DECISION has BEEN made! :-]

After a long hard think with some guidence i come up with my hypothesis to base my research on!

Hypothesis

On the pitch exploring the effect of racism in football

. effect it has on the players.
. performances of the players.
. Safety on behalf of the players, fans and officals.

(These are just some points i would have to cover!)

PoSsIbLe TyPeS Of rEseArCh

I plan to use primary research and secondary research to collect information and data, hopefully this would help me gather the accurate information i need.
Primary research is a method were you conduct your own research, for examples; interviews to get first hand info on what your researching. I can also use other methods besides interviews such as carrying out questionnaires etc.
Secondary research is research that you have looked up that has already been carried out by other people. This would be helpful to me as i would need reliable and factual research in my work.

Other types of research

Ouantitative : A type of resarch, usally based on numbers, statistics or tables, that attempts to measure some kind of phenomenon and produce hard dadt. It often involves working with large groups of people.

Oualitative : Research that attempts to explain or understand something and may neccessitate much discussion and analysis of people's attitudes and other behaviour. It usually involves working with small numbers of people or focus groups.

Possible Hypothesis...

1. How big an impact does the abuse of racism have on football players?

2. Is racism ruining the beautiful game?

3. On the pitch exploring the efect of racism in football.

4. Exploring how the effect of racism is portrayed in the media

5. How is the effect of racism portrayed in the media?



At the moment i am finding it quite hard to come up with a hypothesis, this is becoming very fustrating as the deadline is fast approaching. ;-(
