Good research needs to be sensitive to how paradigms color perspective, frame research, lead values to influence what we take to befact, and lead us to produce less than perfect truth. We therefore need to be sensitive to how in research it is unavoidable that values will affect facts. Values are subjective preferences often implying what is right or wrong.
Facts are objective information about the world.
We probably never get to know facts in their pure form. Personal values as well as paradigm values lead us to consciously as well as unconsciously construct a partial view of the world. Value concerns about what is right or wrong also arise when we consider research ethics . Research ethics are based on the same ideas as all other ethics. Research involves intervening in others lives.
