...everyday knowledge. Our everyday knowledge-gathering strategies can suffer from a number of weaknesses and cannot be called a complete study, analysis, or a scientific fact. It is important that sociologists observe the ethics of their discipline in carrying out research. They have an obligation to protect their research subjects from risk and harm and to protect these subjects’ rights and dignity. They have to consider many things when delving into their research such as -voluntary participation, informed consent, confidentiality, anonymity, right to service, etc. To ensure the safety and rights of participants a panel known as Institutional Review Board (IRB) was established. Ethics these days play a much more important role than it did in the days of Tuskegee experiments. As soon as a question arises in someone’s mind another one must follow that traces ethics and morals. Scientific research involves a systematic process that focuses on being objective and gathering a multitude of information for analysis so that the researcher can come to a conclusion. There are Seven Steps of the Research Process- (1) Defining the research problem; (2) Reviewing the Evidence; (3) Making the problem precise; (4) Working out a decision; (5) Carrying out the research; (6) Interpreting the results; (7) Reporting the findings. Lets take a look at each of these steps in detail – (1) Defining the research problem- can be easily defined as selecting a topic for research. Defining the problem...

...Case Study Tresa Jellison HCS/483 November 12, 2012 Dr. Kaderie Case Study The basic IT implementation process is the whole process of setting up and running an IT based program for a company. It starts from the beginning to the end of the process and throughout the whole process even after the last step has been taken. You have the planning stage, and this will include what exactly what you are looking for and what you want the program to do and how it will operate. Who will be using this program and who will it be beneficial to. You will have to go and get bids or quotes from companies that can provide this type of service. Depending on what is being implemented you have to do weeks, months and even years of research to ensure that the program will benefit everyone involved and that time and money is not being wasted. A lot of the things that were done are this analysis did not follow the fundamentals of implementation. During the execution of the program there where many bugs that had to be fixed that could have been prevented if the right questions and queries where ran before going live. There should have been a trial or practice run before the whole system went live. And they should have not done it at all of the sites. Only a couple of the sites should have had the program and should have been using it to get the bugs out. There were way off budget and there were a lot of hidden details that should have been reported. At least this way there would have...
