variables that are intended to positive results. Present study collect data and information
from reliable and authentic sources that is useful to gain positive results. Reliability is a

Sweatman, 2017). With this regard, it can be stated that appropriate access of data and
information must be ascertained in present study.
 Ethical issues: In the present study, there are different ethical issues occurs such as
relevant and authentic information. Therefore, it can be stated that in research, this issue
must be solved to focus on appropriate outcomes (Kao, Yu and Wu, 2016).
