The selection of a research topic is a very important job for a researcher. The range of potential topics for social research is as broad as the range of social behaviour itself, if the researcher has not been able to select the problem properly, his efforts may not yield the desired results and in some cases it may lead to frustration and desperateness of the researcher.
The selection of problem is not simple. On the face of it, the selection of a problem may appear to be simple but when one envisages the operational difficulties of putting a design into effective research, he may find that the selection of problem is a very complex phenomenon and warrants several considerations.
