Qualitative deals with words or ideas as data rather than with numbers. For example, if you ask people to tell you why we are at war with Iraq, and you record and summarize their answers, this would be qualitative. Usually it's much more open-ended than quantitative, meaning that you allow people to give their views in their own terms. This also usually makes it more difficult to interpret qualitative data, although many would argue that it more accurately reflects people's views.\nWith quantitative research, you immediately convert answers to numbers. E.g., "how much do you agree with the war" on a scale from 1 to 5. Or, Do you agree or disagree. Notice that the answers can easily be summarized as the percent who agree or disagree, or how many agree with what strength. But respondents don't have the option of explaining their views in any detail.\nGenerally, interviews and focus groups are techniques of choice for qualitative researchers; surveys or questionnaires are the techniques preferred by quantitative researchers.\nYou can find many good sources on qualitative research  at any college library or at a book site such as Amazon.

In academic research, this refers to some sort of summary of available literature on a certain topic.  This would not necessarily be an all-encompassing review of papers written on a topic, but rather would just cover the highlights of the most important papers to whomever is writing the survey.  Usually the literature covered is in the form of journal articles, but it could also include books.  Master's and Ph.D. theses almost always include a literure survey or short review.\n\nBut in non-scientific fields, this might mean something entirely different.
