I read an article for class An Introduction to Qualitative Research. Now the  question is what is qualitative research? My understanding of it is really research that is your own opinion and can be based off of whatever you want.

I took this from the article.

Why people behave the way they do

How opinions and attitudes are formed

How people are affected by the events that go on around them

How and why cultures have developed in the way they have

The differences between social groups

These are all the questions you can ask when doing qualitative research. These can help us understand the world as said in the article. These questions can give you a better grip o what you are researching.

In my collaborative research project theses are great questions to ask myself and they can help me think of a topic. Such as why do people eat what they eat? How do people get their opinions about food and what opinions do they have. How are people affected by the food they eat?

This is a good way to start a project because these collaborative projects are all going to be our own opinions and have bias in the research.
