3.1 Types of Data
Primary data relates to the information can be collected or developed through the researcher. Primary data is costly and too time consuming, such as questionnaires（Burns &Bush,2012). Secondary data relates to the historical information and also refers to the existing data (Asker, et al., 2013). Comparing with primary data, secondary data is fastest and lower cost to access the existing information. Generally, for the sake of launch a research, researcher need perform many researches about secondary data to be available on the topic. So the research will use the primary data to do the questionnaire.
3.2 Choice of Method
When doing a survey, researchers need to consider two broad ways, quantitative research and qualitative research. This questionnaire will apply the quantitative research to achieve the results.
3.2.1 Quantitative Research
Hair (2013) mentioned that quantitative research aims to control a mass of respondents through applying predetermined response options and official questions. These questions are more clear and easy to understand in the quantitative research. According to those respondents, the results of questionnaire will create much exact and correct information to support this survey. In this report, quantitative research is to be implemented by delivery and collection on the review of present condition of service innovation and factors that can affect service innovation.
3.2.2 Qualitative Research
Qualitative research refers to collect, analyse and illustrate data and information through observing what people say and do, and observation and indication need to be non-standardized and qualitative form (Burns & Bush , 2012). Comparing with quantitative research, qualitative research is less s...

CHAPTER 4 FINDINGS AND ANALYSIS
This chapter will discuss the result of findings and analysis. Questionnaire delivered and collected in Singapore and the range of people will be performed through 150 students of PSB Academy and other different workers. All data will be collected from 150 respondents by applying statistics analysis，such as average, median and mode. All kinds of statistical analysis and test will be conducted and discussed by the author.
4.1 Demographics percentage analysis:
This part is to analyse the demographical statistics that are about gender, occupation, age group, and monthly income of the 150 respondents in the questionnaire. The author will apply table to indicate the percentage.
The results are displayed below:
The first foil or character that sets off Hamlet, in the play is Laertes. After King Hamlet's death, he, along with Prince Hamlet, return to Denmark for the funeral services. That is the first sign that Laertes will become a foil to Hamlet in the play. Both Laertes and Hamlet are very fond of Laertes' sister, Ophelia, which is the second similarity of the two. Another similarity of Laertes and Hamlet is the father figure of each, Polonius to Laertes and Claudius to Hamlet, has someone to watch them to see if they are acting accordingly. [accordingly?] In act two, scene one, Polonius instructs Reynaldo to go to Paris to give Laertes money and messages, and to find other Danes that will give him gossip about Laertes. In act two, scene two, Claudius instructs Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to find out why Hamlet is acting so strangely. The next similarity of Laertes and Hamlet is that they both grieve over a death in the play. Laertes grieves the death of Ophelia, while Hamlet grieves over his father, King Hamlet's death. The final similarity of Laertes and Hamlet is that both seek revenge for the death of their fathers. Laertes wishes to kill Hamlet after Hamlet murders Polonius and Hamlet wants to kill Claudius for the murder of King Hamlet. Both succeed in their quest for revenge.
In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, there are multiple times where the protagonist, Hamlet, is portrayed as Laertes, the antagonist. Although, while every character is almost a foil to Hamlet, only a couple stand out over all the other characters. Amongst Laertes, Fortinbras, and Claudius, I’ll be focusing my essay on how Laertes functions as a foil to Hamlet. Laertes is presented with similar catastrophic situations that Hamlet encounters. This is observed when both of them left home, faced the death of their fathers as well as Ophelia’s death. During Act 1, Scene 2, it is acknowledged that Hamlet is returning to England and Laertes asking for consent to France in Act 1, Scene 3. Polonius sends his man, Reynaldo, to Paris to spy on Laertes in Act 2,
Some may argue that Hamlet and Laertes are nothing alike, pointing to the different lengths of time they take to act. After Hamlet sees the ghost for the first time and discovers that his father was murdered, he says "haste me to know 't; that I, with wings as swift as meditation or the thoughts of love, may sweep to my revenge" (1.5.29-31). Hamlet wants the ghost to hurry and tell him what happened, so that he may take his revenge right away. This suggests that Hamlet is determined to kill Claudius as soon as he can, but weeks later when Hamlet watches the play in the castle, Hamlet thinks “yet I, a dull and muddy-mettled rascal, peak, like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause” (2.2.562-564). Earlier, Hamlet seemed determined to take action, but is now dull-spirited and without any plans for revenge. Laertes, on the other hand, is willing to take action right away. After discovering that his father, Polonius, has been murdered, Laertes rushes to
There are two types of research that can be conducted in research studies, these are qualitative and quantitative (Newman, 2011). Qualitative research is a process that uses detailed oriented methodology that tries to achieve a profound knowledge or understanding of specific incident and circumstance, wh...
Qualitative and quantitative methods allow researchers to investigate, explore and inquire the nature of the phenomenon being studied. It is important that the researcher develops a clear understanding of the problem and design a plan to investigate it (Cresswell, 1998, para. 1). There are a variety of research methods; nevertheless, it is important to consider which research method is appropriate for the study. Qualitative research focuses on human experiences while quantitative research relies on numbers, measurements, and testing. Nevertheless, qualitative and quantitative methods use similar approaches to conduct research and collect data. For example, observations and interviews are approaches used in both research designs; however, the approaches are used and viewed otherwise. This will be discussed later in the paper.
