As a result, we attempt to investigate about these problems ourselves. In this
scenario, our knowledge in research is very important.
Among the steps we take is asking ourselves, “Why do I need to pursue the
answers to these questions? Well, for that matter, you must realize that research
plays a big role in the lives of the people-your family, friends, and neighbors.
