Question 1.Empirical research is research using empirical evidence. It is also a way of gaining knowledge by
means of direct and indirect observation or experience. Empiricism values some research more than
other kinds. Empirical evidence can be analysed quantitatively or qualitatively.
Empirical research is a type of research methodology that makes use of verifiable evidence in order
to arrive at research outcomes. In other words, this type of research relies solely on evidence
obtained through observation or scientific data collection methods
For the sake of completeness, the term “data” is generally used in scientific research for numeric or
verbal information that is collected during the research process.
Thus, data assist in ensuring that a specific process or methodology that is best suited to investigate
the topic is followed. The previously mentioned process or methodology must be focused and
structured. In doing empirical research, a researcher would rely on experience or observation. This
reliance sometimes has no regard for systems and certain theories. Because this research is data
based, the conclusions, if any, that a researcher arrives at should be capable of being verified by
observation or experiment. Primary data in the form of, for instance, surveys, experiments and case
studies, or an analysis of existing information can be used
Question 2.
Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu – A person is a person through others. Ubuntu concerns how people
(human beings) relate to one another. It means the opposite of “victimisation”
