Current Research Project: Week 4

What is your research issue?

            My research issue is going to address the Youtube entertainment industry. I want to explore the future of Youtube and how it is a new 21st centenary career path people can go to and how it can benefit and affect upcoming generations.

What is your current research question?

            How is the Youtube Industry affecting the future of the entertainment business?

What do you believe are going to be some of the challenges of completing this research project for your class and why?

            I think one of the biggest challenges I face when doing this research project is being able to find enough scholarly sources that will support my issue. Not many people write on Youtube the way I want to address and it has been a challenge trying to be able to find some articles that relate to my issue in some way.

What do you believe are going to be some of your strengths as you approach this research project and why are they strengths?

            Some of my strengths that I will have when doing this research project will be the fact I took English 102 before so I know what to expect and what to look for. Plus I know what makes a good paper this time around. Another strength I have is that I am very passionate about my research topic so it will make the process of writing this paper a lot easier. I've always been into the Youtube industry and how it works, so this paper is not only for class but for my benefit as well.

What questions or concerns do you have for our class that you would like to address during conferences?

            A concern that I have is that I have been struggling trying to find some sources that will help and trying to get a good research question (I'm still in the air about it), would it be possible to meet during conference hours and try to brainstorm or get some extra help with whether I should use a certain source or not?
