If someone returns a questionnaire with identifying personal information, then it will not be used in the study and will be destroyed. The questionnaires will also be constructed so that there will be no questions that could potentially violate the participants privacy in any way. For instance, there will be no questions asked about the particulars of the child's suicide, where the mother works, what particular community she's from and what church she is a member of, etc. Questions such as these could deter the target audience from responding because of fear that their privacy could be jeopardized. The introductory letter sent with the questionnaire plays an important role in weeding out any ethical issues that may arise. The letter will clearly define the survey and discuss why the prospective participants were chosen. They will know that none of their personal information was used in order to send them the survey and that they were randomly chosen based on the area in which they live. The letter will also explain that we believe that this issue (suicide) in their community hasn't been properly researched so that it can be properly addressed within their community. It will be stressed that they are not to provide any identifying information and their survey will not be used if they...

An ideal situation would be to do face-to-face interviews or a focus group. but, since we do not have a clue as to who our target sample will be until we send out the questionnaires, interviews and focus groups would be ineffective to our study. As the literature states, we must also be mindful of the trust issues that the African-American community deals with as a whole. Throughout history, African-Americans have participated in studies they believed would help them only to find out the studies were to the benefit of the researchers and of no help to them. The Tuskegee Syphilis study is a prime example.
Overall, the findings are expected to produce favorable results that support the literature review. The sampling method is appropriate for this type of study since the potential participants are considered a part of a hidden population. The questionnaire used will be carefully designed and ethical issues will be addressed in ways that are described in this paper. It is expected that this research study will bring this issue to the forefront so that possibly more research can be done.

He used the still-shot (Dirks, 2013). Griffith incorporated "the technique of the camera "iris" effect (expanding or contracting circular masks to either reveal and open up a scene, or close down and conceal a part of an image)" (Dirks, 2013). In addition, while this was still in the era of black and white film making, Griffith was able to employ, "extensive use of color tinting for dramatic or psychological

In "Piaf," Pam Gems provides a view into the life of the great French singer and arguably the greatest singer of her generation -- Edith Piaf. (Fildier and Primack, 1981), the slices that the playwright provides, more than adequately trace her life. Edith was born a waif on the streets of Paris (literally under a lamp-post).

Again, it is also important to see that implementation of these stricter sentencing reform initiatives which supposedly were devoted to reducing class and race disparities in male sentencing,
