Jam with a BANG!!!!!

The Jams are back again, just a month before the year’s over. We’ve got another deadly line up and all we can say is that: ‘tis the season of joy & music. Given that it’s summer; it’s time to get your sweat on y’all. 6th November is the date to diarize & Thesis Concept Store is the location for your GPS.

Sai & Ribatone are nothing short of being one of the best duo in Soweto. Sai on the decks & Riba on the keyboard, their delectable sounds will certainly give you something to chew on. This is towards the launch of their much anticipated debut album: Here & Now.

Miz Buttonz is another pioneer in the TSJS sounds; returning to the Jams since her last performance in 2009. She has a magnificent way of playing around with jazz, hip hop & a bit of dubstep, all interconnected. She’s just superb.

A new entry to our awesome Dj line-up is Dubltot. The last time some of the TSJS crew got to listen to him was in Tembisa; at Papa Chillos in 2008. His sound has gotten better since then, it’s guaranteed fire from this cat.

Our band for the day is Season; a 3-piece banger we look forward to having on our new stage. The trio’s different influences range from the soul singer Raphael Saadiq to electro giants Daft Punk, from jazz legend John Coltrane to John Mayer, Ceelo Greene, Arctic Monkey and Musiq Soulchild. Their music is a combination of soul music, jazz, reggae and rock all blended in a familiar but refreshing way.

The comedy society from Pretoria will be supplying a fresh new bunch of comedians to our hood/burb. They go by the names of Rami Rakau & Sipho Moloi - stiches, stiches, stiches, stitches….

Let’s get this show started and open the gates for the festive season. Don’t forget that the new THESIS summer 2011 range will be in store, so brace yourself. Things will never be the same again.

Research Philosophy

Research philosophy is the way through which the researcher generates knowledge in the context of the research. There are mainly four forms of research philosophy. First is positivism research philosophy. According to the positivism research philosophy social world can be perceived in objective manner. In this research philosophy, researcher is objective analyst. It also states that research is value free and researcher works at independent base. Contrary to this research philosophy, in interpretive research philosophy, researcher states that it is not easy to understand the social world through the principles. It states that social world can be interpreted in subjective manner. Main focus of this research philosophy is to understand the meanings through which people experiences in social world. It is based on the principle, which states that the researcher performs a specific role to observe the social world. According to this research philosophy, research is based on researcher’s interests.

Third is pragmatism research philosophy, which handles with actual facts. It states that in choosing research philosophy, research question is the key determinant. Practical outcomes are considered important in this research philosophy. Fourth research philosophy is realism research philosophy (Lancaster, 2005). This research philosophy is based on the principles of positivism and interpretive research philosophy. Realism research philosophy is based on the assumptions, which states that to understand the subjective nature of human beings.
