My research question for the final paper will be based on my first paper I’d like to focus on “Ways of Seeing” theme and specifically I’m interested in what ways, do photographers use pictures to tell stories about the struggle for the civil rights movement and how it is used today? Also doing research on police brutality and how people of color are treated in society even though we live in a democratic country. I would love to do more research on how people’s voices are suppressed, not only in America but in other places such as other countries.
Research Strategies
When it comes to writing a research paper you should be able to follow some steps that are part of the writing process. The process includes finding the right resources to search information, being able to research with keywords rather than an entire sentence. When looking for resources where to do our research we should focus on what research paper we are working on and what’s the thesis statement. It might be that we need resources only from books or scientific ones, that means we should probably research mainly in libraries. But if we need to do a research paper about a thesis statement that includes information we could find in newspapers or magazines, then we can research on Google search engine. When it comes on the information we put on the search engines or databases, its always better to use keywords or phrases rather than an entire sentence. When doing my research paper, this were the methods that i found more useful on doing my research. I used phrases and searched on Google as well as the college library database.

The most efficient research strategy begins with an evaluation of what you have in your possession. You should be able to know where you going and what you looking for. A research should contain some external informations to support your writing to make it more understandable. In this manner, we can use many external ressources during your research paper, at known ( newspapers, web platforms, books, and others reliable information sources ). However, we should be mindful that our research must rightly fit in our ideas driven and that it supports it as needed while avoiding off topic.

A Research Strategy is a bit-by-bit game plan that coordinates your contemplations and endeavors, empowering you to lead research deliberately and on time to create quality outcomes and complete reporting. It allows one to stay focused, reduce frustration, enhance quality, and, most importantly, save time and resources. The most valuable method and idea I get from reading are to be clear and concise on words. Work on the transition of the paragraph. Take help from the writing center and evaluate every section properly.

The first step ,in order to develop a research strategy, is by creating a plan and gathering all the information we need. Good research starts with a focus in a topic. For my research paper, I’ve been in a library and ask a librarian to help me with the website of library and how I would be able to find sources through it. He recommended that I needed to start with Academic Search Complete, which I did ,and through EBSCO host I found one source, while the other one ,I found it through a non profit website which helped me to find more information and details about my paper.

The most effective research strategy starts with preparation and organization. Articulating a chosen topic and being able to make a list of essential keywords and concepts is very important. We can utilize several resources that are proven effective in research methodology. There are web engines, newspapers, scholarly journals, and books available to us – the only thing that matters is how we use these resources meticulously. Once we have gathered all our material, it is also essential to evaluate and identify if they are from reliable sources. Then if we deem that we lack the proper information that we were looking for, maybe we need to analyze and seek consultation from a professional to see how we can improve. Lastly, we need to be picky and remember that research is an iterative process. We may need to do this multiple times until we find what we are searching for.

Krukowski writes at the beginning of the episode, “The marginal-the rejected-the repressed-is whatever the powerful decide is not useful at the minute”. It appears that he is trying to imply that those in authority are the ones deciding what is useful at the minute. First it was CDs and the record players and now it’s online streaming flatforms and social media. The music industry and musicians have benefited greatly from incorporating technology with music, as technology is constantly evolving.
Music indicates the differences between the powerful and the marginalized as the powerful have the resources to decide how and where music should be released. Nowadays everything is based on trends and to keep up with this they must stay up to date or they could go out of trend. I believe the difference between the marginalized and the powerful is mainly about resources. People who want to continue to sell CDs and records can now only sell to a small niche because most of the people are now adapting to newer technology and they do not have CD players or record players, which makes them the marginalized. They cannot control how music is shared.
Krukowski talks about how Spotify suggested songs that matched the type/album he likes, which he had never heard before. This was a surprise to him as to how a suggested album had all the songs to his liking. He says ” It’s not surprising, surprise is not the same as discover for a huge digital corporation eager to engage every one of us and as much of our time as possible with their product”.

I’m following some strategies to write my final research paper. I picked up the research topic which I feel is more curious and comfortable. Some methods and ideas from the readings were very helpful for me. First of all, I define my goals and objectives. I tried to come up with a good research question for the research paper. I tried to be organized then tried to identify the information I needed. Key words, key points and good concepts are very important. I tried my best to find some quality full sources. I got some useful help from some books and articles which I got access to from LaGuardia Community College Library. After all, I reviewed my paper.

My research paper would be based on my paper 1 “ways of seeing “ on the poster representing Rosa parks storyline. I’m going to rewrite my paper 1 and accentuate more on What made photographers used their art to instruct people. Since then how effective this has been in the artistic middle. What were the difficulties faced?

I will use my second paper “money and music” to develop the third paper, and my research question is “How do you think the digitalization of music has affected the music industry? Is it better or worse than in the past and how does capitalism impact the music industry??” I came up with this question as Krukowski mentions how free sharing of the music restricted artists to make a living which contradicts recent events, where artists earn massive profits by sharing their music on streaming platforms.
