My statement (revised)

TV Drama Fever among College Students

In this modern society, TV has become the most important element of daily life. Most people release their stress from watching TV. Recent years, a series of TV dramas is performing on TV one after another. From Japanese drama to Korean drama, it has become a fever among students and housewives. It seems people get some comfort and unachievable dreams from watching those dramas. Why could those TV dramas be so popular? How do TV dramas affect people’s perspective and values? This will be a very controversial subject. In the research paper, certain subjects, like attitude toward life and perspective of love, will be discussed. Consequently, the discussion and research scope will be base on the psychological part, and the main study group will focus on college students in Wenzao.

My proposal.

Oh my god........., I am gonna laugh happily.
Today when I was typing my proposal, I felt my writing was going smoothly!!
I finished it within one hour. That's was to my surprise. Anyway, I am so happy I've finished it. I am also satisfied with my propsal.
After doing the proposal, I also do a little bit change in my previous writings, and I'll post it both in Writely and blog.

Here is my proposal:

Proposal: Trendy TV Drama Fever among College Students

In recent years, TV drama has become a trend among students, and even housewives. The word “trendy drama” originated from Japan, and the first TV drama was introduced into Taiwan from Japan. Since that, TV drama has become popular in Taiwan. Therefore, people called this kind of drama “Trendy Drama(趨勢劇).” “Trendy Drama” usually presents how people deal with life, love, frustration and difficulties in daily life. Characters in a drama also meet the same situation as other people in the real world. The story and characters will usually correspond with people in the real world. People will feel the same feeling with them and even be inspired from the story or characters. Accompany with this trend of trendy drama, not only Japanese drama but also Korean drama was introduced from Korea. In Taiwan, there is also so-called trendy drama. Instead of trendy drama, people in Taiwan called it “Idol Series Drama(偶像劇).” In idol series drama, the characters in the play are usually played by popular idols in order to attract more young generation to watch. These years, Japanese drama, Korean drama and Taiwanese drama are three main drama streams in Taiwan. In the research, I want to do the research about how those dramas influence people’s in psychological part, like values, viewpoint of love, and attitude toward life, etc. I will also analyze the difference in features and way of performing among Japanese drama, Korean drama and Taiwanese. My main study group will focus on the college studens in Wenzao.

Annotated Bibliography.

Actually I think making a bibliography is really difficult for me to do! (sigh)
However, I've finised it at last..............(I even don't know how I finished it= =)
At first, I think this topic (drama) is very easy for me to do...although I have interests in it.
After I looked for the information, I started to realize I really have to work on it or I will fail!!!
There are too many information but too wide and general. I really have to narrow down the
infor. in order to get wut I want.

God.....it seems a long way to go...

(I will post my bibliography in my writely blog)
