Abstract In this paper an accepted and cultured common agreement and understanding of what Qualitative Research does really means, as it is understood will be presented. Through reflections of the material there’s a need to seek and review established definitions and in doing so there’s a possibility to arrive at a defined understanding of qualitative research. Finally, discussions will be centered on how is the process of qualitative research applied and conducted by a social scientist and what would be the "growth edge" when it comes to educating ourselves on the practices of qualitative research.

Rendering on an on-line article published by QSR international (Ereaut, 2011) qualitative study does not just depend on numerical data or figures, which are the dominion of quantitative researchers. The understanding of the course of action taken with qualitative research when conducted by a social scientist is that it is used to advance an overall understanding of commons outlooks, behaviors, people’s value systems, anxieties, stimuli, ambitions, philosophies and lifestyles.
