Answer with Explanation:

Overt and Covert research methods are both used in <em>observing subjects.</em> The main difference relies on the "awareness" of the <em>subjects/participants</em> being studied.

In an overt research method, the subjects are <u>aware</u> that they are participating in the study while in a covert research method, the subjects are <u>unaware.</u>

The advantages of overt research method is that the participants have <em>informed consent.</em> So, whatever happens is not the fault of the researcher. Since the participants are aware, it becomes easier for the researcher to record events in their presence. On the contrary, it brings about some disadvantages. Since the participants know that they are being observed, they may be<em> inclined to change their behavior.</em> This is called the "Hawthorne Effect." This affects the validity of the outcome of the research.

The advantages of the covert research  method is its <u>more valid outcome of research.</u> The participants are <em>naturally behaving,</em> which means that it is more valid as a method than the overt. It is also easier to access closed groups because they are unaware you are observing them. However, one disadvantage is the "deception" it needs to tackle as it <em>doesn't ask informed consen</em>t from its subjects. This has always raised ethical concern, especially for people who value their privacy.

So, this explains the answer.

What countries do you think might offer some strategic advantage to the Nazis based on their location? Explain your answer. Plea
Alexus [3.1K]


First thing that comes to mind is Russia had a strategic advantage to the Nazis. The Russian military knew the terrain (I believe it was mountainous) and the cold climate helped push back the Nazis. The Nazis actually tried to get into Russia.  That was the only country I could think of.

Most countries, I think did not have the military power to stop Hitler/Nazis from invading them.


Hopefully this helps.

<h3>What are traffic rules?</h3>
  • Road rules include both traffic laws and informal restrictions that may have developed through time to facilitate the timely and orderly flow of traffic, as opposed to traffic laws, which govern and regulate traffic.
  • Priorities, lanes, right-of-ways, and intersection traffic control are all clearly defined in organized traffic.
  • Traffic is legally organized with designated lanes, junctions, intersections, interchanges, traffic signals, and signs in many jurisdictions.
  • Heavy motor vehicle (car, truck), other vehicle (moped, bicycle), and pedestrian traffic are usually classified as types of traffic.
  • It is possible for different classes to share easements and speed limitations.
  • While some nations may have incredibly complex and elaborate traffic regulations, others rely on the common sense and cooperation of their motorists.
