Presentation for Content of Paper on Impact of the Media on the Improvement of Saudi Women
As a potential writer for this paper, one would follow the instructions on the outline, with emphasis on certain points. For the problem statement, what would be discussed is whether or not there have been issues brought about by media on Saudi women and their status in society today, or whether the media has brought about total improvement on the quality of life of these women – this could be measured in terms of increases in the number of Saudi women receiving tertiary education, the number of women in the workforce, or simply an improvement in the status of women in society.
The research question would focus on the issue of improvement based on the dimensions mentioned above. As for the methodology, it is suggested that there should be both primary and secondary methods to be used. The primary data gathering for the methodology could be in the form of a survey that would be asked of Saudi women, or through the use of a focus group discussion session wherein the responses of the women would be taken. The secondary data gathering could be taken from the various information sources -newspapers, books, journals, etc. An analysis would then follow, as one would be able to decide whether or not the results of the primary data gathering are consistent with the existing secondary sources. Some of the sources in the literature review will already serve as the secondary sources for this study.
The suggested 25 sources for the paper is a good-sized number of sources for this paper. It is only hoped that the client can provide some scholarly sources such as journals if there are sources in his or her possession already. The writer will be in constant communication with the client throughout the preparation of the paper.
