Ethical Research    Throughout the years,
scientists have engaged in an array of ethically
questionable research endeavors possessing
dubious scientific value or validity. From the
Nazi experimental trials to Stanley Milgram to
the Tuskegee experiments, scientists have engaged
in ethically unsound research in the name of

Discussion 1 DQ 1 Overview of Qualitative
Methods    Qualitative research is fundamentally
distinct from its quantitative counterpart. While
quantitative research methods rely upon the
conversion of observable phenomena into numeric
data, qualitative analyses do not necessitate
such a transformation of data points. Qualitative
analysis offers a discriminating researcher a
very nuanced approach to examining many specific
social phenomena and is enjoying resurgence among
researchers.

justice, it is a well-known fact that pure
quantitative research cannot adequately touch
