Re: Plz help me.. The advantages of cartoons on children

Anonymous — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 18:54:27 GMT

My chosen topic for investigation was 'Children and Television'. Within this topic I decided to focus on whether children of the ages 7 - 8 understand the differences between reality and fiction in television programmes.

To enable me to do my investigation I used a combination of both primary secondary research methods. Primary research allowed me to develop my role as a researcher to gain my own findings and secondary research method allowed me to compare or contrast my findings to previous studies undertaken.

One example of a secondary research method I used to investigate the relationship between children and television was using search engines on the Internet.The search engine I used was www.yahoo.com. Initially I types in 'children + Television' however, this gave me websites on children's television channels such as www.cbbc.co.uk. I therefore decided to refine my search as I needed sociological studies undertaken into children's perceptions of reality and fiction on television. I therefore refined my search to 'Children + Television + Reality'. This proved more successful supplying me with a useful article www.childrennow.org/television/talk-news/htm. This article gave parental advice on what age children are able to watch the news without it deeply upsetting them, due to the reality of events it features. A strength of this article is it is created by an organisation, however it does have a psychological perspective, which over emphasises that television radically effects children.

Another useful site was www.stevwib.zen.co.uk. This had the advantage of being created by a media teacher therefore its contents has been checked to make sure it was relevant to the topic. One useful article found on this site was www.aber.ac.uk/media/documents/short/realrev.html. This gave a summary of previous studies undertaken to find out children's perceptions of reality and fiction on television. However, as all articles do, it was biased towards a particular perspective.

All in all, the Internet is a huge medium, therefore to gain relevant information searches need to be refined. Also, no text is unbiased, therefore the bias in articles and websites need to be considered.

Another secondary research method I used was books. One was David Buckingham Moving Images: Understanding Children's Emotional Responses to Television Manchester University Press (1996). In one chapter this explained his study undertaken with children from a variety of age groups, asking about their perceptions on the reality and fiction of three television programmes; Casualty, Ghostwatch and Crimewatch. Another book I used was Bob Hodge and Daivd Tripp Children and Television Polity Press (1987). One chapter focussed on a study they undertook in interviewing children of 5 - 12 on their perceptions of the reality of certain television characters. In evaluation a strength of using these books was that I could look at previous studies that had been undertaken looking at the methods they used and the age groups they focussed on. Another advantage was I was able to compare and contrast previous studies to my findings. Although, both books were biased towards a certain perspective, and also they had quite complex concepts to understand as in 'modality' and 'perceived reality'.

For my primary research I e-mailed children's channels CBBC and CITV, asking for a professional opinion on what programmes they thought children would perceive to be fictional or reality based. However, I had no reply, in a way this turned into a positive, because I realised my approach through e-mailing was not direct and personal enough. If I had have got a response it would have been advantageous because I would have information direct from a media institution.

For my primary research I piloted an interview with a neighbour of a similar age to the children in my final sample. I created a semi- structured interview and scheduel, and pre-defined questions on specific television programmes, for example "Do you think Grange Hill is a real school?" However, the child only watched one programme that my pre-defined questions related to, so allowed no comparison of reality and fiction. However, this was beneficial because it taught me not to be too specific with my pre-defined questions, instead to let the respondents lead the direction of the interview.

For my primary research I phoned my ex primary school to arrange a time to interview a group of 7 - 8 year old children on their perceptions of reality and fiction in television programmes. The direct approach was more successful than e-mailing as I got a direct reply. I interviewed a group of eight children; four boys and four girls. I felt a mixture of genders would be best, because perceptions of reality and fiction could differ between the genders therefore this gave me a more representative sample more true to life. I used children of the ages of seven and eight, it would have been interesting to interview children from a different age groups, however, having only one child's perception from each age group would be unrepresentative to make generalisations from and a representative study would have needed a larger sample size.

In reflection of my pilot study I used an unstructured interview with open ended questions, for example. 'Do you watch television?' and let the interview develop from there. This had the advantage of having the flexibility to explore different ideas and emotions expressed by the children, thus not limiting the children to my specific pre-defined questions (as I did in the pilot). I used a tape recorder to record the interview, because it would have been highly inaccurate to depend on me remembering each point raised, so could have lead to a study with little validity. I decided to talk to the children informally to begin with not on the specific topic of television, to relate them and to get around the observer paradox. In reflection I feel I built up a better rapport with the females sa they payed a more active role in the interview. This could have been because myself being a female, unintentionally directed the questions at the females causing interview bias.

