hey people!
i know you're all releved its over for the 2005 year. but for me it's just all starting!
how scarey!
i was just wondering if i could get your opinion,
which do you think is a better IRP idea.
a)How does the media sell sex and how does it influence teenagers today?
OR
b)How does the media affect teenaged girls perception of body image?
please if you could help me out it would be much appreciated.
thanks, jess

hey

i'd go with (B) but I think you should refine it a bit more, or take a different angle because its a bit over done. The more refined the research question is, the easier your research will be because otherwise you will be overwhelmed with information - e.g. change it from How does the media affect teenage girls perception of body image? to How do the media, specifically television programs, affect perception of body image for 15 - 17 year olds? or something.. Woops that wasnt very good but you get the idea.

Also, make sure you read the IRP Topics and Tips thread by Cro_angel. There is quite a good suggestion there (How does the media impact on teenage girls' socioemotional wellbeing?).. so just make sure you have your question perfect before you start, it will make it much easier in the long run.
