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.

THE ESSENTIAL INTRODUCTION

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. ;-(

ETO'O BECAME A VICTIM



In the year 2005/06 Samual Eto'o was verbully abused by fans of Real Zaragoza for being black when playing in the spanish leauge for bracalona, he opted to walk off the football pitch due to this.

SPAIN is one of the most noticeable countries in the world at the moment for victimising black players by racially abusing them!

My tOpIc!

After a long and hard think about what topic to research i have decided to do Sports and Media. I will be studying how racsim is in football and how it affects the players everyday lives and performances on the pitch. This is a subject that does not only affect footballers but also everyday people.
