Task 9 - Blog Buddies

From my own class, i have decided to chose Manveer as my blog buddy. One of the main reasons i have chosen her is because her research is based on representations which is the same as my own. we are both looking at representations but the difference is that i am looking at black youths and she is looking at asians. Areas of overlap include that we both look at the social issues of how certain factors are changing in society and this topic raises alot of debates. Whilst looking through Manveers blog i noticed that many of our key terms are similar such as Deviance. Furthermore, some of the research which she has done is likely to be similar to mine in terms of representations, this is because our topics have alot in common when it comes to representation of certain people.

My blog buddy from the other class is going to be Anjali. Her study is also based on coach carter which is a key reason as to why i have chosen her. We are both focusing on how the youths in the movie are represented therefore alot of our research and information is going to be alike. Also, since i am chosing somebody whose is very similar to my own, we can look at eachothers blog more frequently and learn from eachother as all together we may have alot more information. therefore i can look at her blog and think about whether i am considering the same issues as hers. Moreover, her institution is obviously the same as mynes and our key words are going to be much more similar then anybody else. In conclusion, i think that this blog will be very helpful to my independant study more then any other.
