Survey research involves collecting information from a sample of individuals to determine opinions, preferences, or knowledge about a population. The key steps in survey research include defining objectives and the target population, determining what data to collect, selecting an appropriate sample and method of data collection, collecting the data, analyzing results, and reporting findings. Some common problems that can threaten the validity of survey results include nonresponse bias if those who do not respond differ significantly from respondents. Techniques like multiple contacts and personalized correspondence can help increase response rates.
Research Design simplified
The document discusses various stages and types of research processes. It describes the typical stages as formulating a problem, determining the research design, developing data collection methods and forms, collecting and analyzing data, and preparing the research report. It also discusses exploratory, descriptive, and explanatory research goals. Exploratory research is used to discover new ideas and form hypotheses, while descriptive research aims to observe relationships and explanatory research seeks to determine causes. The document also covers research design types like experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental designs as well as qualitative and quantitative methods.
Chapter 2
The document outlines the seven steps of the sociological research process: 1) defining the problem, 2) reviewing previous research, 3) developing hypotheses, 4) determining research design, 5) defining the sample and collecting data, 6) analyzing and interpreting data, and 7) preparing the research report. It discusses key concepts like independent and dependent variables, and the four main research methods: surveys, participant observation, experiments, and secondary analysis. It also covers issues of validity, reliability, research bias, sampling, and ethical concerns in sociological research.

Study notes
Some of the information below may be repetitive of what you have read in Creswell. In chapter 10, Singleton addressed field research, which overlaps with some qualitative designs, but for Singleton it is different from qualitative research because field research often involves quantification and more than simply observation. (Sometimes qualitative research also involves quantification) What Singleton addressed as field research is out the traditions of sociology and anthropology. Field research is probably more like ethnography than it is like other qualitative designs.
In a previous unit, we mentioned the use of existing data for research. Sometimes using data that are available lessens the data gathering task because you do not have to be dependent on others to return a survey or agree to an interview. Here is a good example of the use of existing data in a causal-comparative design. A former Princeton student who was in the Education program and is an assistant principal did her dissertation using existing data. She wanted to know if the reading scores on a standardized test (ITBS) were different after a new approach to teaching reading than before the new approach began. She went back to 1991 and recorded scores of 1st and 2nd graders for a five-year period before the intervention in 1996. Then she obtained scores of 1st and 2nd graders for five years after the new program and then did a number of statistical comparisons. She found significant differences on the comparisons so it would appear that the new approach to reading was effective. She could have set up a quasi-experimental design, but unless she did it for a number of years, she would not have had nearly as much data. This is a case in which it was not feasible to do an experimental design, but she obtained useful data.
Not all research using available data is causal-comparative. Much is descriptive. Probably the use of available data for research is among the top three types of designs used. Think of all the studies that come from the U.S. Census every ten years. You may have some good data stored at your place of employment. One researcher in Arizona has studied the trash/garbage of people for 25 years to find out how they live. Can you imagine sifting through someone's trash for 25 years? He has, however, learned a great deal about how the people whose trash he has swiped in the Tucson area live.
Moving back now to Chapter 10 in Singleton. While qualitative research is simply not acceptable to some researchers, in many ways, it can be more valuable than quantitative research when specificity and correctness are not necessary. Probably about 40% of Princeton students do some type of qualitative research for their dissertations.
Singleton refers to qualitative research as field research. He simply uses a broad category to cover various kinds because qualitative research is done in the real world (field).

3. Was it easy or hard to determine the research design to be used in your selected topic or interest?
For me, it is easy because in the first place I already have an idea where to start. I believe when you select a topic, you already considered what design you will use.
4. What are the factors that you consider in selecting a research design for your study?
As a researcher, I must consider various factors when selecting a qualitative research design for my study. These include the research question, the purpose of the study, the nature of the phenomenon being studied, and the available resources and time frame. Additionally, I must reflect on my own philosophical and theoretical perspectives to ensure that the chosen design aligns with my worldview and research goals.
Reflection
How does research design make your study colorful/ interesting?
As a researcher, I have come to appreciate how qualitative research design can add color and interest to a study. By using methods such as open-ended interviews, observations, and document analysis, I can capture the rich and complex experiences, perspectives, and contexts of the participants. This type of research allows me to delve deeper into the phenomenon being studied and gain a more nuanced understanding of it.
One of the benefits of using qualitative research is the ability to create vivid descriptions, quotes, and narratives that add depth and meaning to the study. It's fascinating to see how the data can come to life and offer a unique perspective on the topic. Additionally, I've found that unexpected findings often emerge during qualitative research, which can add to the intrigue and interest of the study.
Overall, I believe that qualitative research design offers a powerful way to explore the intricacies and nuances of human experience. It enables me to create a study that is more compelling and engaging, as well as provides insights that cannot be obtained through other research methods.

