In qualitativeresearch data's and information are gather in non numerical form thus give open ended solutionto researcher (Deb and Walsh, 2012). This present report has been investigated on basis ofqualitative method. Aim of this research is to gather an in-depth understanding of humanbehaviour and reasons that governs the same. Methods used in this type of investigation are-interview that may be structured, semi-structured or unstructured, group discussion,observations, texts, pictures or other materials.
