?Background information/Research Area
When I first started to think about the research topic to investigate I was intrigued by the idea of researching in the field of technology. I have always like the idea of where technology could take us. Then I started to think of something that has been around for about 40 years, video games. If I had difficulty finding a research topic for video games I was going to have a look at researching censorship in Australia. That was a last resort however because it would be a very hard topic to cover due to the different forms of censorship and it can be very opinionated. If I was to go down that path I would have looked into censorship of movies and games and the Australian classification board.

Since I had already played the game I asked the parents if they were aware of the content in the game and they responded with no, in short the parents were quite shocked of what I describe to them about what was in the game. I also thought that even if parents did care about what their kids were watching and playing (in this case more playing) what if the kids have other means of getting the games that they want.

Refinement of Topic
Deciding what area to study for my research project was rather easy. Technology is one of my favourite areas of research. Because technology is a massive area to cover I started to think about what branch of technology I could study. Luckily for me I turned on the television one day and the news channel flicked on and just happened to be talking about online gaming because a sports event an ?esport?. This instantly flicked a switch from me, leading me to entertainment and video games. Whilst running through different ideas a few stood out to me, that being ?Why do we play video games?? and ?How do video games affect people psychologically?? Both of these questions seemed to have very similar problems. They always ended up with either a bias option either against or towards the idea or there
"Pediatrics for Parents"; the effects of video games on children: what parents need to know?
My topic of research will be on bullying and what affects it has on a person being bullied. To start out, bullying is justified as using supreme strength or influence to intimidate someone, usually to have another person do what you want them to do (Wikipedia, 2016).
When I discovered that my English class had to do a Research Paper, I became horrified. I thought students only did this when they were finishing graduate school not when they were starting their first year in college. All I knew about research papers was that there is an overwhelming amount of research to do. In my efforts to complete this obstacle and not bore myself to sleep with researching, I wanted to do an interesting topic, but I had no idea where to begin. I spent hours going through a great number of subjects and people, but once I found topic remotely interesting, I could not find much information on the Library of Congress website. Therefore, I decided to choose one word that would hopefully lead me to an interesting topic. I
Rules revolving around Canadian Content (CanCon) have been set in place since the 1920’s. In 2005, revisions to the 1991 Broadcasting Act were made. Since this revision was made there have been further changes to the Act trying to create the best set of rules for CanCon to be broadcasted (Dewing, 2011). CanCon is an outdated concept that is causing consumers to switch to other forms of media. The CanCon rules cannot determine what is considered Canadian and they cannot keep up with the ever-changing forms of media. Canadian producers are only getting a slim portion of the industry even with the rules in place. Therefore CanCon rules should be totally eliminated.
I think parents must give some advices or pay attentions when their children play the games. Also parents really need conversation with children about how violence media is dangerous to them. If I am his mother, I wasn't buying those kinds of violence games. These two reasons why that I focus on how violence media, especially death portrayed effects on children.
Ever wondered why parents keep blaming games for every disaster among the young culture? Whether it is poor vision or bad grades in school, games have always been the valid excuse among conventional adults. However, is it truly a valid one or parents are just not recognizing any of the gaming benefits since it is invading their “convention?”
I wasn't sure what do my research on. I was first interested in military history and I wanted to do Ulysses S. Grant or Robert E. Lee. I asked my cousin who would be easier to do my research on, Ulysses S. Grant or Robert E. Lee. She said I should do it on the Renaissance because she took European history in high school and she knows a lot about it. I started research at school when my teacher came up to me and asked what I’m doing. I told him about the Renaissance and he responded by saying the Renaissance is a big category and I should choose something specific from that time period. Finally, I decided to research on the Leonardo Da Vinci because I had some background knowledge on him and my cousin could help me.
The topic chosen for research will indicate the method to be used e.g. voting would involve the
What is your possible topic? Brainstorm five questions about it. In this section pick a topic from the above list and then brainstorm five questions you have about it. If you feel disconnected from the topics on the list, choose one of your own, but make sure it is not an “overused topic,” such as abortion, gun control, capital punishment, or legalization of marijuana (unless you have personal experience with the topic and can offer a unique perspective). Also, beware of current issues that might not be well-researched yet; you may not find enough sources at this time. Your purpose for brainstorming five questions is to narrow the topic to a manageable scope. Who knows, one of the questions may eventually become your research
What would life be like without censorship? Though there might be upsides to it, such as more freedom of speech, it could also cause some problems. Not only would we be exposing children to many horrors of the world, we also would be doing nothing to prevent offensive and oppressive content in the media. Therefore, some censorship is necessary for all people; however, in most cases, we should be allowed access to most information in society.
I conducted my research by first thinking of what I wanted my topic to be on. I didn’t want it to be a topic that is common because I want my project to be something unique, not something
A research topic is defined as a concept or broad issue that is important. For example, in nursing research a topic can be acute or chronic pain management, coping with illness, or health promotion. Within each research topic, there is a potential for numerous research problems that in return can result is different research studies. Usually, research problems guide the type of research methodology the study will have.
The control of what people may say, hear write read see and/or do, is the definition or censorship. There is censorship in movies, books, music, speeches, and much more. A lot of people agree that we should keep certain censorships. Other people believe we should get rid of certain censorship. There is more to learn about censorship and the different views on it.
Activision as a video game producing company has a great wealth of resources and knowledge for Wise Web Kids to use in making its video games. This way the kids will be more likely to play the games since they will have been made by a major video game publisher instead of an internet safety organization. The goal of getting kids to pay attention to lessons about fraud, bullying, and even sexting is achieved with Activision’s help as a game developing company and all of its branches that work on game design.
Most parents, when buying games for their children, either do not know what games they are buying or if they do know they do not know the content that is on that game. The games that children want are mostly violent games because those types of games seem to be the ones that are the most appealing to them.
