Mini Proposal
Although I have been using this blog as a way to account for my thinking process for my literature reviews and dissertation, I thought it best to create a small post about my first thinking about the layout of my dissertation.

Looking at research reviews — 1200
Talk about the reviews I have written and the strengths and limitations to them with reference to my title
How can this relate? (Fad challenges) — 1200
Relate more to my title and bring in how the research is relevant to recent fad challenges in relation to risk behaviour. E.g. : The Bird Box Challenge, The Kiki Challenge, Deodorant Challenge, The Condom Challenge and more
Why I think this important for current issues and the future? — 1000
The importance of this information and the extent the media can be held responsible for risk taking behaviour. Think about how this information can effect the future and what more could be done.
Conclusion — 300
Concluding statement
It is important at this stage to not feel pressured to stick to this structure. I feel it best to physically write a draft down and be able to alter it later.
