Investigation has a deeper meaning compared


to “inquiry”.
It is a systematic examination of a certain
event or phenomenon.

Immersion is a process whereby a researcher


immerses (deeply involves) himself in the data
gathering activities and the data he has
gathered is carefully read or examined by him
in detail.
Combining the idea of “inquiry”,
“investigation” and “immersion”, the concept
of “research” comes in.

cautious in giving results and findings by
proving lies and supporting the truth.
Research empowers us with knowledge and

to share valuable information to others as a
way of recognizing various concerns for public
