Gratitude is a gift that the earth urgently needs. Consistent gratitude is a form of recognition of the gift and the giver. Daily gratitude can help eliminate the need for more and practicing more of only what we need. Gratitude leads to a society of contentment rather than one that's always in need of more.

The following section defines and explains Michael J. Hyde’s concepts of acknowledgment, call of conscience, reconstruction, calculative thought, and social death. As defined by Hyde, “acknowledgment is a moral act; it functions to transform space and time, to create openings wherein people can dwell, deliberate, and know together what is right, good, just, and truthful” (Hyde, 2006, p. 7). Acknowledgment takes place when someone opens up and makes room for someone else. They see that someone else is in need and instead of turning away, they take the time, as well as, the effort to understand/help someone else. More importantly, acknowledgment grants people hope to a new beginning where they have the chance to improve

Based on the preceding ontological and epistemological assumptions a researcher then makes methodological assumptions. Having decided on exactly what is to be studied the researcher then decides how the research can best be managed thus formulating a plan of action. Considerations include whether the research used should be primary or secondary. Whether one will test an existing hypothesis or whether one will construct a theory after having collated evidence. Finally one can draw conclusions as to which strategy to implement with the ultimate goal of producing the type of knowledge that is required. This then results in the type of method or methods of research to be used.
Gratitude is one of the positive emotions shown from research and clinical trials to enhance the general well being of human beings. Gratitude is defined by Emmons (2004) as “a sense of thankfulness and joy in response to receiving a gift, whether the gift be a tangible benefit from a specific other or a moment of peaceful bliss evoked by natural beauty. Emmons and McCullough also see gratitude as an attitude, a habit, a personality trait and a way of handling difficult situations response (Emmons & Stern, 2013).
Citing sources is a way of following procedures and avoiding plagiarism. If you are going to borrow someone else’s work you need to cite it in the text and on the works cited page. There are two reasons why sources are cited:
Referencing is a crucial part in a student’s academic activities, as it is required whenever a student completes a piece of academic literature with information from other sources apart from himself. Any piece of academic writing has to be properly referenced if it draws information from sources other than the original author of the paper. Referencing lends credibility to any form of academic writing whether it is an assignment, a term paper, or even a thesis. Therefore, it can be defined as the process of acknowledging the sources of various ideas used within a document that do not belong to the documents author. It is important to discus both referencing and plagiarism according to unit 4 of UR courses by summarizing the ideas contained in the unit (Smithson 2014).
The first reference of the expression "Appreciative Inquiry" is found in the footnotes of a report on emergent themes by Cooperrider and Srivastva that was written for the Cleveland Clinic’s Board of Governors.

Appreciative Inquiry (AI) was pioneered in the 1980s by David Cooperrider and Suresh Srivastva. (TCFAI, 2014) Cooperrider was doing doctorial research under Srivastva at Case Westen Reserve University, using the Cleveland Clinic Foundation as the subject. The organization impressed him because of the cooperative way it functioned. When the Clinic Cooperrider was asked to help turn the hotel around. Instead of changing staff or sending them to training. He sent them to a hotel that was an excellent example of the way a hotel should operate.
