INTRODUCTION
Research is known as that kind of process which makes an work to be done in appropriate
way. It is related to that elements under which an subjective material is expressed. Also research
is that medium which enhances idea over a topic. Saunders research philosophy is that kind of
process under which both knowledge is being used. This research helps researchers to be more
creative and exploratory in the research they convey. Various types of research has been telling
vibrant terms. These terms are named as Ontology, Epistemology, Axiology, and Methodology.
Under this an process gaining has to be done over the knowledge in order to attain research It is
the choice of research strategy, problem analysis, collection for data, processing and analysing
the relevant data for the research. Similarly an research paradigm is over making designing to be
varied within the communication ton be conducted through practising over long time. These are
considered to be beliefs that various kinds of understanding over research is required to be
discussed. Under this ideal form of methods has to be used for making research possible.
Paradigm has been able to stabilise idea over forming research that has been decided to be done
upon an idea presented. These are considered to be one of the most important part which has
made the set of rules over research. Over seeking the entire research it has been analysed that
making an report on research should be made with perfect and appropriate utilization of
resources in possible manner. Philosophical assumption has to be done that has made division
possible in the form of positivism, realism, interpretive and pragmatism. In this research
paradigms is used as that kind of assumptions which includes all kind of work through review.
Further Epistemology, Ontology and Axiology has been explained in it. That has made possible
relevance over the authors review and there statement that has been given. All such things
explained in this research report has been helping in making various forms of research to be
done.
MAIN BODY
Epistemology
Epistemology is the subject concerning the nature of knowledge and justified belief. As
per this making an research possible which is required to be done with coordination and using of
resource which makes and organization making investors build trustworthiness in it.
Epistemology is the study which defines how the knowledge is related with truth, belief
and justification. This has made for gaining limited knowledge and dealing with various kinds of
issues to be made possible. It has bee dealing in creating knowledge and requirements over the

research. Words like “epistemology” was derived from the Greek words “epistemic”Task 1 –
Essay (Covering LO1, LO2) and “logos” where “Epistemic” is known as “knowledge” or
“understanding” while “logos” is known as an “account” or “reason”. Further it is known as the
theory of knowledge.
Various possibilities is required to deal with that condition which has been gaining value
with the time which makes leaders, natural, cause and limitation of knowledge possible under
this form. In makes relation of truth and justification to be appropriately done. This makes theory
which has made explanation to be gained with reality to be accepted. All this has been making
differentiation possible between various elements related to research to be done. Under this
judgements is covered in order to make accomplishing of task possible. This makes resource to
be available over the sources and spoken knowledge. These are much impactful on research
which makes idea to be possible conducted with appropriate skills. Under this questions have to
be spoken to make source visible to person. Various kinds of things like making a report, using
internet in between it, eliminating negative points. Introduction to various kinds of project
related things in making research possible (Maniruzzaman and et. al., 2017).
Logic that is being used over shares under which all kinds of products is to be sold with
making logical sense to it. Within this lot of handwork is done that makes knowledge to be
possibly under entomology. It is considered to be an affective part that has been helping in
gaining faith through research. Also data collection is possible with this. It also enables us to
think the way we think it should have been. It helps us in accepting the reality from our finding.
Epistemology focus on four areas:
 Under this making a studies to be done in easy manner is focused upon that has been
making students to complete there academic year.
 Various kinds of problems exists with scepticism.
 Causing knowledge to be justified under belief.
 Knowledge and justification is required to be done of all methods.
Including of data is big and typing is done within it. This has made health with services
to be formed in useful manner that has been making health to be possible in doing. Such kind of
relations makes reality to be conducted. Epistemology has been making an organization to gain
all knowledge about various types of research that has to be done. Epistemology is concerned
with the questions of “What do you know?” and “How do you know it?”. Under this making an
power over knowledge is required to be done that has to be focused in having different variety
that makes impacting research in proper way. In the research, if epistemology is used then the
researchers gain the knowledge for the question. This has made knowledge which has to be
created through the best medium possible that makes stress to be moulded at time of delivery.
Various kinds of ways has been developing in making a organization to be natural in its terms.
Epistemology is there for making research of questions possible through justifying the belief.
Also it asked a question like “What makes justified beliefs justified?", "What it means that we
know something?" and "How do we know that we know? It is the study of the nature of knowing
and gaining knowledge. According to (Tennis, 2008), Epistemology is what knowledge valid in
research and the finding from the research.

