Mood: Dried out................:(

haiz............the 2 lectures attended 2day been okay...........tho the 1 on social research methods hv been quite dry........basically juz kao peh abt how 2 go abt writing a research paper........but 1 issue which interest mi was the incident of participant observation..............where....dat dunno Alfred did a research on Church of Satan....where he feigned belief n participated in the activities........in fact he's so good at it he managed 2 rise up to b the "Vice-Devil".....supposed 1 of the high in commands...........wats farni was his confession 2 the church leader dat he's actually doing a research on them...n the leader replied:"It's an appriopriately satanic thing 2 do."...............well..guess u can say dat the leader is really gone 2 the max in his beliefs................>_<....................

dis issue concern abt ethics of research...........since the module calls 4 the participants 2 b notified n consented 2 the research itself............dis sounds contradictory if u r supposed 2 research taboo topics such as satanism, drugs, sex etc.......................the research done would hv difficulties in achieving validity n reliabilty....................

well...........since i begin on dis mod......there's no turning back.....no matter how dry it is..........but i'm still anticipating the research.....it SHOULD b FUN..........well....hope so.........
