1.How quantitative research can seek solutions to mendicancy in city streets, or public
transportations?
quantitative research might be capable of counting mendicants, or analyzing
patterns of brief opinions about mendicants, it cannot on its own provide an
understanding of the cultural meaning of mendicancy, because cultural meaning can’t
be operationalized for quantitative analysis until it has been conceptually defined
through qualitative research. To start with, the very idea that mendicancy needs
“solutions” can be critically examined through qualitative research in a way that just
isn’t possible with purely quantitative methods. In some settings, mendicancy is not
regarded as a problem, but as a enlightened religious practice. In these settings, a
“solution” to begging might create problems for many people. Whereas quantitative
research might ask what factors are correlated with lowered levels of mendicancy,
qualitative research can ask for whom mendicancy is a problem that needs to be solved.
A cycle of research that incorporates qualitative studies with quantitative analysis
provides new questions to accompany our plans for solutions, ensuring that innovations
based upon the research leave room for human realities that don’t match the tight
algorithms that a purely quantitative approach might describe.

2.How quantitative Research can investigate and seek practical solutions to clogging of
sewers.
Handling a main sewer clog first involves having some basic knowledge about
your drain system. All household branch line drains meet at the main house drain. The
house drain then connects to a house trap, then to the main sewer line. The main sewer
line , also reffered to as the house sewer , then carries the wastewater from inside the
house to the city sewer. Similar to any smaller drain pipe, the main sewer line is not
invulnersble to clogging due to accumulation of grease, invasion of tree roots, pipe
defects, and having inappropriate or materials placed into it. As required by code in
most municipalities, the main sewer has gases and odors from entering the house The
house trap also acts to collect unsuitable objects or articles from entering into your
main house sewer. when you are having sewer problems, it is overwhelming and
frustrating. During this stressful time, you are just worried about fixing the problem as
soon as possible. However, without the right maintenance throughout the life of your
home, you can run into the same emergency situations sooner than you may like.

3. How quantitative Research can contribute to poverty reduction.

How poverty is defined, affects what should be measured, and how, as well as
the ability to identify poverty reduction measures (Gillet, pers com., 2002). This has
brought about a realization that new approaches are needed to cope with this more
sophisticated understanding, in a move to narrow the gap between previous
professional definitions and local perceptions. To understand more fully the nature of
poverty it must be viewed as the result, in part, of inherent features of the social
system. The author describes four general approaches to explaining poverty: poverty as
a result of inherent individual attributes, as the by-product of contingent individual
characteristics, as a by-product of social causes, and as a result of inherent properties of
the social system. He then elaborates a class exploitation analysis of poverty by
explaining how economic oppression, economic exploitation, and class generate a social
system in which poverty plays a crucial functional role. The general problem of poverty
must be broken down into two subproblems: poverty generated inside exploitative
relations (the working poor) and poverty generated by nonexploitative oppression (the
underclass)
