Lecture 12

On Monday we learnt about the ethical issues faced while researching. Ethics are the rules made and
accepted by a society that cannot be forced on anyone and is absolutely based on ones belief. It helps
people differentiate between good and bad. The first and foremost ethic of research is to protect rights
and welfare of the research participants. Protecting the vulnerable ones, making them comfortable,
informing the participants about research and their rights to withdraw from it at any time, keeping the
information of the participant confidential and anonymous, not deception to the participants are some
of the major ethics that are to be followed during research. This lecture was very important one as it
made me aware about the dos and donts of the research which is very important being a student.
