The difficulty in understanding the written word is not the
vagueness of the composition, but the elusiveness of the author. A
basic problem in understanding an authors words relates to the
language and culture. When words or thoughts are translated from
one language and a particular culture to another the meaning
changes. These changes often go unnoticed and individuals apply a
current definition to the words. In fact the meaning of words is in
people. This could be the reason English/European students read
authors rather than subjects. Knowing the orientation of the author
and the background, philosophy, and purpose of the composition
increases the understanding of the written document. So rooted in
the earliest awareness of a need for knowledge and the continuing
search by generations of thinkers, the systematic process of
investigation emerge, in spite of the hurdles of vested interests
and lack of support from the general populous. The present concept
of scientific methodology began to form during medieval times and
developed into a full body of concepts and constructs in the modern
age. As humans wrote down their observations, the effort to
understand what was written began. To understand and interpret
different aspects of human existence, various groups of scholars
began to devise different schemes, but all used the basic methods
of inquiry.
