Hello there !
I haven't written in a while so I thought I'd better get on to doing that. NOt too much has gone on in the past week. In my last post i had mentioned my topic of women in the media. As of right now my research has consisted of mainly researching mass media. I have found some great background information through Acidemic Search Premier.
The other day we spent the hour going through everyones topics which was really interesting to see where people are headed with there papers. Yesterday we talked about probably the best topic ever. A girl had chosen the topic of Sex, more specifically sex toys. The discussion lasted at least 30 minutes and the possiblities of where the paper could go were endless. Dr. Lorde had so many and it was one of the best discussions in an english class I have ever been witness to. After hearing this topic was so jealous that i didn't think of something so great. I hope to read that paper and see what direction it was taken in. As for my specific direction I am still a bit shakey, but i have some concrete research done so I am not that far behind. Dr. Lorde brought up a good point of how the media plays on our fears to get us to buy products. After she said this it really made me think. I knew she was exactly right and wondered how i could turn that into a research question. I think I will check the PsycINFO database to see what kind of information I can come up with to help lead me to a research question.

Update ya later !
bye !
