My revisions will mostly be summed up in rewriting and rethinking how I approach explaining the problem I propose in my proposal. The method given to me was helpful in showing me that everything was disorganized and didn't make too much sense. I had to go back to square one and really rework everything in a more friendly way for the audience to understand, and I had to even cut some stuff out that didn't feel too relevant. In other words, the revision felt very needed and I think the draft I am turning in is better for it.

The most challenging about this proposal is convincing everyone the existence of the problem. I can see this being easily brushed off and that is probably what I am most scared of.
The most challenging aspect of the project entire will be conducting the research. It is not hyperbole to say that Common Clutter is under researched, I coined that term because I couldn't actually find any. In practical terms, I'm going to need to meet up with professionals to know how to best tackle these problems. This is definitely mainly for the scientists and researchers, but this can also have an effect on social workers and psychologists alike. Common Clutter is very much about a person's habits and mind and how they affect a space whether it is positive or not. A lot of work can be done by government workers who interact with people every day and by people who are here to improve mental health and study it.
I think evidence will be cases and numbers. Why types of cases have occurred, and on what scale? I will definitely write this as a problem that needs the help of all the different communities I approach. This is not something one man can do alone, but instead it requires the helping hands of everyone. Literally this work can affect everyone. Even people who do not have a living space can benefit from this because it is so basic and ingrained in every human being on our relationships to possessions and how we live in our space. My audience is for most people, although it is especially geared to researchers and scientists because they will be the community who continue to do the hard work of research into this area.
I feel as though the exigency of this project should be very apparent. How much do we know in this area of human behavior? From what we already know, small improvements in the decluttering habits of your average person has immediate and positive effects. How can we not give that to every single person on a widespread scale? Is is a living basic to have a clear head and a clean, functional home. We are teaching people basic, easy-to-learn things, they just need to heard. This is why the research is so important. There is no better time because there is nothing here. It is ripe fruit for picking, it is harvest that is yielding everyday we don't do something. There are millions of unhappy adults who do not know why, and we would be doing a disservice to them if we did not act now that can have such a positive impact on the world. My CRQ change significantly until I felt confident I knew what I was writing about. It really just took a good understanding of my topic for myself to know whether or not my CRQ was appropriate. Obviously this was how it turned out, but I firmly believe that things need to be close to you personally to invest the time and work into creating something good, so subject is imperative.
When it came to working with others, you could say I worked with the few who have done research into the area of my CRQ, but my true source of conversation came from my wife who has truly taken the time to learn about those who are tackling Common Clutter. I find that this area of research can be very transformative for society on a whole because it is such a real part of life yet there is little done in concrete scientific proof to address it. Yes we all have our own ways of dealing with clutter, but is there a best way? Are there methods to help us understand the clutter better? That i the goal of my research. |
