To answer the question of whether there can be such a thing as perfect research we would have to consider the research methodologies employed and how the research question is formulated and presented. The human mind is complex and in its complexity dwells room for misunderstanding and the propensity to err, so as long as the human mind is engaged in research, there can be no such thing as flawless research.
To make research as near to perfection as possible it is important to look at the design of the methodology and eliminate areas that might introduce "problems" the methodology that does not leave any room for error. Since research is usually conducted in order to find an answer to a question, some of the information often times gets lost in translation. The universe is full of miracles and puzzles the human mind and conditioning is designed to seek. Humans are engineered in such a way that they have a constant need to question, to unveil how everything works, to want to manipulated, to discover how things work and to question why hey work and to question if there is a way to make them work better than they already do.
We are not born with readily packaged the knowledge, sometimes we come by things by accident and gain more insight into the universe by trial and error research is however when we seek to eliminate the arduous exercise of trying and failing. It should be mentioned that there is no way that research could be flawless or perfect.
The imperfection and the flawed nature of research is the very reason why it is important as each failure brings people closer to actual success. The best research comes from a need either answer a question or solve a problem- A what if question. With science there are usuall...

Overall, John M. Barry was able to define and characterize scientific research. Using rhetorical strategies such as, comparison, specific diction, and contrast Barry is able to show how scientific research is uncertainty

Aspirin was invented in late 1890s. More than a hundred years later, due to its fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory effects, it has become one of the world’s most extensively used medicines. Interestingly, this famous medicine, at the beginning, was invented by a German scientist in order to find out an effective remedy to cure his father’s pain.
Uncertainty can make anyone fear the unknown. However, scientists learn to work with this looming obstacle, for they frequently encounter uncertainty. In the passage, The Great Influenza, author John M. Barry depicts his idea of scientific research and how constant uncertainty impacts it. His purpose is to give characteristics to scientific research thus enabling his audience to view methodical scientific research in a new light. Barry’s inventive use of antithesis, metaphor, and rhetorical questions, establishes the important characteristics of scientific research, especially the ability to embrace uncertainty.
...e, the researchers’ suggestions are not based on evidence based analysis of measures for enhancing knowledge. Secondly, it is difficult to compare the findings of the research with other since it is the first quantitative study that explored the issue from varying aspects. In essence, the difficulties in comparison hinder the probability of validating these findings.
Evaluating and understanding research findings is a very important skill for professionals to acquire. It is necessary to thoroughly collect data, findings, and results of the experiments to produce accurate detailed accounts of the studies.
In a report by the National Alliance of Mental health, an organization committed to making the lives of Americans better who are affected by mental illness, they state that it is more successful when a rehabilitation program places people with a mental illness in a job rather than just train (3). Hope Network uses a clever approach to apply this method. Hope Network Services Corporation supplies their own janitorial services to businesses and organizations in which they employ individuals who have severe disabilities (Hope Network). They have no judgement or discrimination against these individuals. Even though there are risks involved, Hope Network still gives them this opportunity. For the other people who do not obtain a job from Hope Network, they still provide many activities that give them the ability for successful employment, such as personalized skill assessments, employability skills training, resume writing and interview practice, hands-on occupational specific skills training, and job placement and retention support services (Hope Network). No matter what employment services they receive from Hope Network, they will always
You don’t have to come from a poor family or be homeless to suffer from a mental illness. For instance, some very well-known people have suffered from the various disorders. This is to further illustrate, that not only poor people, or people from broken homes suffer from these mental disorders that the disorders don’t care about how much money you make or who your parents are. It also could care less about what race you are or what church you belong too. If you are young or old if you work on wall street or ride on the back of a garbage truck picking up the city’s trash. It can strike anyone so let’s take a look at a few of these people well known

Researchers do studies to gain information and there are set guidelines for reporting their findings. Flawed research sometimes is not reported for many reasons, pride and ego being foremost. The true results of a research project would be too dangerous to allow a new drug on the market, etc., or the drug did not perform as was anticipated, but the findings were falsified. Unfortunately, millions of dollars are involved in research and development of products such as cars and medical science, and one of the results has been harm to the end
