Research Proposal (Week 2)

 Research Proposal 

/


What is my current topic?

'Social network service, so-called SNS is a effective tool for diplomacy?'
I want to research about this topic and my argument is that 'Yes, it is.' 
More details are written on the second question's answer.



What are my guiding questions?

How SNS can attract people's attention? Now what are they doing for this? Before SNS appeared, what was the image of diplomacy? What kind of effects do SNS have?
I want to research focusing on these questions. 


What are my current thoughts?


The image of Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, so-called MOFAT was not that good. 
People doesn't know much about what diplomats did and they are negative to MOFAT. 
As a Facebook user, I know there are a lot of Facebook pages related to diplomacy. For example, Mofa, Korean Cultural Center, Culture Affairs Bureau of Mofa, Development Cooperation Bureau of Mofa, Korea Brand Forum and so on. In addition, the great amount of people can access to these pages. That's the good point of SNS. So with these good points, I want to persuade people that it is effective to attract people's attentions toward diplomacy by using social network service. 


What is the opposition?
  
They may argue about the uncertainty of the information because not only experts but also normal people can manage and administer SNS like Facebook Page. In addition, there could be some risks that foreigners can have negative view by SNS.
And of course there are other ways to help diplomacy but nowadays, SNS is a big and effective tool for diplomacy.
