VI. Concept Notes
The Importance of Research in Our Daily Life
Research has gradually changed human life through history. It has made our
lives comfortable, easy and secured. Among the many products of research that really
changed our perspectives in life are the existences of electricity, computers, internet
and many others. Can you imagine if no one has dared to conduct research on these
things? For sure, life will be miserable. Hence, research is very significant in our lives.
Here are some of the upshots of research to our daily lives.

1. Research aims for truth.

We crave truth for no one has the desire to live in lies. Research is about
establishing truth based on evidence or data. We conduct a study to seek for
truth. Just imagine, for many years, men believed that everything revolved
around us. But thanks to Copernicus, because of his tedious research, we know
now that it is not Earth which is the center of the universe but the sun. Beyond
doubt, research provides us an explanation or solution to problem based on
truth.

2. Research improves quality of human life.

All the technological advancements, we have benefited from are brought
by different research. We can cook now with a matter of pushing a button with
the use of a rice cooker or electric stove. We can call and see our friends abroad
without hustles with social media platforms. We can enjoy staying at home with
the use of your smart phones. Through research, our standard of living keeps
on improving.

3. Research saves life.

In the past, when penicillin was not yet discovered, people just die
without proper medication. It was by the research of Alexander Fleming that the
first generation of antibiotics were discovered. In the same manner, how can
we forget the research of Dr. Abelardo Aguilar, a Filipino doctor, one of the
contributors to the discovery of Erythromycin during the late 1940s? Now, we
have effective medicine in bacteria that causes infections in the respiratory
tract. Moreover, Dr. Fe Del Mundo improved the incubator and jaundice
relieving device.

With our situation now with the threat of COVID 19, the only hope is
research. Research on understanding the disease, development of vaccines,
and medication will save us.

4. Research explores humanity.

Research deals with the investigation of culture to understand and to
appreciate others' practices, and beliefs. The way we understand others is the
result of a long study of different individuals to provide us explanations about
group or individual culture. Because of this, we can now relate, understand, and
respect others.

day of our lives. For us to make sense of our world and of our own lives, we
