CHAPTER O1: INTRODUCTION

Introduction

This first chapter of introduction can be considered as the nub of the whole research paper. This chapter provides introduction about the research. This chapter acts as the road map for the whole research. This chapter entails what the research is going to be all about. It is this chapter where the concrete purpose and objectives of the research are iterated explicitly. This chapter first of all provides a brief introduction about the topic of the research. After introducing the topic the background or the roots are discussed from where the topic of the research is derived. The purpose of describing the background and to undertake discussion about the roots of the topic is to develop complete grasp and understanding about the research topic. After that the most imperative part of the paper comes that is the description of the aims and objectives of the research. In this section of aims and objectives, the purpose of the research is mentioned. It is this section of research paper on the basis of which this chapter can be considered as the road map of the entire research. The section of aims and objectives is referred to as the road map of the research because by providing the aims and objectives this section provides provide a direction to the process of research.

Besides discussing the above imperative points there are some other issues are also mentioned in this chapter such as the different obstacles that may come in the way of research. These are the factors that can impede the researcher to fully explore and completely accomplish the goals of the research. Ethical considerations are also listed down in this chapter. One of the intriguing factors that is defined in this chapter is about the significance of the study. Every research that is conducted is aimed to provide certain advantages which in turn ...
