Despite the information available in journals, publications, newspapers, and other sources, it is always important for a researcher to conduct a field research. The three kinds of field research to consider are: interviews, observations, and surveys/questionnaires. The social issue examined is the effect of littering in the community. There are a number of issues that affect the society. Some of these matters are social, economic and political. The biggest percentages of these issues are social and one of them is littering in the community. Simply put, littering is the process of throwing objects on the ground or leaving them on the ground without properly disposing them. These litters may comprise of pieces of wastes, papers, or rubbish, which may have an effect on the environment when not properly disposed. This is the reason every community should be sensitized on the need of proper littering of waste products. I am connected to the community because it is the one in which I have been brought up. Although every person should be sensitized on the need of proper littering, there are specific sectors and areas in every community that has a mandate to ensure the cleanliness of the region (Baxter 69). This is why a field research shall be conducted on littering in the community. First, interviews shall be conducted to establish the effects of littering in the community. Interviews shall be conducted on the residents of the region and especially those who experience the effects of littering. These are women and men who work and reside within the region. Others will be community development officers who ensure a proper well-being for the residents. Finally, interviews shall be conducted on health officers who manage hospitals within the community. Observations shall be conducted to establish the people who litter much. Also, observations shall be on course to ascertain the effect of littering on the residents. When the results of interviews and observations analyzed, the effects of littering can be established. Also, solutions to these effects can be established so that the community stays litter-free.