Application of Realism Theory on Civil war in Syria and International Relations
International relation can be best understood through the various schools of thought or
rather theories. They are significant in giving a comprehensive detail of the constructs that make
international relations. Realism theory still remains one of the most influential tools in
understanding events related to international relations. This is because it provides a pragmatic
approach in examining current events in the sphere of international relations (Maghroori, pg. 17).
Realism is divided into three subdivisions, seeking to explain causes of state conflict. This
include classical realism that argues that the conflict comes from the nature of man, neorealist
which associates conflict the elements of the state, and neoclassical realism which associates it to
both human nature and elements of the state. This school of thought is grounded on some
fundamental principles that make the core of its arguments.
The first assumption in realism is the idea that a country, usually referred to as a state,
serves as the main actor in international relations. It acknowledges the fact that there are other
actors like individuals and organizations, which have limited influence (Maghroori 11).
Secondly, the state is considered a unitary player, which is expected to work harmoniously, with
regard to matters of national interest. In addition, realists believe that the people who make
decisions are rational players, since this rationality is required in pursuing the interest of the
nation. In essence, the leaders are believed to understand these assumptions regardless of their

political position, so ensure their sustainability and continuity. Consequently, it is assumed that
states exist in an anarchy context, where there is no single international leader. In this
theorization, the role of nature in influencing human action is not ignored. It asserts that nature
influence people to continue acting in repetitive tendencies. In this assumption, it comes out that
people desire power because of the egoistic nature. The innate selfishness of human beings,
mistrust and their thirst for power explains the unpredicted consequences that can result from
their actions (Maghroori 20). Such human tendencies can explain the unending wars among
nations. Bearing the fact that nations are governed by human beings, their nature contributes
largely to their behavioral tendencies, which in turn influence its security.
Realist therefore assume that leaders have the responsibility to promote the security of
their country in all fronts. This can be realized through consta.

The Myth of Disability as Isolating in Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands
Jay Timothy Dolmage discusses the common disability myths that condition our
understanding of disability in his work Disability Rhetoric. He argues that these myths create the
perception that disabled people are “others”, through the portrayal of them as lesser, surplus, or
improper (Dolmage, 31). One of the myths that Dolmage examines is disability as isolating or
individualizing, which is perpetrated through narratives of disabled people living in isolation,
rarely having romantic relationships or friendships, and often being left alone at the end
(Dolmage, 43). This myth can be seen in the film Edward Scissorhands, directed by Tim Burton.
Edward is a human being created by an inventor, yet the inventor’s death before his completion
leaves him with scissor blades for hands. Edward lives in a gothic mansion atop a hill,
completely in isolation until local Avon saleswoman Peg Boggs visits. She is initially frightened
by his appearance, yet decides to take him home with her upon the realization that he is
harmless. Edward’s disability causes his transition into society to be largely unsuccessful, as he
is objectified and used by other people for their benefit, and at the end of the film he is forced to
return to living in isolation after their perception of him turns to one of fear and scorn.
Edward’s isolation from society is symbolically portrayed through many film design
techniques. The mansion in which he lives at the beginning and the end of the film starkly
contrasts the community in which the able-bodied society lives. The mansion is gothic, dark, and
partially in ruins, whereas the rest of the houses are brightly colored in pinks, yellows, and
Miller, 2
greens, all with perfectly manicured green lawns. His appearance also separates him from the
rest of society, as he has very pale skin, dark under-eyes, black untamed hair, and wears gothic
industrial clothes. The able-bodied individuals often wear colorful or light clothes and appear
quite “ordinary”. The contrast created between Edward and society through set, clothing,
makeup, and hair design work to portray Edward and his disability as unusual, creepy, and
“other”. Peg even attempts to “normalize” his appearance by giving him different clothes to wear
and attempting to cover his scars with makeup, in the hopes that it will ease his transition into the
community. This film phenomenon is discussed by Martin F. Norden in his book The Cinema of
Isolation: A History of Physical Disabilities in the Movies. He argues that filmmakers will
separate disabled characters from their able-bodied peers not only through the storyline, but also
through a number of design elements. He also states that this technique allows filmmakers to
reflect an able-bodied point of view and reduce d.

