Aims of the Dissertation

This should include ‘to investigate the following hypothesis or to answer the following research question(s)’. With the same then specified as bullet points.

Among the variety of aims that have to be achieved in the process of writing a dissertation, it is necessary to define the following objectives:

To comprehend the reasons of why African American communities, face a number of challenges in the clinic trials;
To identify the consequences of such low level of participation in the chosen community;
To define how social aspects like the chosen style of life, living conditions, or time limitations may influence African Americans’ participation in clinic trials;
To introduce the cultural issue and the difficulties which are developed on the cultural field;
To comprehend how the presence of volunteers influence the general state of affairs concerning African Americans’ participation in clinic trials;
To evaluate how African Americans, suffer due to such inequality and inabilities to become worthwhile participants of clinic trials.

In fact, proper and clear definition of writing aims helps to start writing and to clear up what results have to be expected from the work done and what may happen in case some steps are taken in a wrong way. What is more important, the evaluation of aims introduces a good way of how the work has to be organized from the very beginning. The main research question of the dissertation is connected to the level of African Americans’ participation in clinic trials and the reasons of why this level is not as high as it has to be (Anderson, 2000; Bordas, 2007; Early, 2006).

To evaluate the theme of clinic trials and African Americans participation, it is necessary to pay much attention to social and cultural aspects of conditions under which the chosen community lives. It is not enough to identify the problem and its causes but also to focus on solving these problems and improving the situation.

Methodology

This section is about how you propose to answer the questions above or to investigate the hypothesis. A pilot study is recommended before using a questionnaire with the main sample.

Feasibility

Have you got the resources necessary – e.g. access to data –consent from your firm – some indication of the willingness of subjects to be questioned or interviewed?

The theme under consideration may be investigated in a number of different ways. First, the sources available online may be used: Internet magazines, articles, and books. Second, being a member of the local library, it is possible to find enough reliable info there. And finally, personal investigations help to observe the style of life supported by African Americans and the challenges they face nowadays. Each of the above-mentioned sources has its own positive and negative sides: the Internet sources are available 24/7, this is why there are no time limitations and restrictions, the only weakness is connected to the impossibility to be sure about the reliability of data found online.

Library sources are usually reliable but much time has be to spent to find out necessary information. Personal investigations may be used from numerous perspectives but still, it is necessary to be ready to prove that the chosen idea and fact is appropriate for the theme under analysis.

How Your Work Fits Existing Published Work

Compare and contrast them with each other and with your approach. Some (at least 5) must be academic publications, preferably from refereed Journals, which will be found in our online library. Citations from the main textbooks used for your modules are NOT sufficient here.

Why You Are Doing This Topic

Apart from the obvious – to get my Masters degree, what is the benefit hoped for to your firm or industry etc. What actions may result from the valuable insights gained?

The African American community plays an important role in society we live in now. This is why it is crucially important to evaluate the challenges and inequalities this community faces. The reasons of why the theme “The Lack of African American Participation in Clinical Trial in the United States” is chosen are clear and comprehensible: social and cultural aspects are always interesting to investigate, and if there is a chance to touch upon these aspects while writing a dissertation, it is necessary to make use of this opportunity and to enlarge the level of personal knowledge.
