Social Issues Research Research Method


Design
Overpopulation Quantitative Empirical-
in the Design Analytical Group
Philippines

I chose a topic concerning social issues which are "overpopulation in the


Philippines". Because in the field of social sciences, quantitative research
was used with the empirical-analytical method to gather quantitative data
from the study. Researchers are using this approach of inquiry to develop
theoretical concepts regarding many social issues. Data collection will be
conducted by applying the empirical-analytical method that will employ
largely population-based samples.

Activity 2- Read, Reflect, React (3R)


Directions:
1. Read the statement below.
2. Write a reaction paper on a separate sheet.

“Bakit lahat ng inyong budget, puro research? Aanhin


ninyo ba 'yung research? Gusto ba nu’ng farmer ‘yung
research? Hindi ba, gusto nila, tulungan niyo sila? Bakit ba
lahat ng budget niyo, research?”
– Senator Cynthia
Villar

I disagree with the statement of Senator Cynthia Villar which she had said
that "research is just a waste of money and not helping people."

Research is necessary to determine which solutions work better for society's


problems. Research plays an important role in finding new solutions for the
issues and ensures that we make the best use of current methods. Since
research can provide results by collecting information through managing the
correct methods.

Research creates an opportunity to improve our knowledge by gaining new


learnings. Additionally, it is a way of understanding different situations and
promote awareness. Lastly, it enables us to expose lies and to accept truths.
