My Research Topic
My research question is about how the media influences women struggling with anorexia. So far while doing research I have found a lot of vidoe clips about this but not a lot about this subject from databases. I have found two books that i feel will be really helpful during this research project. They talk a lot about body image and what affects this has on women. I have found a lot of journals about body image and i have found that media influences this a lot, therefore young women feel the need to fit this profile. I think i still need to find a good bit more of information. The past few classes have really helped me in finding journal articles that fit my research question. A lot of them are facts and figures, but I would like to find more interviews with victims of this disease. If possible, I would also like to find some statistics about what influences women with this disease and how they feel about the role that the media plays. So far i have not had to narrow or broaden my research topic. I have been extremely fourtunate to find many good sources and articles on my research topic.

It looks as if you have a good start on your research question so far. You seem to have a good idea about the direction you would like to head. Maybe for more information you could also consider the media's point of veiw on the disease. Another question to consider while finding information could be, how does the media convince women that this is the way they need to look?
