Differences between Quantitative and Qualitative Research Quantitative and qualitative researches differ in their approach to the nature of phenomenon they study. Quantitative research is based on the measurement of quantity or amount and is applicable to phenomena that can be expressed in terms of quantity. On the other hand, qualitative research is concerned with qualitative phenomena, and is concerned about discovering the underlying motives and desires of the subjects (Kothari, 2004, p.3). Qualitative research studies smaller groups that are not randomly selected, while quantitative research studies larger and randomly selected groups.

Armenian Genocide as an Act of Eliminationism

Introduction The word genocide refers to the destruction of a nation or a particular ethnic group. The word is coined from Greek words ‘genos’ and ‘cide’.

Background

Earnings Management Earnings management could be defined as activities that involve legal and reasonable management the ultimate aim of which is to achieve financial results that are not only predictable but also very much stable. We wouldn’t be wrong if we said that earnings management is the complete opposite of management which involves illegal activities and financial representations which do not reflect the true and accurate economic state of the company. These types of activities are also very commonly phrased as ‘cooking the books’. Earnings management could ultimately turn into a problem with the money making goals set ...

Group Interaction

Group C interaction involved a discussion of the videos, The Politics of Sociology and Planning a Playground. The group interaction, however, faced different challenges as the group lacked cohesion. The lack of cohesion was mainly because of poor communication amongst group members. Consequently, some group members were not fully prepared for the discussion. The issue of preparedness was, however, countered by allowing discussion of ideas by members who had already prepared in advance; therefore, allow the unprepared members time to compose their ideas. Due to issues of unpreparedness, there was unequal participation in the group. Two or three group ...
