Abstract

“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first known” (da Vinci, quoted by Powell, 2004, p.1). As human beings, we are always afraid about the unknown, about what is not familiar. Even though this is acceptable because of the fear of changing the way humans have been living so far, it is not justifiable. Some people have the illusion of still being rooted in the community in which they grew up (Nimon, 2003). But the truth is that our world is changing and humans are moving on with it, as happens with technology. Humans are being prompted by it. The organization of this article is as follows. The background supports the idea of this topic. This is followed by some concepts, characteristics and theories of the research methodology. Then I suggest a direction for the future, ending with the conclusion.
