Hi, I just started year 12 and I'm doing Society and Culture. My proposal is due this week, can someone please check my proposal, all feed is welcome I have attached it bellow. Have a lovely evening.
I'm just going to make some points as I read through your PIP proposal:
- Title could probably be shortened down to 'My Australia is our Australia', but overall I like the tone and its introduction to your PIP's idea
- Like how you amalgamated your own personal experiences and Garvey's research in your mini intro
- I can see that your PIP is heavily influenced by your background, but keep in mind to keep an unbiased opinion on the matter to demonstrate full social and cultural literacy (This is a matter of my first impression from reading the 'Outline your general...' paragraph. My opinion may change the more I read your proposal)
- I feel like the question is a bit/too specific, unless that is what you are going for. How will you categorise each chapter? What will each chapter talk about? (Again this is just my first impression. Opinion may change as soon as I read more). Your question has to be flexible enough to have a 5000 research paper, but not too broad that you are just viewing society from its first layer.
- What's your hypothesis? This is really crucial as you will have an idea what direction you want your PIP to head in.
- Other concepts you may want to mention: society, power, authority (?), identity
- I like what you have planned for your cross cultural comparison!
- I see that you have mentioned what you will be talking about in each chapter, so disregard my previous comment.
- Other primary research methodologies you can possibly use: content analysis (analyse the media), personal reflection (already evident, but use your own personal opinions as a starter rather than using it to prove your case. if you just use personal reflection on its own, without any secondary research, it'll just become biased and you will lose marks), case study (again the media would be good for this!)
- Do you have a log book where you've been logging your progress?
- Will you be using a social theory somewhere in your PIP?
If you need anymore help, you can check out this
guide for more tips for your PIP or come back to this question thread.
Good luck!
