Working on the first assignment

For the first assignment, I need to work on a theoretical framework (theoretical perspective for a research study). One option is to reuse the paper(s) from the recently completed Research Methods course (http://fmooresignatureassignment3.blogspot.com/). Another is to work on a new research topic/area.

At this time, I am thinking of making this new course all about decision-making. I could continue my work on online reviews, which touched on decision-making (I completed a paper on online reviews for the first literature review course).

I found an interesting paper on social media and decision-making in the NCU dissertation database that gave me ideas. I think people get ideas and make decisions based on information in a variety of places - not just online reviews. An example: pins in Pinterest. Someone reviewing my Pinterest profile (https://www.pinterest.com/fahmeenaodetta/), for example, could use the information to make decisions about what to purchase, where to travel etc. Maybe I will make this my research topic/area.
