JOURNALISM

By Rebecca Weller
What is Journalism?
Journalism is a form of writing that informs people of
things that have happened which they may not have
already known about.
People who do this type of work are called Journalists.
They might work for newspapers, magazines, websites or
TV or radio stations.
The most important characteristic shared by journalists is
curiosity. Good journalists love to read and want to find
out as much as they can about the world around them.

Photo Journalism
Photo journalism is a particular form of journalism. It
creates an image in order to create a news story. It
usually only refers to photographs, but in some cases
videos can be used to present a story. Photojournalists
create images that relate to the media.
This is an example of
photojournalism. This
photograph shows
poverty, so instead of
reading information about
it, it is shown in
photographs, so you get
the full idea of what the
poverty and hunger is
like.

Questionnaire Underage Drinking
1. What do you think the appropriate age would be to start drinking?
2. How old were you when you had your first alcoholic beverage?
3.How often do you drink alcohol?
4. Have you ever exceeded 5 alcoholic beverages at a time? If so, have you had this is the last month?
5. What age would you start letting your children drink alcoholic beverages in your company?
6. Have you ever been arrested because of use of alcohol?
7. Have you ever successfully used a fake ID to obtain alcohol?
8. Do you think underage drinking is a major problem?
Secondary Research on Underage Drinking
By the age of 18, more than 70% of teenagers have had an alcoholic
beverage.
Underage drinking usually occurs in social places.
As they grow older, the chance that young people consuming alcohol will
grow.
60 percent of college women who have acquired sexually transmitted
diseases, including AIDS and genital herpes, were under the influence of
alcohol at the time they had intercourse.
Underage drinking can lead to anti-social behavior which will disturb local
residents of there area that the teenagers are in a may convince them to call
the police.
American statistics show that in college students who were underage would
drink less often than those old enough to drink alcohol, but when they did
drink, they would drink in excess.
Different types of questions
A closed question is a question that only requires a yes or
no answer.
An open question requires an opinion on the question
that is being asked.
A probing question is a question based on an answer that
someone has given you.
Results for questionnaire
The results for my questionnaire had varied opinions.
Some people I interviewed said that they would prefer to
familiarize their children with alcohol at a young age, so
when alcohol is introduced to them at a later stage, they
will be aware of the affects it has. Others said that they
would prefer to wait until the child is around the age of
16-17 before introducing them to alcohol. Many of these
people agreed that underage drinking is a big problem in
society, and believe that this could be improved by
checking ID thoroughly and by parents giving an
understanding of alcohol at an early age.

successfully used a fake ID to obtain alcohol? The statistic shows that 75%
said no, and 25% said yes.

done this in the past month? The statistic shows that 90% said yes,

There is significant new research concerning
adolescent brain development and the effects of
alcohol and other drug use on the developing brain.
This emerging science is providing new insights
about how teenagers make critical and life
influencing decisions, including their decisions
about drug use. Brain imaging studies suggest that
the brain continues to develop through
adolescence and into young adulthood (age 25
years). During adolescence, the parts of the brain
that are responsible for expressing emotions and
for seeking gratification tend to mature sooner than
the regions of the brain that control impulses and
that oversees careful decision making. As one
expert puts it the teenage brain "has a well-
developed accelerator but only a partly developed
brake.

College: I think that
underage drinking is
a big problem in
today society
because it leads to
anti-social and bad
behavior
Evaluation
Throughout this project my aim was to find out peoples
views on underage drinking. I found out that the majority
of people I interviewed thought that underage drinking is a
problem in our society and that it could be improved by
being familiarized with alcohol and its affects from an
early age.
I chose this subject because I find it interesting and am
curious to find out what people think of underage drinking.