Ontology
Ontology is defined as the philosophical study of being. As per this various types is being
covered in making required expatiation to be done that has been making details to be used in
persisting all the epic kind of element for serving in plaining form. These kind of entities is being
questioning over the existence that has been taking place within research. According to (Aliyu,
2015). It was known as metaphysics. Epistemology is the study which defines how the
knowledge is related with truth, belief and justification. In this various kinds of researcher has
been explaining about ideas that has made an organization to be focused upon code of ethics
while doing research. It is a way of building ideas, knowledge, and concepts for a common
language to be delivered. Defining about the term is that it has been explaining a way of doing
research that is not followed in proper way. Ontology has been defining through making formal,
explicit, speciation that has been sharing concepts that makes slowing dealing with the issues
that has taking place within the making of research to be conducting over nature and aspects
related to research. These are being considered as the study of science which has been making an
conceptualization to be done in better manner. Under such branch of philosophy various kinds of
deals has been formed that has been making an organization to sustain itself. Then it makes
reality to be made possible through organization. The main kind of focus has been making an
organization organize various characteristics and has been reflecting methods that has done
reflection of an individual to be defined as per facts presented. It helps us in accepting the reality
from our finding.
It is a basic structure that allows the theories to be sensible. It explains the links between
theories in a practice that is usually accepted in the field. In this making an project is being used
through perspective that has been including various kinds of interaction that makes research to be
done in proper way. In this kind of method that is related to research. It explains the links
between theories in a practice that is usually accepted in the field. Ontology will help researcher
to know about the being. As it focuses on reality, it has helped author to know the reality of the
issues in sustainability. This has been making positivity to be formed. Also individuals has to
make construction to know truth and existence possible. From this, I will be able to explain my
research methods and conclusions (Ling, 2017). It has two important attitudes that focus on
being or reality on the nature of a societal phenomenon and in the school of thoughts, they are
known as positivism and subjectivism.
These branches of the research help researcher to understand the world and create the
value in the findings. Such determination over natural, concepts that makes possible analysis of
data. Ontology is very crucial to a paradigm as it contributes knowledge of the elements that
create the world. Ontology makes us question the reality of the social world which is created by
our mind. It helps us to analyse our understanding of the belief system of being, existence, and
reality. The different assumptions we make will make us think about the research problem, its
significance, and the answer to the question.
Axiology
Axiology is defined as the philosophical study of value. Under this philosophic kind of
organizing has been making within an organization that has attaining strength and weakness of
an organization. What is the nature of ethics or ethical behavior? In this study the all the
participants involved in the project are valued. Also research should be done as per the
continence of researcher. Different branches has made philosophy over the world which has

made understanding. These branches of the research help researcher to understand the world and
create the value in the findings. Major kind of development has been making understanding
possible. In this method certain studies has been made possible in order to conduct. Various
focus is over making a organization gain that kind of studies over making research to be
possible. This has made creation of studies over the address in order to make ideal negative
questions to be answered. Under this making an studies to be involved within the project has
made all kind of valuation possible. Also in this participants and rights. Focus should be over
issues that has been made in dealing with research. It is a method that reflects the way an
individual defines what represents a fact. It is also concerned with the question. In this type of
studies various questions has been answered which makes analysis over the respecting criteria.
This makes leading over generation for making loss possible for an organization. All of it is
making conducting appropriate study under this method is possible. Conducting makes
psychological acceptance to be done that is there to make legal order to be completed. In order to
make results possible through generation valuing studies which has made various kinds nof
elements to be created in proper way. Books that is done by doing research under this method.
Under this value has been decided by collecting axiology aspects which has been helping in
making philosophy possible through qualitative research (Liao and et. al., 2017). Axiology
basically denotes the ‘aim’ of the research which enlightens if a researcher tries to explain or
predict the world or only attempting to have basic understandings.
Axiology basically denotes the ‘aim’ of the research which enlightens if a researcher tries to
explain or predict the world or only attempting to have basic understandings. Under this making
various kinds of researcher to be established which makes valuation over judging possible that is
required to be taken into consideration through judgement making enquiry to be done. Also this
has been able to create anxiousness over the studies which has possibly considering judgements
in order to value process doing social research. Research has been able to make through
appropriate ways possible. Philosophy has been dealing with the help in order to make
clarification of the research possible that has been stated through small elements and big
elements. Value of the topic as well as data collected and the ways it’s being pursued. This
research philosophy process helps to clarify the researcher where they stands on of the research,
judgment’s values of the topic as well as data collected and the ways it’s being pursued.
Research Philosophy
Positivism
Positivism typically refers to working with an observable social reality and outcome
which is deeply rooted in science and mathematics. In this common kind of works is used as
a kind of reference which makes social realization about the environment possible. It makes
research to be done in deep manner through using referencing method under it. Under such
kind of repeated topics observation is scientific in every terms for achieving. Making an
appropriate ideals has to be used and makes relation possible ( Hays and et. al., 2016).
Various experiments are involved in it that has been used for creating business organization
possible. Social surveys, structured questionnaires and official statistics these have good
reliability and representativeness which are the quantitative methods preferred by positivists.
Making positive beliefs to be stated under certain formation possible. Positivism divides all
statements into three categories: true, false, and meaningless (neither true nor false).
Impacting business organization that has been making influence possible through critical

