On my own understanding, research is a systematic process of solving problems, finding

facts, proving theories, and explaining observations better. Research maybe subjective or
objective depending on the method used.

Research is important to human because it helps us in understanding deeply the problems or

issues of life. It would also evolves us to mark out the thin line between the truth and lie because
we will be able to make use of our analyzing skills. Aside from this, we will develop attitude to
not believe everything easily, instead make step-by-step observation. Most especially, research
would give us light to inquire the right information.

There are a lot of the purposes and goals of research. Some of these are to find answers to
problems, to provide basis for decision-making, to discover new facts, to improve existing
techniques, and discover pathways of action. Research papers would also provide validity on a
certain undertaking. And it's true that most research study aims to satisfy researchers curiosity.

Some hindrances to research are the extensive statistical treatment, cost, uncertainty and
issues of replication.

When there are ambiguities in some findings, retesting of design or method may call for
another investment in time and resources to polish the results. Funding problem is one of the
chief obstacles of any research project undertaken. Most of the researchers go for simple projects
which may incur less expenses compared with complicated research studies which involve more
funds. Research study may also tend to turn out uncertain. It is because some variables are a lot
more complicated than just a simple 'yes or no' response. Statistical flaws like poor design and
content go undetected, too. The issue with plagiarism is also concerned by the researchers. It is
important to stick to original ideas or content of research in order for the research study to avoid
plagiarism.

Research is a broad concept. We must give attention to what we are searching and studying.
Keen observations must be present. And mind full of ideas to conquer issues and challenges
ahead.
