Which identity group in society is most affected by this social problem?
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 1 and 2 of the course textbook.
This discussion will help you think about the varied research approaches and how they can be applied based on certain world views or the nature of the groups you wish to research. By choosing the best approach from the start, researchers are much more likely to get the best results to answer research questions. In your initial post, address the following:
- Select a research topic that interests you and also is an important social problem. Then, use the four combinations of worldviews, designs, and research methods in Figure 1.1 of Chapter 1 of the course text to discuss a project involving your selected research topic that brings together worldview, designs, and methods. Identify whether this would involve quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods research.
- Using the research project you have described above, state the essence of this study in one sentence and then write your research title. By doing this, you focus on the key elements of the study.
- Explain the key elements of your proposed study: What is the social problem? Which identity group in society is most affected by this social problem? Is there a particular place or other unique aspects which is important to note about your study?
- Next, list three keywords related to your topic and use these keywords to do a database search for journal articles on the topic in the University of Arizona Global Campus Library. Indicate the three keywords in your post and list an example of a journal article found for each keyword. (Note: Each journal article found must be listed in APA format.) Indicate if you needed to adjust your keywords in order to locate appropriate journal articles for your study, and explain that process.
Your initial post should be at least 550 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
Are there any non-financial costs to shopping online? To off-line shopping?
Discussion 7.2
One of the easiest places to see the impact of the Internet on marketing is by looking at its effect on pricing decisions and consumer’s perceptions of prices. Since its inception, the World Wide Web (WWW) has developed the reputation as being the place to shop to get the lowest prices.
- Why has this reputation developed?
- Why might it be possible to charge lower prices online?
- Are products really cheaper?
To answer this last question, choose two products and find them for sale online (books, CD’s, and software work very well). Calculate the total price that would be charged to your credit card, then go to a “brick and mortar” retailer and find prices for the same product there. Make your comparisons.
- Where is the cheapest place to buy the products that you have selected?
- What costs go into determining which place you buy your product?
- Are there any non-financial costs to shopping online? To off-line shopping?
