Why does Fitzgerald contrast “hard rock” with “wet marshes”? What does he mean?

1 answer:

5 0

These contrasting metaphors were used by Fitzgerald to convey the message that tolerance has a limit and that morality is always at stake despite having a strong foundation. The end justifies the means most especially when there is a lot to gain. Ethics can be powerful as described by a "hard rock" or weak as referred by "wet marshes".

For a marketing research study to have validity, it must actually measure what it sets out to measure.

Explanation:

When it comes to research, we need to make sure that the measures we are using are reliable and valid.

Reliability refers to consistency across time, items, and researchers. Validity refers to what degree the results of the research reflect what they are intended to reflect (if the research actually measures what it has set out to measure). There are three main types of validity:

face validity - the extent to which the research actually measures what it's supposed to measure;
content validity - the extent to which a measure represents all aspects of the researched phenomenon;
criterion validity - whether the results of the research correlate with other variables they are expected to be correlated with and not correlated with variables they are not expected to be correlated with.