existence. Positivism is being divided through various kinds of things that has been used by
making an organization taking research into consideration. Study and reports need to be
made as well as value-laden of the information collected while we talk about the axiology
aspect of the research philosophy in qualitative research. Under this kind of research various
dependency exists that has been making dealing of human interest with dignity. Such
making organization over arguments through positivism under studies. The researcher is not
dependent on the study are there are no facets dealing with the human interests within the
study. Also research has been using an organization to make argument against positivism by
making negative impact over it. In the studies pandemic of research has made relation strong
and more effective. This make realization of of research needing to be focused over facts that
has made phenomenology concentration over meaning and pertaining to restraint of human
or individual (Carey, Ellsworth and Harris, 2016).This research approach is based upon the
idea that whatever exists can be either verified through experiments or observations . Making
various kinds of steps to be used in considering that has been required to gain summarization
upon the set of rules that are being followed and being mentioned as follows:
 Differences of logical inquiries is required through services.
 Explanation is done in making production possible over services.
 It has been able to take empirical observation with the senses that includes inclusive kind
of developing statement.
 Going to have an observation various senses to be stated under statement.
 Science applied is not going to be appropriate can work for research.
 Science must be value-free and it should be judged only by logic.
Interpretivism
This method has been making verification of possibilities that has been avoiding role
through various kinds of social activities which makes interactionism through roles possible that
makes important role to be hid. Merging of various perspective gain medium of interpretation.
Instances has been making an variation within the termination over having supply demands for
dealing with it. This research philosophy argues that human beings and social worlds can’t be
studied in the similar manner as physical phenomena. For instance, evaluation of psychological
behaviour of consumer which helps to determine the flow in supply and demand. Through
philosophy arguing has been made easy over the relevant factors that are to be irrelevant.
Sciences are required to be differentiating from various kind of natural resources required to be
making studies through emulating letter. This research philosophy argues that human beings and
social worlds can’t be studied in the similar manner as physical phenomena.
Critical realism
Under realistic emphasising and making facts to be involved within research projection
senses over truth with an objective and independence that has been making indication for
forming of human brain. Realism refers to scientific inquiry which emphasizes on the facts
projected by our sense as truth as the objects have an independent existence from human mind as
it’s related to positivism. This makes setting of objective with task accomplishment possible.
Making generation of ideas to be generated in possible way that makes projection to be realistic
through persistence and making critical picture to be projected through projection. Over the
research judgements has been valuing topics making data collection to be perused. This has
made research to be done in making various elements of research to be conducted. Trying to
make qualities through developing. But the view contrasts between direct realist believes reality

perceived by our senses and critical realist argues those are only a picture of the real object and
the actual itself. It has been asking about research that has made it to be learned like follow.
Evaluating own skills is able to make understanding through better and leading group. Group
leading is possible over such kind of places with theories (Brady and Gilligan, 2018).
CONCLUSION
From the above research it can be concluded that different kinds of philosophies that has
been helping through out the research that is being tested. Various explanation is being done
over the research that is being used and has been making testing. Under this various kinds of
knowledge is being covered and also applied. Under this theories has to be brought into existence
which relates making possibility over research. Under this Axiology has to be covered over that
makers has studies the research in possible manner. Main focused is through expanding better
understanding that has made research gained. Insight gained has been helping for making doing
of possible elements over the research. Importance of paradigms has been expalined while
making research possible.
