• Write a research question based on a social science perspective and related to at least one of your advertisements.

If you were to design a sociological, psychological, or anthropological study of your ads, what question would you want to answer?
o Your research question only needs to be related to one of your four advertisements. But if you find a common trend in your ads, you may tie your research question to more than one.
o It is expected that you will revise your research question, but you will need to finalize it by the end of the next module.
• Describe how you used a social science perspective to create your research question.
o Each branch of the social sciences (sociology, psychology, anthropology, political science, and economics) is interested in different aspects of human behavior.
