5S's OF 'CONSCIOUSNESS' CONCEPT THROUGH CONTENT ANALYSIS TO MAKE A SENSE OF IT

"Content analysis is a research method used to systematically analyze text, images, or other forms of communication to identify patterns, themes, and meanings. It involves quantifying qualitative information, often by categorizing and counting the frequency of specific words, phrases, or concepts within the data. This allows researchers to draw inferences and make conclusions about the content being analyzed, its context, and its potential impact," informs an AI Overview [1] adding that the method follows a structured and replicable process, ensuring consistency and reliability in the analysis [1].

One of the technique is to analyse repetition of the same letter words and phrases consists of reading the text to identify them, shortlist them by relating then to the topic or the concept, and create rephrased statements beginning with the same letter words.
