Abstract
There are many ways to conduct research. Choice of topic, data collecting techniques, and analytical procedures derive from the training, traditions, predilections of, and the practical restraints acting upon the investigator. Choosing the facet approach requires a shift in thinking, an imaginative leap even, not only in the conception of the research problem but also in the design and execution of the inquiry.
