Research is considered to be a systematic investigation and study of materials and sources to establish facts and reach new conclusions. Thus, it plays an important role in shaping people's understanding and perception of the world around them. It is a fundamentally important concept that a lot of people willingly or unwillingly use in their everyday lives, while surfing the internet or conversing with other people to reach a new conclusion. In a lot of cases it can make a significant impact on people's lives and society as a whole.
For example you might be interested to buy a new product and learn about it's price tag. Now of course depending on your situation, needs, economic status, etc you might find the same product cheaper or a similar one that fits your needs. From my point of view research allows to expand your knowledge and grows your awareness and understanding about the different choices you might have. Furthermore, research forces you in one way or another to improve your critical thinking, and perhaps be more authentic because there is a lot of misinformation in this ''sea of information'' we call the internet.
Research gives you the ability to question the things that you know, and to take a deeper look on some of the beliefs you have held for yourself and others. It brings you closer to what works and what holds true. It allows you to explore those horizons that you would never be able to experience, to give you the ''bigger picture''. Research= Innovation/Development if it's used in this way and with that intention. Additionally, it brings you closer to other like-minded people, since it facilitates discussions.
There is of course a darker aspect to research : to use it as a tool for pushing your own drug or product for example despite it having flaws or being unreliable. Researchers might use more ''positive data'' in a statistical way and minimize the negative outcomes by manipulating certain control groups to fit their own outcomes. This might be especially present if a research company or group is backed up with lots of resources and money. It might not even be used at all...just to keep the game going, or by still developing a cure for certain diseases that might be already there, ridiculing or not supporting other approaches and ways that might help. It all depends on the ethics,morality and overall values.
In many cases research forces companies and sellers to be more honest with their customers, and focus on building up loyalty and trust, which are important for long term gains and relationships. It forces approaches, theories, models, to be updated by revisiting and reviewing that old data. Research also revives theories and approaches that might have been dead for decades.
As a concept it is a necessary skill to develop and it's vital to use in today's times. If anything it allows you to quench that thirst about a certain interest you might have that you always wondered about. Of course not all research is true but the method and idea behind it can lead you to it (truth) Important : Do it yourself, don't wait for others.
