MODEL, SNOWBALL EFFECT and WATERFALL DIAGRAM

model: model is a term in economics which shows economic processes by a set of variables and a set of logical and quantitative relationships between them. Model has different definitions in other fields but for explaining snowball effect and waterfall diagram it should be used economic term.

snowball effect: is a figurative term explaining an event which can be seen in every aspect of life. A small amount of snow begin to become larger with building itself and after some time, it has a giant dimensions which can not be neglected.

waterfall diagram: is a process whics aims to solve a problem with an appropriate way. It firstly bein with specifiying problem and terms of problem. And then it continue with gaining main components, requirements and main assembly, varfications of these systems. Finally it finishes with controlling validate of system.

THEORY, HYPOTHESİS AND PARADİGM

Theory: Theory is sum of scientific rules which is arranged and explain some events in nature. Theory can not be obtained without scientific observations, experimentations and determined conditions. theories are not hyptosesis or assumptions which are not accepted widely in scientific environment, they explain natural evnts with many obaservations and some basic principles.

Hypothesis: Hypothesis is a scientific temporary idea which needs to development and evolution. If the owner of a hypothesis try on the hypothesis to prove or disprove, it can be a part of a theory when the hypothesis explain the phenomenon correctly. The hypothesis is not a theory and remains as an unproven study since the hypothesis shows phenomenon with true observations and investigations.

paradigm: means pattern in any scientific discipline or other epistemological context. In a scientifc text, paradigm is what is to be observed, the kind of questions that are supposed to be asked and how these questions are structured

METHOD AND METHODOLOGY

According to ancient Greeks, it means that the way of pursuing information, own form of learning needs, questions. Furthermore, the dictionary mean is applying different ways in a process of a task to complete it. A type of method which is related to engineering is scientific method. The main techniques to research phenomena, obtain new information, edit and accomplish older information is said scientific method. İt can run with concrete evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning. a scientific method forwards with cocrete and scientific observations and experimentations.

Methodology:the systematic study of methods that are, can be, or have been applied within a discipline is the dictionary definition. Methodology consist of some concepts because of relating to a discipline:
*sum of therories, concepts or ideas
*comparative study of different approaches
*review of individual methods

Methodology does not only mean a collection of methods, it refer to logical basis assumptions to entrench particular study. In addition, it should not be confused with researching, or specific analysis techniques.
