PRACTICAL RESEARCH 2

A REACTION PAPER ABOUT THE IMPACT OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH

ITSELF ON THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE

Quantitative research is an imperative methodology in people's lives, on the grounds that

in most, if not everything we do throughout our everyday lives, we measure to perceive how

much there is of something. Quantitative technique is important for our day-to-day lives, that

even from birth, information are continually being gathered, evaluated, and re-surveyed as we

develop.

You can say individuals begin utilizing statistics when they don't know about things,

when they have no inclination with the issue, a lot of separation. They have no insight nor

experience, are no experts that have no been there, done that. It is a indication of an abstract

society, where individuals become numbers. So counting is diminishing life to tables, it creates,

and yet is an impact of alienation at the same time. On the other hand, numbers can ensure that

we comprehend what we are discussing. So it's about equilibrium. We can go excessively to one

side, yet also go to much on the opposite side. Utilizing numbers makes us aware of what we are

discussing, and at the same time makes us not realizing what we are discussing. Are we still

talking about life, people, or are we talking about abstract models, parameters, constants?

I solidly believe that the most beneficial research is quantitative research. While a few

researches may have to do with subjective or qualitative subjects, in the event that it isn't done in

a composed manner, its outcomes will be less reliable. We are in the advanced and technological

world progressively demanding that our everyday data be based on some methodology with

scientific or logical exactness. Our weather forecasts and reports are vital to our planning a

trouble-free work or play day. Being ready for the climate will make it simpler to enjoy our

environment by being ready. It can likewise spare our lives on the off chance that it encourages
us to evade or protect ourselves from extreme weather conditions. Our governemental food

agencies and horticultural industry gives a safe food supply gracefully by required testing of the

food creation and distribution system putting pressure on the industry to do it securely for us in

our daily needs, feeding our countless residents.

Simply envision what occurs in nations whose food supply has been harmed or intruded.

Quantitative random sampling of the food supply is important to keep the industry to remain

operational and alert, seeing that they give a safe and nutritious food supply. Measurement of

river and ocean water quality by state and federal environmental agencies support our ability to

drink and utilize clean water in our day-to-day lives. Any push to confine the operation of the

Environmental Protection Agency from observing our current circumstance utilizing quantitative

research, guaranteeing our ecological quality, will debase our daily lives. The Federal Reserve

Board does quantitative examination on our economy to conclude how to smooth out the threats

and dangers to our economy by lowering or raising interest rates, suppressing inflation and

providing a stable money supply which is essential to our daily lives. There are individuals

working in the background in the administration and in industry playing against one another to

screen the accompanying of the laws that we have proclaimed to improve life for our residents.

Without quantitative research, our every day lives would be tossed into turmoil and

confusion as it was the point at which the commanders of industry could do what they wanted

with a gullible public. Concealed quantitative research is additionally being done at colleges and

industry with expectations of growing and developing new thoughts and ideas that will improve

the everyday lives of the people today and in the future.
