A) Identify a social research question you are interested in.
Why are children today feeling over scheduled?

B)Pick at least one of the research methods discussed in the readings that you think would be appropriate to use in trying to answer this question and existing sources. Explain why you would use that method.
My research method would be Survey and it would be a selective sample (high school children).
The survey method would work best because: It would reach a wider variety and a larger volume of children.

C) How would you use it?
I would create a survey questionnaire that would be given to children in high school.
The questionnaire would consist of the following:
1)Name:
2)Age:
3)Grade:
4)Male or Female:
5)List all the classes you are currently taking:
6)Time school starts and ends:
7)On average how much time a week do you spend on homework:
8)What extra curricular activities do you do every week (list days, time it starts and ends):
9)Do you work? If so how many hours a week?
10)Is everything you are scheduled for your choice or some else's (identify what activities are your choice and which ones are someone else's and who that other person is):
11)Do you feel that you have enough time do things you enjoy:
12)Do you feel that you are over scheduled:
13)If you could remove a few things (other than school and homework) from your schedule what would it be:

D) What possible ethical issues might you confront using that method to try to answer your question? What would you do to try to avoid or minimize such issues?
I think that anytime you would do a survey on minors you would have to be very careful of how the questions were written. The questions would have to be written in a style that would not be bias to a gender, different group or cultures, or sway the person answering them in any way.
To minimize or avoid ethical issues you could have a diverse group of people work on the questionnaire. Before conducting the complete survey a small sampling using the questionnaire could be conducted and the results scrutinized for problems.
