3rd assessing the different set of questions:

I think the 2nd set of questions would be easier for me to graphically summarize my results. They have predetermined answers, the data will be linear, and clear to follow using tables or charts. The problem with the 2nd set of questions, it is limited by the predetermined answers people would be given in response to this survey. The 1st set of questions that I made would be difficult to summarize the data in a visual manner, as they are open ended questions. Each individual person taking this survey would have their own answers to each question, giving me a wide range of answers. Giving me a wide range of data to work with, which would make it difficult for me to visually summarize my information. On the plus side, I would get more information from each person that has taken this survey. Doing this in this manner would be time-consuming to look at each individual answer, but there might be a pattern in the data that could help me with my research project. These two sets of questions have their own pros and cons to them, in the long run it would help me get, as much information as I can from this survey.

Research Topic

 As of right now my research topic will have a focus on the media, like, I stated earlier in my conversation with my friend. I want to understand how the media operates in the 21 st century, and why it has changed over the last couple of years, where they decide to sensationalize the news, and not properly fact check their sources. Media, nowadays, worries more about ratings than actual journalism; my goal is to understand that shift in thinking. Though, I think that I have to define what I mean when I say the "media", as their are multiple types of media that we as a culture consume on a daily basis. I want my focus on the media to be about... looking at major news stations like CNN and Fox(will add more news stations).
