Abstract

Researchers often use a mixture of qualitative and quantitative approaches drawn from various fields. It is possible to record or quantify quantitative data. Qualitative data are descriptive, linguistically related, and rely on interpretation. Quantitative data provides information such as how many, how much, or how often something occurs. On the other hand, qualitative data could assist us in comprehending the processes, causes, and occurrences of activities. Each approach has many advantages as well as some disadvantages. This research aims to evaluate the various language testing and assessment approaches and compare and contrast their benefits and drawbacks. These advantages included the opportunity to learn more about the development, administration, and interpretation of assessments and tests and the capability to research test-takers behavior, perceptions, attitudes, and understanding. The study's findings showed that the amount of time required gathering data using quantitative research techniques is much less than the amount of time required collecting data using qualitative research methods. Quantitative research methods, on the other hand, have several drawbacks, such as the difficulty of explicating what a researcher means when using a specific word and the fact that these methods can only provide an overarching comprehension of the topic being studied

Abstract

This study examines the perspectives of Begum Rokeya and Arundhati Roy on women's emancipation, analysing their literary contributions to the discourse on gender equality. The objective is to compare their views on women's freedom and assess how their works reflect and critique contemporary societal conditions. While both authors have passionately advocated for women's liberation, their ideas have not been thoroughly analysed in relation to the present-day struggles of women. This review seeks to bridge that gap by critically evaluating their works in the context of ongoing gender inequalities. The study adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing a comparative textual analysis of Begum Rokeya’s Sultana’s Dream and Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things as primary sources. Relevant scholarly articles and feminist theoretical frameworks supplement the analysis, providing a broader understanding of their perspectives on women's rights. Findings reveal that Begum Rokeya’s visionary advocacy for women’s independence, as portrayed in Sultana’s Dream, remains largely unrealized in contemporary society. Despite her utopian vision of a world where women hold power, gender-based oppression persists. Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things further highlights the entrenched patriarchal structures and socio-cultural barriers that continue to limit women's autonomy. The comparative analysis underscores the enduring challenges women face and the necessity for sustained efforts toward gender equality. By juxtaposing the works of these two influential authors, this study emphasizes the persistent struggles for women’s rights and the ongoing need for advocacy and reform. The insights drawn from their literary contributions reinforce the urgency of addressing gender disparities and striving for a more equitable society.

The study aims to analyze the ethical, physical, and economic difficulties faced by journalists, particularly in conflict-prone environments. It examines the role of journalism in shaping public discourse, the influence of political and economic interests on media narratives, and the rise of alternative news sources such as citizen journalism.

A qualitative descriptive research method is employed, utilizing document analysis of scholarly literature, media reports, and relevant records to investigate media ethics and journalistic practices in multicultural Nigeria. The analysis highlights the complex interplay between media institutions, political forces, and public perception in conflict reporting. Findings reveal that journalists face significant risks, including threats to their physical safety, pressures from political and corporate entities, and ethical dilemmas in reporting sensitive issues.

By implementing these measures, journalism can contribute more effectively to conflict resolution and democratic stability.
