This part of the book discusses sociological research. When conducting an experiment you have to think a lot before starting. You need a topic, a problem/what you want to learn, gather currently existing information, hypothesis, research, and then analyze the data gathered. For example, if I want to do a study I would pick a topic. Let’s say I picked alcohol use by delta students. I would decide on learning how much people drink on a school day. After that, I would go and gather any pre-existing data that could help me. Once I have any data I can find, I form a hypothesis. I take that hypothesis and test with a study. There are multiple studies, let’s say I picked a survey. Some may lie on the survey, but I get my results. The last step is to go over all the data collected and form a theory.
