For my research topic i will be researching the influence of votes that politicians receive due to the use of media such as social networking and other uses of media.
What i hope to show is the way technology has now been utilized now for more reasons than just entertainment. Being that technology is now a powerhouse in the midst of the nation and majority of the world, it would be plausible for politicainas to get their word across and ultimately gain the eyes and votes of the people.
With this topic being researched; i will need to gain research pertaining to this topic. I will first need to gain surveys from different students about the previous election between mitt romney and nBarack Obama and how many of them supported their politicians technologically. What i will also need is statistics and records concerning politicians who have used the web and other technologies to help gather votes (ex.Tweets and FB posts). I will need to find statistics concerning the rise of tweet views by the voters and the rise in tweets during the election times.
Who i will mainly focus on and research will be students or people who use social networking and internet media alot to get updates or to learn more about a topic-in this case political matters. How i will get these will be by interviewing and doing mass surveys between students and people to prove how often people use technology to get answers or to learn about something. Where i will mainly do interviews will be at Kean University and keep my research contained for easy processing and forming into a paper. For the age group, i shall survey people between the ages of 18-22. If i had to choose a major i would survey more of the technology majors and also polotical science majors. The specific amount of people i will need is a number that cannot be balance so i would go with about seven people to eleviate the workload on me.. Like i said, i need to keep it contained and easy to process and further my research.
Being as how technology today can be declared discourse analysis and also a common lexis between a mass group of people, discourse will be the main topic in my research. Another method will be personal interviews and also mass surveys to gain information to build my paper. It will be a strenuous task, but with all the right information i will be able to create a good paper with good information.