All in all, I used a range of primary and secondary research methods, both of which had advantages and disadvantages as any methods do.

This is a good answer covering a range of methods, accurately detailing sites and books used, summarising their key points and carefully relating them to one another. Evaluative, reflective, clear.

With detailed reference to your research findings, analyse and discuss the relationship between children and television

Re: Should I mention example production in my motivation letter?

Here goes my letter of motivation. I will appreciate any suggestions and comments to improve it. Thanks in advance!

Some notes:

COUNTRY_NAME = my resident country

XYZ = employer's name

*************************************************

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to apply for a position of Project Manager / Multimedia Developer (reference no. 00000) as advertised on XYZâs on-line vacancy bulletin.

I first became interested in multimedia development and web-based applications twelve years ago. Since 2001, I am working as a project manager and developer in a leading internet agency in my country. As of March 2004, I am in charge for communication, management and execution of all online activities of ABC_CORPORATION in COUNTRY_NAME. The list of my responsibilities includes communication with the HQ office and local companies, website design, content development and update, adaptation of various online/ offline campaigns and presentations, research and invention of new channels for communication with target audience. During my practice I have developed a vast range of skills, for example: analysing complex numerical and verbal information, clear, concise writing for different contexts, working enthusiastically and productively under pressure, dealing professionally with a wide range of people, working in a variety of teams and on my own initiative, overcoming obstacles. I am comfortable in sourcing and handling data electronically. Making movies like the Flash presentation I've attached as a sample of my work is such an enjoyable experience, because I know how to turn content requirements into a multimedia concept by selecting the most appropriate choice of multimedia. I have a knack of the latest technologies which help me to evaluate rapidly project essentials, determine terms and deadlines, execute in full the project.

As you can see on my CV I lead a busy life through my daily responsibilities and various business activities, which has meant that I have very quickly learnt the importance of time management. I have always handed my work in on time and never missed a deadline. My communication skills have greatly developed through my work experience with ABC_CORPORATION and its markets in Central and Eastern Europe.

For the period of my management and fulfillment of the ABC_CORPORATION on-line activities, the ABC_CORPORATION recognizes COUNTRY_NAME as the fastest growing market in terms of Internet presence. My dedication to work and pursuit for perfection convinced ABC_CORPORATION to choose COUNTRY_NAME as a pilot market for several web-based projects and desktop applications. As of 2007 I am the person responsible for terms negotiation, concept development, execution and language adaptation of ABC_CORPORATION websites in COUNTRY_1, COUNTRY_2, COUNTRY_3, and COUNTRY_4.

XYZ position as a leading organization attracts me and I feel XYZ offers the opportunity to work with the type of people and projects that I am seeking. I feel I perform to a high standard and have a range of relevant skills that I can bring to XYZ.

I would be very keen to find out more about XYZ aims and would welcome the opportunity to discuss my application further at an interview. I hope you will consider my application favourably and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME

Re: Challenges Involved in the Dentistry Field - page1 - proof read

Is this ok? i didnt quite get the transition part....could you help me there please. Thanks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There used to be a time when medical professionals may it be doctors, general practitioners, or surgeons were considered a God for their knowledge and trusting position within a society. With the increase in liability claims, lawsuits and other issues this thought or notion has been erased from the minds of many people. In this research paper we will be looking at the two major challenges involved in the field of Dentistry and how to lower these challenges.

What is Ethics? In terms of medicine ethics is the study of moral values as they apply to medicine and according to Jay Healey Technique: Teaching Law and Ethics to Medical and Dental Students only eight percent out of the 108 medical schools in the United States teach law and ethics as a required course while fifty six percent report that health law is taught as part of an existing, required course and the rest offer medical ethics as a separate required course.

METHODOLOGY

Firstly I conducted an interview with Dr. Jack Daniels*, a local dentist. The interview was conducted in order to create a structure for the research as to what would be the most common issues encountered within the dentistry field. To view a sample of the questionnaire, for the interview, please refer to the appendix. With the help of the interview I was able to narrow down to two major challenges within the dentistry field. I did further research to find information from various databases and organizational websites to see if the major challenges were common with other dentists too. I also managed to find statistical information regarding trends in liability claims. Lastly I focused on the two most important issues in the field and provided recommendations on how to improve.
