There Is No Hope of Doing Perfect Research. Do You Agree?

I, definitely, concur with the Griffith’s statement that ‘there is no hope of doing perfect research’ (97). More often than not, researches are open ended and yield indefinite results (Schwartz 1771). Furthermore, researches are confined by various elements such as the hypotheses, methodology, data collection, sources of information, interpretation of information, time period at which the research has been conducted, perspective of the researcher and many other factors. Therefore, researches are prone to errors, biases, misconceptions, and various other flaws. It is impossible to do perfect research due to the perplexing issues and exuberant information. As evident from its etymology, the word, ‘research’, refers to the iterative process of investigation. Whenever a research is carried out, it either establishes new information or corrects the previously known information about a particular topic. All the previously done researches can be challenged in the light of evolution taking place in the world.

A perfect research could only be possible if a single study is able to incorporate all the perspectives, all the updated and imminent knowledge, all the issues

and solutions that are universally persistent for all eras. It is definitely impossible to achieve such a perfect research in the real world.

Furthermore, researches are performed and then confronted in order to acquire new knowledge about a particular subject. Despite the imperfect nature of the researches, they are not only beneficial but also essential for the sake of development in all fields of life. During my M.B.B.S. study program, I conducted a research on the impact of feeding fortified human milk to the pre-terms. In my investigation, I employed quantitative research methodology in order to determine the health benefits that included the development and growth of various organs in the pre-terms who were given the fortified human milk. I audited about 50 pre-terms, from various hospitals,...