Qualitative research is an approach that attempts to situate an activity that locates the observer in the world by providing the study to occur in their natural setting and by attempting to make sense of, or interpret information (Denzin and Lincoln, 2005). A characteristic of qualitative research is to use a variety of empirical materials such as personal experience, interviews, and questionnaires. It is imperative to understand the task at hand and how to fully carry out the study when using a qualitative research approach in order to find out the information needed. One view of qualitative research is it involves examining individual’s experiences and documenting those experiences in detail (Jones, 2011). By documenting these observations the researcher is ensuring validity in his or her data and giving the correct creditability to those who participated in the study.
One of the foils important to the play is Laertes. Although Laertes does not appear often in the play, he brings much to the plot and to Hamlet's character. These two are similar in many ways. They both seem to be about the same age, are well educated, and gentleman. One main thing that they have in common is they both are seeking revenge for their father's deaths. Both of their fathers were unnecessarily killed. Hamlet's father was killed by his father's brother for the crown and his wife, and Hamlet killed Laertes' father over mistaken identity. It was the revenge of these two that made up the plot of the story. Because of Laertes, the two could finally fulfill their revenge in the battle at the end that killed both Hamlet and the new king. If Laertes had not challenged Hamlet, the king would have died by some other way; however, the king died by poisoning just as he had killed his brother.
Basically Hamlet's character is going through a tough time, he’s upset, disgusted, depressed, moody, and also indecisive.Laertes foils Hamlet’s character. He is the son of Polonius and the brother to Ophelia. He is described as a passionate and a quick of action person. The most important thing about him is that he is a doer not a thinker. Being quick on his feet to problems is what got him killed. Laertes warns his loving sister about Hamlet but also boys in general “ My bags are already on board. Farewell, my sister. Please write often. As for Hamlet, and his attentions to you, Do not take them to seriously. They are like violets in the spring, Fast-blooming and sweet, but not long-lasting” ( Act I, Scene 3). The beginning of the play he leaves Denmark and goes to France. Due to the killing of Ophelia and Polonius he returns back and seeks revenge. Claudius and Laertes team up and plot to kill Hamlet.Hamlet and Laertes has a lot of similarities and differences. They are different because Hamlet gets forced to be sent away while Laertes wanted to get sent away. Hamlet is more of a responsible person while Laertes is more bold and reckless. Laertes provide contrast to Hamlet's character. They are similar in multiple ways starting with the love they had for
Quantitative and qualitative research are often compared for their strengths and weaknesses. Yet, in many cases, both approaches compliment each other when attempting to understand human experience. When quantitative research is unable to thoroughly identify the information numerically, qualitative research lends a hand by giving a subjective intake of the data. And, quantitative research does the same for qualitative research. Proving that, both approaches help researchers grasp a greater understanding of human experience.
Laertes is a mirror to Hamlet. Shakespeare has made them similar in many aspects to provide a greater base for comparison when avenging their respective father's deaths. Hamlet and Laertes love Ophelia. Hamlet wishes Ophelia to be his wife, Laertes loves Ophelia as a sister. Hamlet is a scholar at Wittenberg, and Laertes at France. Both are admired for their swordsmenship. Both men loved and respected their fathers, and display deviousness when plotting to avenge their father's deaths.
Data Collection and Analysis Questionnaire The research was carried out on both quantitative and qualitative approaches. It began with a quantitative approach—questionnaire. Bryman and Bell (2003) asserted that mail or postal questionnaires are the most popular forms of questionnaires. Another form—self-completion questionnaire—was also common because of the overlap with postal questionnaire to some extent.
“Hamlet” is a play, compose by William Shakespeare, one of the greatest writers for drama. This play is centered on the young Norwegian prince named Hamlet. The exact age of Hamlet is not noted in the play, but it can be deduced from the clues presented in the play, like Hamlet goes to school away from his home country and Hamlet knowledge of fighting with swords. In the play Hamlet father died, however it is not until Hamlet finds out how his father died that the plot start to gain momentum. Hamlet’s father spirit claims his death, a “foul and most unnatural murder” (Shakespeare, Act I, scene v, line 25). This lead Hamlet to be roused into taking revenge for his father. The killer of Hamlet’s father is revealed
In this chapter, the researcher discusses further on research methodology used in the current research to achieve the research objectives as previously highlighted in Chapter One. This chapter will discuss on research design, population, sampling design and data collection method.
In qualitative research, focuses on the data collected through observation into tables. It uses open ended questionnaires, and unstructured interviews, and case studies. Unlike quantitative research, qualitative helps the examiner better understand the individual and more chance of a truthful detailed answer than a scale of 1-10. This is an inductive analysis, to be able to measure what we observe. This research can give researcher a more promising and honest
Qualitative and quantitative researcher’s exhibited conflicting ways of approaching a research. Some researchers prefer qualitative over quantitative and vice-versa. Also, it is common for qualitative and quantitative to be used together in a research. But, both methods when carried out correctly provide good research. Plus, both methods have their own unique differences and characteristics. In this paper I will define three of these characteristics in a quantitative and qualitative research design and discuss and compare their differences. (Smith & Davis, 2010)
