Peer 1

The social science issue that I have selected to research is Media & Technology. I will specifically be focusing on the affects
of media on our mental health. I will be researching if the development
of media has caused a negative impact to our mental health. I am
interested in this because as many others, I grew up in a world where
media and technology was advancing at an
extreme pace. I am very curious to see what the effects of this was on
those in my age group. I believe that the best audience for this
research would be young adults.
I believe I can tailor my
message to an audience of young adults by discussing aspects of media
that they can relate to. Some of these would include social media sites
such as Twitter and Instagram, the video game industry, and of course
popular television and film. By discussing these different forms of
media and technology I think I will be able to help my audience
understand what my message is in my presentation. I will want to make
sure I don’t use scientific terminology because a large majority of my
audience will not understand what I am saying. By relating to them with
topics they understand, I can explain my research with terms and
examples that they can understand.
