The truth about research
Research is "to search again'. It means to prove what exists and to review what has been proven. It is to prove again what has been proven. That is why research is a tedious task. In formal schooling, research is the investigation of a certain phenomenon. It is a way to justify and explain why these phenomena occur. It is a scientific process that undergoes series of steps which a researcher follows. Unknowingly, research is a vital part of our lives. It is something we do that we are not aware of. This can be proven with our rationality in which we try to find answers everyday. We use our senses to believe that something exists and we use our reasoning to justify our doings. As human beings, research is empirical. It is a way of life. Without it, we could have not existed in this world for this long and we could have not had these innovations around us. However, amidst the advantages brought to us by our discoveries especially in the field of medicine and modern technologies, there have been negative impacts which would also result to our possible extinction.

Yes. Research is a very vital part of our life. So funny that we do it without even knowing. Though, we have the general mindset that research are done by scholars. We're researchers because we also try to find solutions to our problems.
I totally agree with this. Worst is people having formal education are having a hard time finishing their theses or dissertations. Some would even spend a lot of money just to get a degree. That is why a lot of people would think that research is a burden more than a solution because of the educational system. The truth is it should be done as a response to the problems we encounter around us.
