CHAPTER III METHOD OF RESEARCH
3.1 Research Method
Research method is one of the important things of scientific studies in analyzing the problems. In this thesis, some theories and opinion are applied.
Research method which is used in this research is Library Research, that is by reading and studying some books also research findings concerned with the topic of
the problem. According to Nawawi 1991: 30, the activity of library research is conducted
by collecting the data from some literatures, either in library or in other places. We can also use the documentation materials, magazines, newspaper, and so on,
which are written as Nawawi 1991:30 says, “Penelitian kepustakaan yaitu suatu penelitian yang dilakukan
dengan menghimpun data dari berbagai literatur, baik di perpustakaan maupun di tempat-tempat lain. Literatur yang
dipergunakan tidak terbatas hanya pada buku-buku, tetapi dapat juga berupa bahan-bahan dokumentasi, majalah-majalah, koran-
koran, dll. berupa bahan tertulis. Dari literatur tersebut dapat ditemukan berbagai teori, hukum, dalil, prinsip-prinsip, pendapat,
gagasan-gagasan, dll. yang dapat dipergunakan untuk menganalisa dan memecahkan masalah yang diselidiki
.” Library Research is a research done by collecting data from many kinds of
literature, whether in the library or any other places. Literature used is not only limited on books but also on magazines, newspaper, and
other written documentation. Relevant studies are also used to support the analysis. From that literature, there are theories,
priciples, opinion, ideas, etc. found within it which can be used to analyze and solve problems investigated.
