offices department stores perpetrators internal security systems You may decide that “Internal Security Systems to Prevent White-Collar Crime” is a subject you want to investi- gate. 14. Use method of free association to formulate an appropriate subject for research by narrowing the topic “Unemployment”. Some ideas are given as an example. UNEMPLOYMENT economic recession global financial crisis THE FIVE Ws Asking questions to which you want answers is still another way of narrowing a topic to a subject you can work with. You can develop questions in an organized way by adapting the journalistic tradition that good reporting includes covering the five Ws of a story: who, what, where, when, and why. Who – people What – problems, things, ideas Where – places When – past, present, future Why – causes, reasons, results, conditions To use these five Ws as a help in finding a research subject, write your topic at the top of the page and under it each of the five W words as headings across the page. Then use brainstorming or free association with each of the words in a column heading, writing down tour ideas as lists. Example: TELEVISION Who? What? Where? When? Why? show hosts violence satellite transmission commercial beginnings election actors and actresses news remote places new channels to come interference with studies directors religion New York broadcast times persuasive power Johnny Car- son commercials local stations technical development education Most words in the listings above are still too broad. “Television news” still need to be narrowed further. To do so, the same five Ws method can be applied again. “How Television News Manipulates Audiences” or “Some Limitations of Television as a News Source” are possible subjects you can arrive at using this method. |
