Writing a proposal about the group research project for the Intercultural Communication class. The topic is Redlining
Question:
Writing a proposal about the group research project for the "Intercultural Communication" class.
The topic is "Redlining" which is happening in the low-income area in the United States.
Below are other sample Topics for this Group Research Project
Gentrification in LA
The standardized test's impact on the Hispanic community
Media representation of immigration
Apple as an example of economic globalization and its implications
How social media helps marginalized communities
For the research proposal, the statement of my research topic needs to be more concrete and specific.
But there is no clear format.
For this reason, I need help with writing a proposal regarding "A study on Redlining in Low-Income Areas of the United States" in detail.
