Groups and proposal

In my group I am working Nkechi, Tiara, and Shahna.

Nkechi’s ideas

·         Youth parliament – looking at getting young people in parliament

·         Reliance on technology – exploring how good or bad it is to be reliant on technology

·         London riots – youths view and opinion on the riots (august 2011)

Tiara’s ideas

·         Does TV raise our children – is the TV raising our children instead of parents

·         Food – difference between organic and normal produce

·         Smoking – looking at the dangers of teenagers smoking

My ideas

·         Beauty – what makes us pretty? Skin tone, teeth, eyes, lips. Exploring patterns in beauty

·         Food – is food that is advertised as healthy really that healthy

·         Education – are the demands for young adults too high

Shahna’s ideas

·         Music – influence certain types of music have on people’s behaviour

·         News – good news and bad news (e.g. phone hacking) is certain type of news ignored

·         Media and religion

Personally the three ideas I like the most are:

1.       My beauty idea

2.       Reliance on technology – linking this in with tiara’s TV raising our kids idea

3.       London riots

As a group the three ideas we like the most are:

1.       Exploring a food related idea and combing my idea and Tiara’s idea

2.       Reliance on technology – linking this in with tiara’s TV raising our kids idea

3.       Does music videos condition what we see as beautiful *combination of mine and Shahna’s ideas

The reason why we are dropping the rest of the ideas are because I feel some would not lead in the right way, some are more dependant archival footage. Collecting peoples opinion would be hard e.g. news, finally in a society becoming secular will anyone pay attention to things about religion.

To be successful this year we will need to work to the best of our ability, have a good dialogue with miss and keep on time to all deadlines.