There are several different reasons why an intervention fails, such as the wrong intervention being selected or trying to solve the wrong problem. It is important that when performing and intervention that every thing have been severely observed and taken into consideration. I worked with an organization that was a travel agency, and they operated off of the commission that was collected from the booking that are processed, but they also provided a discount to the members that was taken out of the commission total. The issue was that when they initially opened the department there was no budget plan done and no guidelines were given, the agents were told to use discretion, and all though the department was a huge success in booking reservations they were still failing, because they were not withholding enough commission for the organization to operate under. Where the intervention process failed is that they never had formal training, which would have been a focus group to define the exact percentage to give to customer and the amount the organization needed to cover their overhead. During the meeting process there should have been definite guidelines to lead employees and managers from the accounting department so that the employees did not need to play the guessing game. Although they had the meeting nothing changed, because the problem was not solved with the employees and managers and was not addressed by the accounting department. The business is now in danger of folding because of the poor communication practices.
William Wrote:
Although what I am going to talk about is not my workplace but the place that I volunteer my time to sit on the board of directors for a non profit agency. As a board member we oversee the agency as a whole but we also break down into small committee groups to address needs as they arise. One of the committees that I am on is the planning committee. A change that was implemented by administration, program staff, and the board was all departments would start entering all their own data. At the time the agency had two data entry personal that was entering all agency data. So the change we made was that instead of hiring another data entry person we would require all programs to enter their own data into the collection software. This ended up being a failure that could have been huge had we not pulled reports the first two quarters of the year. What we found was some programs were right on target with getting their information entered with the first quarter. The Executive Director addressed this with staff. When the second quarter reports were pulled the data did not get any better. As an agency this failed due to program staff just did not have the appropriate time to take on more data entry. The agency ended up where we should have to start off, hiring another data entry staff member. I will say with this failure it actually turned into a very positive experience over all.

Midterm Lad Report 7Midterm Lab ReportIntroductionCell.docx
Midterm Lad Report 7
Midterm Lab Report
Introduction
Cellular respiration refers to all the metabolic processes and chemical reactions that take place in living organisms, particularly at the cellular level. These processes focus on the extraction of energy from nutrients. It is also responsible for converting the biochemical energy into 'adenosine triphosphate' (ATP) by the breakdown of sugars in the cells (Bennet 58). Cellular respiration is also responsible for the process by which cells release chemical energy required for conducting cellular activities. The reactions and processes facilitate the release of waste products from the cells. This experiment seeks to conduct a study of the processes and reactions involved during cellular respiration. The experiment will include several activities, such as having a study on the amount of Carbon dioxide produced during the experiment.
The number of levels of the growth of a yeast medium as a dependent variable will also be monitored during the experiment. There are other several independent variables associated with the experiment. These independent variables include sugar and temperature, among others, and their role in the experiment were also monitored. The experiment design involved the use of airtight balloons capped over reaction chambers that were used to collect the Carbon dioxide produced during the experiment. The reaction chambers contained sugars and yeast medium, which facilitated the reactions. Thermometers and pH scale were used to monitor the changes in temperature and acidity levels during the experiment. The paper involves a lab design that institute steps such as arranging the bottles used on the experiment. Notably, a proper arrangement to make sure that all the carbon dioxide released during the respiration process is well tapped in the bottles for correct lab results
Methodology
The actual procedure for experimenting involved taking measurements and recording of all observations made during the experiment. For accurate results, measures were taken three times, and a mean measurement was calculated and recorded. Winzler asserts that the mean obtained from the measurements should be used to calculate the standard deviation, which in turn facilitated the calculation of uncertainty (276). Below are the steps for conducting the experiment. It is essential to read the instructions carefully safety and accuracy during the experiment. Notably, all the lab and experiment results were well observed and thus making sure that there are limited errors in the whole process.
Consequently, all the steps required in the lab report were also clearly followed to help in getting the correct data and even not to affect the whole experiment process. The experiment involved setting the apparatus as per the set standard and the requirement. As per this concept, all the apparatus were set in a proper way to avoid vague results. Notably, to get the correct measurement and results, it is import.

Midterm Assignment – Instructions (Read Carefully)
In university courses, assignments (or assessments) are meant to give students the opportunity to demonstrate what they have been learning in the course – and give instructors evidence that such learning is occurring within the classroom. Because of these objectives, it is imperative to incorporate the specifics of what you’ve been studying in the course into your writing assignments. You accomplish this by answering the Midterm question in the assessment via the course objectives and readings from the course. The midterm will cover the following objectives:
1. Describe the role of rapid globalization in changing perceptions of security
2. Identify key threats to human security (food security, personal security, environmental security)
3. Apply the concepts of human security
4. Compare and contrast traditional international relations approaches to security with the doctrine of human security.
Additional Instructions
To answer the Midterm question you will write an analytical essay. The analytical essay is a practical approach to solving a problem. So think of this essay question as you would an assignment from your boss: “I need you to take a look at this problem and solve it for me using things from your IR toolkit (what you have learned, or know). Present a well-written, concise answer to me in four pages. I need it by tomorrow morning.” This is how it happens in the real world, and this is what we want to prepare you to do. To achieve this structure of the essay please keep the following tips in mind:
1. Remember that the analytical essay is highly-structured. Each paragraph should look like the others in terms of style and substance. Writing to the limit of four pages is an art and something you need to learn to do. So, don’t write fewer than four pages and don’t write more. You may need to write over just a little and then edit away the extra parts of the essay to reach the concise four pages.
2. Review your submission and make sure that you have covered the requirements of the assignment using only material from the lessons and readings.
Format for the Essay:
1. Do not use a cover page. Instead, create a header with your name, assignment name, and date. To do this in Word, go to “insert” and then “header.” Do the same thing to insert a ‘footer’ and include page numbers. If you need help, use the ‘help’ function to learn more within Word.
2. Your submission should be four pages (no more, no less) and look like this:
a. Introduction: Introduce your topic & include a thesis. To help you set up your analytical essay include three reasons why you agree or disagree with the midterm quest.

