The method allows the authors to test the data with much greater degree of precision. With the methodology adopted, the researchers are able to process the relevant data in a systematic method thereby producing extrapolations trends and other forecasts, which assist the researcher to achieve generalizability, objectivity and reliability in the data collected.
On the other hand, Khalsa, (2004) derive many benefits from the qualitative method adopted. First, the author has been able to get better understanding of the terrorist act through the systematic investigation. The strategy assists the author to access a good amount of valuable information which assists in providing a better understanding to the phenomena.
Challenges
The importantly challenges that Weinberg at al (1999) face in their methodology is the challenges in representing the important political variables in numerical form. The political terrorism is a political event and using numerical attributes to represent political variables may be challenging. Khalsa, (2004) also face some challenges in his methodology approach. The methodology adopted is time consuming and the author will need to use several criteria in arriving at the valid and reliable findings. Typically, the author use several phases to arrive at findings. First, the author defines and validates the key elements in his research procedure to arrive at intelligent solution. The process involving reviewing the raw intelligent data to determine whether the U.S. has gained or lost its capability in controlling the terrorist activities. Another process is to arrange the data in its order...
Typically, the author goes through several phases in his methodology before arriving at concrete findings. Thus, the methodological approach adopted by the author is time consuming and may takes several months even years to deliver the quality findings.
Conclusion
The research evaluates the challenges, assumptions and expected benefits in the methodologies in the two research papers titled "Terrorism and the Shape of Things to Come. Terrorism and Political Violence" and "Forecasting Terrorism: Indicators and Proven Analytic Techniques." The two papers use different methodological approach in their approaches. While Weinberg at al (1999) use quantitative method, Khalsa, (2004) uses qualitative method it his investigation. The benefit derive from using quantitative method is that it is an effective method to deliver precise research findings. However, the methodology does not allow the author to immense in the phenomena. On the other hand, qualitative method allows the author access large information for the research. However, the methodological approach is time consuming.

' Indians across the political spectrum, especially the country's powerful nuclear weapons establishment, are critical of the NPT, arguing that it unfairly warps international hierarchies to the disadvantage of the non-nuclear-weapon states" (1998:15). In its efforts to balance the pressures from the international community with its own self-interests in formulating foreign policies, the position adopted by India has been starkly different than other countries. In this regard, Karp concludes that,
Regulations and requirements The Federal Aviation Authority -- FAA passed the "Vision100 - Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act," which among other regulations also allowed for the allocation of the AIP funds for the facilities like hangars and fuel farms. This is stated in the law that the secretary can pay the funds "apportioned to the airport sponsor under section 47114 (d) (3) (a) and if the Secretary determines that the sponsor
While on one hand, the Nile gets the highest discharge from rainfall on the highlands of Ethiopia and upland plateau of East Africa, located well outside the Middle East region; on the other hand, discharge points of the other two rivers, Euphrates and Tigris, are positioned well within the Middle East region, prevailing mostly in Turkey, Syria along with Iraq. In other areas, recurrent river systems are restricted to
Men are reportedly involved in different offensive and aggressive acts, which are deplorable and condemnable. The mankind has contributed significantly towards the social, political and economic growth of any particular region, but if the progress is evaluated critically, we observe that the progress achieved is much less than what the potential of the individuals can offer. So where do we lose our abilities, the abilities and qualities of people
Media Bias and Public Opinion It is often suggested that pure objectivity in media reportage is a myth. This view has become accepted as fact and is supported by the research and experience of objectivity in the sciences and other disciplines. Experiments in physics (Heisenberg) have lent credence to the idea that there is always a subjective component in any investigation and that true objectivity is more of a myth and
Even though Aronofsky speaks of art and artists relatively more often, I would say, than other young directors, there is a strong idea that nature still grounds art, in contrast to the illusions and hallucinations of artifice. In Selby's novel, Marion is a painter, and her dream is to open a store that sells clothing based on her sketches. Marion is terrifically cultured, and her mind is filled with
