Thought Paper

Choose a theoretical concept that reflects any aspect of media and communication research. Define it clearly, and then propose one or more ways to operationalize it as a measurable variable for the purposes of a quantitative study. Using deductive reasoning, propose at least one hypothesis that establishes a clear relationship between your variable of choice and another variable. Now consider a way to employ inductive reasoning to expand the existing scholarly knowledge about your concept of choice. Propose a qualitative study and explain how you would collect observations that would allow you to engage in inductive reasoning. Propose at least one research question that reflects a clear need for inductive reasoning. As a general guideline, the paper should be about two pages long (not including references) and double-spaced. [unique_solution]See the attached sample paper!
