Mixed methodology is the theoretical framework research for this thesis, which includes critical qualitative research and deductive research methodologies. Critical research starts with concepts judged the most relevant to the situation such as the value and impact of blockchain technology on society. Since beginning with ideas and premises about the blockchain, such as it will dramatically improve the accessibility to trade for many; deductive research would be appropriate in order to validate and show support this and other beliefs with practical evidence. In addition, a review of interviews will collect additional empirical data that support the theoretical base of our hypotheses.
In this article, block chain is compared to CDROM and the rise of the applications it had in the information technology industry. Blockchain is thus, considered a new technology which would take it`s time to become a positive source and get rid of the dark image it has acquired
The dramatic development of blockchain technologies seems to be a double-edged sword. Although cryptocurrency leads to innovative payments and transfers, it may be a tool for criminal usages. In terms of benefits, bitcoins have ability to solve double-spending problems and Ethereum’s smart contract is used for sharing economy. On the other hand, because there is no legal which is responsible for Bitcoin trading activities, Bitcoin is considered as one of the greatest risk to national security through illegal operations involving to financing of terrorism and extremism (Vovchenko et al, 2017). In 2013, for example, the U.S government closed down the largest website, named Silk Road, involved to illegal goods trading, in which there is 1.5% of Bitcoin was used for trading illicit drugs and counterfeit
This memoir employed a mixed methods design to evaluate the current system of justice for minors in Haiti. The problem is several juvenile participants became involved in the formal justice system currently set up for adults, with no intervention effectiveness for juveniles. There are remedies that will prove effective. In the latter sections propose interventions in the Juvenile Justice system in Haiti that will reduce the rates of juvenile delinquency when implemented.
This essay compares closed-ended questionnaires – as a quantitative research method – and ethnography, when researching refugee camps and security in the field of political science. The aim is to show what differences do using different research methods make.
We hear a lot of chatter about Blockchain changing the world and disrupting all sorts of financial institutions. While that's cool and all, we need some details. How will this technology turn society on its head? Thankfully, some of the top minds in the world are on the case. Here's what they have to say about it.
A mixed method study would be an ideal research method to examine school bullying. I am interested in reducing school bullying. A mixed method study uses qualitative and quantitative data. This research could include a quantitative survey and could also implicate qualitative interviews or focus groups. Quantitative surveys for example, can help the investigator to conclude that students who score low on their exams are the same students who are victims of bullying. Qualitative interviews for instance, can assist the researcher to know about the student’s feeling about bullying. In addition, interviewing the parents and teachers can assist the investigator to know more about the students who are being bullied and conclude a solution to the problem.
Research takes various designs, some of which are longitudinal in nature while others are case studies. Each study design has it various components that are followed and which distinguish it from the other (Menard, 2012). It should also be seen that each research design has its pros and cons and circumstances under which it can be used. In so doing, the researchers are supposed to pick on a research design that is likely to satisfy his goals to the maximum. Longitudinal research is supposed to take a long period, about ten years, for the objectives of this research to be achieved (Menard, 2012). It, therefore, means that very many resources have to be used in this research. This paper will take a look at one of these
Even though a lot of our systems are digital there is still numerous bureaucratic red tape that we must go through. Another problem is that all of our financial systems are centralized which in turn makes us vulnerable to system failures and cyber attacks. Enter the Blockchain this digital ledger can record anything of value whether it be money, stocks, bonds, contracts any other kind of asset can be stored digitally securely and privately and peer to peer which means it can't be hacked since the information isn't stored in one central location. The blockchain is set to change my life because soon the days of the banker being able to control our finances. Now using the Blockchain we no longer need to go through a middleman to conduct our business transactions we no longer need the banks or even the government to verify identities and conduct record keeping. As a result many of the large banks are also beginning to invest in this technology in order to streamline their business and to cut costs and increase security which in turn is allowing the consumer to save on banking and insurance fees. The block chain is set to change my life because now I will be able to conduct my transactions securely and privately and be able to conduct my transactions through peer to peer
Bitcoin established a whole new way of innovation. The bitcoin software is all open source, this means anyone can review it. A nowadays fact is that bitcoin is transforming world's finances similar to how web changed everything about publishing. The concept is brilliant. When everyone has access to the whole bitcoin global market, new ideas appear. Transaction fees reductions is a fact of bitcoin. Accepting bitcoins cost anything, also they're very easy to setup.

From a user’s point of view, digital payment is no more than a mobile application or program that enables them to send or receive a certain amount of money in the Bitcoin currency. However, behind this façade lies an intricate network that shares a massive record of transactions called the blockchain.
In a world where information is at your fingertips, privacy and security are the new luxury. The question then is posed as: How do we deal with the issue of trust and find a solution that will make us feel safe online? The Blockchain could be your solution. What is the Blockchain? The Blockchain is said to be a product of the new digital currency movement however others will argue that cryptocurrencies are a direct result from the blockchain design. Let’s explore further and then you can determine which came first.
The idea of Bitcoin and other virtual forms of currency have sparked a great deal of interest lately amongst the public. In addition, virtual forms of currency have become a media sensation. It’s a new elusive concept that is gaining popularity amongst financial consumers. Over $5 billion in Bitcoin and other decentralized currency are currently in circulation. However, how many people actually understand what the concept of Bitcoin is, or other decentralized currency? Even many who own Bitcoin/other decentralized forms of currency and utilize it in their daily transaction often time do not know how the system work. Recently there were new stories of government interference with Bitcoin businesses. Most consumer have no understanding of why. This general writing requirement attempts to explain the background of Bitcoin and decentralized currency; it further defines why Bitcoin is in popular use; and finally the paper calls for United States government to take an active role in the international regulation of this growing financial scheme.
Differentiation is a way of teaching; it asks teachers to know their students well enough that they are able to provide each one of them with experiences that will improve their learning development. As Carol Ann Tomlinson has said, differentiation means giving students multiple options for taking in information (1999). At its most rudimentary level, differentiating instruction means that you, as a teacher, observe and understand the differences and similarities amongst students and use this evidence to plan tuition that will allow for individual student needs to be met. Whenever a teacher extends out to an individual or selected group of students, through using the methods of differentiation in order to create the most effective learning experience possible, that teacher is differentiating instruction. Differentiated instruction is based upon the principle that students learn best when they make connections between the learning curriculum and their own personal interests and experiences. This point fluctuates for students who are working below grade level and for those who are gifted in a given area, to meet these particular student needs, teachers can openly differentiate at least four classroom elements based on student readiness, interest, or learning outline. This can be done through by modifying or differentiating the content; which covers what the student is required to learn or
The chosen methodology for this project is a case study. The term methodology is an overall approach for a particular study (Sim and Wright, 2000). Case studies have been described as collecting small qualitative data (Gerring, 2007) focused on narrow, in-depth examinations of chosen topics (Savin-Baden and Major, 2012). This chosen methodology works well with my interpretivist paradigm approach whereby I intend to explore the viewpoint of one participant (Baxter and Jack, 2008) and depict the issues they encounter as a teacher. It is also beneficial to my project as it is a pilot study therefore is on a small scale and likely to provide in depth data which could be applicable to others (Merriam,
I thought of writing a paper on Bitcoin because this is a very interesting topic and everyone tries to get into it, I will try to make this topic understandable by writing it in laymen’s language. Thanks to Professor Dr. Burnham who has given me this opportunity to write a paper on Bitcoin. According to the name of Bitcoin when we first hear this word “Bitcoin” we create image in our mind that there would be some coin kind of thing but there is no coin it is only a digital currency.
