    The representative sample is the only way to get an accurate picture of the attitudes and experiences of an entire population. They key point in sampling is to remember that the best way to base a generalization is not to use the exceptional cases in extremes. A population is all the cases in a group in which experiments or samples may be used for a study. A sample that fairly represents a population because each individual in the study has in equal chance of being included is known as a random sample. Another research method is the descriptive method known as naturalistic observation. This method involves observing and recording behavior in a situation that is occurring naturally without any manipulation. This method can range anywhere from observing animal societies in the jungle to interactions between a parent and their child. This method in 1999 enabled Robert Levine and Ara Norenzyan to define pace of life as walking speed, the speed with which postal clerks completed a simple task and the accuracy of public clocks.…
