PART 1
INTRODUCTION
Sociology is the survey of social life and social cause that links with the general human being
changes and behaviour. This helps in analysing the structure of society and how people in the
society tends to interaction in different type of situations (Alessandretti et al., 2018). This report
revolves around the discussion on the topics like quantitative and qualitative research, social
movements, alienation and sustainability concepts related to research.
MAIN BODY
Quantitative and qualitative research
Under the Qualitative research, research elements that involves elements that cannot
quantify with the hard data which assist in analysing the results through suitable words. Apart
from this, the quantitative research is helpful in interpretation of data in numbers, statistic and
graphs. The social world is available for the both understanding through concepts and facts. For
example, when a researcher has to analyse the overall behaviour of the group of people. It needs
to properly notice the behaviour while talking, replying, reacting, acting with each other. Hence,
observing the entire behavioural traits and attributes to prepare the report related to the effective
observation in the essay and it will be ascertained that research is conducted on the qualitative
aspect. Thus, it is essential for the investigator to conduct the qualitative investigation to interpret
the action and behaviour of target unit.
Apart from it, In Sense of Society Understanding the Social World quantitative investigation is
important for the investigators to conduct their investigation on the dynamic social problems as
for that they will need choose significant number of candidates and then recognise their results.
In the quantitative research the results are in form of charts, graphs that records the numeric data
that provides reader a better and quick understanding on research outcomes. Moreover, the data
that is related to sociology and social science will not be confined by identification of the whole
behaviour of the individuals. It is rather determined to examine the data of the entire society.
Therefore, it is essential for the investigator to recognise that how many persons are needed to be
selected in order to observe their behavioural aspects in the particular time period. Thus, is
essential for research conductor to focus on both qualitative and quantitative research methods to
have optimal and efficient research (Bahrudin et al., 2021).