Over the years teen pregnancy rates have continued to rise in Contra Costa County as well as surrounding counties. Unfortanately, the town I come from is a small town within Contra Costa County so resources are limited. In order to address teen pregnancy there needs to be easier access to resources to prevent teen pregnancy from occurring. Teen pregnancy can lead to a number of different problems such as low socioeconomic status, greater chance of contracting a sexually transmitted infec.

Nordstrom Case Study Analysis
Nordstrom—“High Touch” with “High Tech”
How does Nordstrom stay profitable despite dips in consumer spending, changing fashion trends, and intense competition among retailers? One answer: Acute attention to detail and well-laid plans.
All in the Family
The fourth generation of family members that runs Nordstrom has brought the store’s time-honored and successful retail practices into a new era. “Nordstrom, it seems, is that rarity in American business: an enterprise run by a founding family that hasn’t wrecked it,” says one business writer. The company provides a quality customer experience via personalized service, a compelling merchandise offering, a pleasant shopping environment, and increasingly better management of its inventory.
Secret of Success
The secret of this company’s success lies in its strategic planning efforts and the ability of its management team to set broad, comprehensive, and longer-term action directions, all of which are focused on the customer experience. The current generation of Nordstrom family members was quick to spearhead an ultramodern multimillion-dollar, Web-based inventory management system. This upgrade helped the company meet two key goals: (1) correlate purchasing with demand to keep inventory as lean as possible, and (2) give customers and sales associates a comprehensive view of Nordstrom’s entire inventory, including every store and warehouse.
Demand Planning
Instead of relying on one-day sales, coupon blitzes, or marking down entire lines of product, Nordstrom discounts only certain items. “Markdown optimization” software assists in planning more profitable sale prices. According to retail analyst, Patricia Edwards, this helps Nordstrom calculate what will sell better at different discounts and forecast which single items should be marked down. If a style is no longer in demand, the company can ship it off to its Nordstrom Rack outlet stores. It’s all part of Nordstrom’s long-term investment in efficiency. “If we can identify what is not performing and move it out to bring in fresh merchandise,” says Pete Nordstrom, “that’s a decision we want to make.”
Inventory Planning
Although inventory naturally fluctuates, Nordstrom associates can easily locate any item in another store or verify when it will return to stock. Customers on their smart phones and associates behind sales counters see the same thing—the entire inventory of Nordstrom’s stores is presented as one selection, which the company refers to as perpetual inventory. “Customer service is not just a friendly, helpful, knowledgeable salesperson helping you buy something,” says Robert Spector, retail expert and author of The Nordstrom Way. “Part of customer service is having the right item at the right size at the right price at the right time. And that’s something perpetual inventory will help with.”
The upgraded inventory management system was an .

- 11. Observations 2 We call a set of data derived from an object (experimental unit) an observation. Each object is measured according to various aspects, such as temperature, concentration of some constituents, frequency of occurrence of some phenomenon, etc. Each of these aspects is denoted as a variable or feature. By assembling all available data on all objects we can build a matrix - a table where the columns represent the variables and the rows represent the measured observations.

Behavioral Observation 6 Nonverbal Analysis Linguistic Analysis Extra-linguistic Analysis Spatial Analysis Classification of Observation 7 We can classify observation in terms of the observer participant relationship. This relationship may be viewed from three perspectives: (1) Is the observation direct or indirect? (2) Is the observer’s presence known or unknown? (3) Is the observer a participant or nonparticipant?
- 14. Limitation of Observation 8 Observation may be limited by: The difficulty of waiting for long periods to capture the relevant phenomena. The expense of observer costs and equipment. The reliability of inferences from surface indicators. The problems of quantification and disproportionately large records. The limitation on presenting activities and inferences about cognitive processes. Experiments 9 Experiments are studies involving intervention by the researcher beyond that required for measurement. The usual intervention is to manipulate some variable in a setting and observe how it affects the subjects being studied (e.g., people or physical entities). The researcher manipulates the independent or
