It depends on what the investigator is looking for, if it’s a quantitative information, they must know how to interpret that information in number, they must be exact and without considering the way of thinking of the population and the investigator, because we know that those data are for information like, how many women are in the zone or in what part of the country are the biggest group of something. Normally, this data is gathered to know information without considered the thoughts and feeling of this population.
In the case of research information about something more psychological or something that it cannot be measure by numbers, we need to categorize that information to qualitative one, this type of information is gathered to being specific, trying to investigate all the areas that a certain population have, but it’s not exacted like the quantitative information. In this information, we don’t use numbers, we need facts, incidents, how the people think in that community or information that sometimes it’s more subjective.
The way we interpreted the information can affect our essay or opinion of something. Most of the information we research have to be verified, because some information have a lot of variations and we need to tell apart the wrong information, and search for more to have a way to look the things more clearly and exact, that’s why we don’t must to hear only one version of that information, it’s not only for say which information has a wrong fact, it’s also because the population can have different opinions or information and it can change due to the position they were or are with those facts.
To interpret that information, we also must research in more areas. As we know, we have a lot of medias that let us search a lot of information, even when an essay can help us to know about a topic, sometimes it’s good to research in other medias, like videos or photos. One of the medias we must take care of it is the interview, it’s a good way to know how the people think about a topic or about a story of someone or something. This information it’s subjective, so they’re a lot of opinions and perspective of a topic. In this, you need to be impartial, you cannot give more importance to a certain population if there’s more of one.
One of the things we need to have clear, it’s that we can let that the turns or stereotypes cover our investigation, these things can distort the information we need to know, and it can create fake things that can affect our perspective. We must mention that when you’re looking for information, you need to have the newest facts you can find. The old information is obsolete, unless we need it to know how the people think in a certain age, but for information about situations or phenomenon that effect our modern world and don’t need information about the old thoughts, they’re irrelevant.
As I mention previously, a researcher cannot have stereotypes or turns that makes him/her changes information or doesn’t reveal anything about something. They must being stick to the reality because that’s the way we can get the realistic information, but as we know, we can being stick only in one reality, we need to hear the other realities that can complement our investigation, not only that, there’s also other realities where we can find information that in others we can’t find, because they have another perspective of that phenomenon or event. A common practice among academics is to entrust the choice of the method of analysis to a “statistician” from the survey team. Ideally, researchers should have more than a rudimentary understanding of the rationale for choosing one study procedure over another. This can allow researchers to better supervise the staff designing the data study process and to make informed choices.
Knowing the other point of view of the populations can let us know how that information can be interpreted for other people, this can help us to know how this phenomenon affects this population and why this is a bad or a good point of view of something. But everything depends also of what type of information we need. If you need quantitative information, we cannot consider how the people think about a topic, we need number and statistics, if you’re looking for qualitative information, we must consider all the points of view and the way the people think and see the things with that topic or phenomenon.
I think sometimes we need to know every opinion and point of view about something, even if they can have an opinion that can be considered incoherent or wrong, this can help us to see why people act like they do, help us to complete a part of information that we can find unless something little or to confirm certain information. Even when we hear a lot of opinions, we need real information that tell us if these arguments haves truthly good information, this can help us to rule the information out, and the opinions that will complete our investigation. We must remember that these opinions can have problems and incoherence, that’s why sometimes we cannot take them for our essay or investigation, we need to have something that can hold that opinion up, that’s why we need to be assertive and analyse the information and the opinion we have, not only that, when it’s a investigation where there’s not correct opinions, we must respect that opinions and take them seriously.
As we mentioned, sometimes opinions that we listen to aren’t the necessary information or the correct one that we need, at the same time, some of them can have stereotypes or turns that can affect the information we must analyses. Any information study process should have organized data, in some cases incomplete, with duplicates or errors. Cleaning methods are used throughout the process with the aim of avoiding these errors by combining different cleaning methods. At this point the data is processed, organized, and cleaned. For this, information study techniques are integrated that allow understanding, interpreting, and explaining various results from the presented hypotheses.
Filled with the pretensions of adolescents to the lyrics of songs. However, everything it touches becomes a nightmare: the health of individuals who use drugs, public institutions, and the stability of an entire territory. Illegal drug trafficking in Mexico has become an expansive phenomenon that permeates all social, economic, and cultural fabrics. As we know, the narcotraffic isn’t only the illegal activity of traffic drugs, now, it’s a complete culture with its style of talking, recreation activities, type of wearing, and even a special music as we said before.
For this investigation, we’ll use a mixed methodology using more qualitative information for the principal investigation, using those methodologies we’ll have more complete and rich information, perspective, and a better image of this phenomenon of the narcotraffic. Some of the numbers will be of how much money, people, and institutions are being affecting by the narcotraffic. For the qualitative information we’ll try to resume the feeling and the social and mental effects that are having the people because of this.
Since the beginning of the war on drugs, declared by the Felipe Calderón regime in the last month of 2006, the fights between cartels have provoked a wave of ill-treatment that has particularly affected the northern border states (Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas), concentrating 25% of illegal drug trafficking crimes. The state of Tamaulipas led the index of this type of crime and was sector zero of a wave of extreme mistreatment that left well over 100,000 victims across the territory, between deceased and missing, from 2007 to 2014.
 If we compare the period before 2007, in which Vicente Fox was in charge, with the following years, during the governmentsof Felipe Calderón and Enrique Peña Nieto, all crimes, without exception, increased. Home burglaries increased by an average of 33%, while drug cartel crimes and kidnappings increased by 174% and 150%, respectively.
From what has been proposed, it can be said that, when representing a drug trafficker, Sinaloa adolescents evoke a specific stereotype and 2 evaluations (positive-negative). The stereotype is of an individual dedicated to drug trafficking, has enormous economic capital and lives in luxury. As an example, the adolescents highlighted the following:
-People who own various material goods such as jewellery and expensive and luxury items.
On the other hand, the positive assessment points to everything related to lifestyles, power (influences) and material objects that a drug trafficker can have through illicit trade. In this way, the adolescents reported that:
-They have a lot of money, luxury cars and expensive clothes.
-The adolescents also evoked violent acts, typical of illegal trade, such as homicides or violence.
 In short, it is interesting that in the speech the adolescents prioritized the positive appearance that explains a drug trafficker. In this way, they evoked resources referring to material objects, social/economic status, and power (influence), all of which can be accessed with a known job, and which makes it possible to succeed with enormous capital. This leads to think about the idea of ​​meritocracy; Through this logic, it could be understood that being a drug trafficker is considered by adolescents as a job that makes it possible to enter a life of luxury. In addition, it is interesting to point out that despite the positive focus, the adolescents did not ignore the negative appearance, because they evoked resources that describe the aggressive behaviours and normal criminal acts of these subjects, and that deteriorate the social fabric. All the above leads us to think that they idealize the drug trafficker's lifestyle, more than him. As such, what mobilizes are luxuries, and violence is excluded.
Even when all this information is specific and complete with all we need to have a great essay, we always have to questioning about all we read, we cannot take only a source of information for all the information that we have to take to do this type of essays, more for a qualitative one, even when it’s a quantitative too, because some of the numbers that we take are different, depending of sources of information we take, that’s why we need to be critics and objectives of what information we’ll use.
