Observation #4

The fight against breast cancer campaign is my research topic. For my research paper, I will primarily focus on the argument of the campaign, and how the campaign has opportunities for people to get involved and fight for the cure. The breast cancer campaign makes people aware of breast cancer by educating the public through the media, selling merchandise, and hosting fundraising events, such as "Race for the Cure". Through advertisements, they let people know about the severity of the issue and the preventative measures one can take against breast cancer. 
There are several sources I plan to use for this research paper. I plan to use campaign commercials broadcasted on television and. advertisements published in newspapers and magazines. I also intend to use press releases and information found on the national breast cancer website and the Susan G. Komen website. I might also use articles on breast cancer found in online databases or journals that correlate to the fight against breast cancer campaign. 
There are several obstacles that I may encounter while researching the fight against breast cancer campaign. I may not be able to find the commercials broadcasted on television on the internet in order to site the source. I also might be difficult to find examples of advertisements magazines and newspapers in an online form to incorporate into my research paper. It may be difficult to choose from the plethora of advertisements about the fight against breast cancer to incorporate into my paper.

  1. The topic chosen was very clear and specific on what is being researched/analyzed. The topic is about the campaigns used for breast cancer, and the opportunities it gives people to be involved and fight for a cure. The advertisements give awareness to the audience about the severity of the topic.
    There are many sources listed that will be used that will be very helpful in the paper. They all seem to be legit sources, and will give factual information to help the argument being brought up.
    Another obstacle that may be faced is the fact that some websites may have statistics/facts that are skewed in a way that it gives results that that particular website is wanting to promote to help their perspective.
