The question itself insists that students make bad-decions. Do students make bad-decisions? Does present-day media affect students? While attempting to revise, these are some of the questions I asked myself. Also, what is media? Well I would like to say that media is broad. From Facebook to the news and media to sports and music, general TV and movies. Maybe by saying "How does.." or "How can.." How can would seem to be a list. How does would seem to be a attempt to find an answer. Is this whole thing an attempt to find an answer to my inquiry question? This is were I am struggling... When in this 'process of elimination' I keep coming back to the starter of my question. The rest of the question seems to be almost simple enough to re-word.
Instead of affect, maybe I could use... "The effect of media on present-day students." But that would be too listy...
I suppose that my actual question at hand is not the NAME for my research paper.. just a question to base it off of. Instead of affect, maybe I could use 'impact', or 'bear upon'.
"How does media impact present-day students?"
Now when i write it like that, media seems like a bad word to use..
Speaking the lower frequencies: students and media literacy
By Walter R. JacobsA book that i found on some of the implications of media in society.. I read parts of the book, since it is a long book and I am just on the starting-line of this project, and can summarize it as a book the shows how students can be critical consumers of media while retaining the pleasure they derive from it.
I can use this book to help produce ideas of new places to research, where to find them, what terms to search for, and how to search for them. I believe this book is a great starting place for my research project.
Hi, DJ. This is difficult, because there is so much to think about. Perhaps you could isolate specific media, like particular TV shows or news or even reality TV? That way, you'd have a focus, and you'd be able to find more things.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could think about something like this:
What is the relationship between reality TV and college students' attitudes towards partying?
Perhaps that would be more specific? I'm not saying you have to use partying, or reality TV, but it's a framework to get you started.
