Expected sources of research

(historical examples / state of the art examples / Inspirations/ moods and themes)

I intend to look at the FBI, CID, Lawers, Military and other forces and people left with the resability of upholding the law, preventiing from people from doing evil things and helping pople do the right thing.

I intend to look at leaders such as Adolf Hitler, Jozef Stalin and Mao Ze-Dong who commited genocide and leaders such as Gandhi, Martin Lurthur King, JFK who died for what believed in was right.

http://www.jfklibrary.org/ (JFK)

Want to research into Various types of Martial arts and how they help discipline people and protect people in particular Taekwondo and Shotokan Karate as I have first have first hand experience of these and can recount this also

http://www.barrel.net/ (Taekwondo)

http://www.ska.org/ (Shotokan Karate of America)

Want to look at various ways for people to relax like Tai chi which  my uncle has done for many years so I can ask him of his first hand experience.

Research goals, aims and objectives

I want to research physcology, socialogy and simular studies of people and try and identify what is going wrong, how etc and try and find ways to prevent theses things from going wrong so possibly i could look into cases where the criminal has later talked about what they felt was wrong or incidently what they thought was right because this could be where they went wrong.

I could look at law and politics and simular subjects as there are set laws and rules which vary from place to place from culture to culture, peoples views of what is right and wrong is often different from one person to the next so i can look into previous leaders, and people thoughout history and their views on things and possibly where they went wrong of did good (but in the i's of who)

I could into a whole range of possible subjects and try and finds ways to improve things like martial arts, medatation, exercise, tai chi which again reminds me to look into other cultures and how they deal with things.

Lets not forget the the title of  course Design and Communication, so want to look at designers and animators etc so I want to look at a few sources in particular including

Books such as

Children solve problems,
Indroducing Audodesk 3ds Max 2011,
The Animation book,
Plasures with products
Adobe Flash Professional classroom in a book.

 Also I want to look at video sources including

Audodesk 3ds Max Authorised Essentials Skills Video Training
Adobe flash tutorials
Genius Of Design
Design 1,2 and 3.

A brief project description

The purpose of the project is to find ways to find ways to improve the quality of peoples lives and to identify negative things and try and possitive solutions, in particular addressing peoples attitutes towards each other and ways help identify what is the right thing to do and ways to implicate theses ideas in order create possitive solutions to help people respect each other, work together to create a more civalised, peacefull, enjoyable world to live in. an example might be an aplication that can identify peoples talents so they can be assisted and facilitated.

I Am What I Is. (Project name).

This is the name of the project, it about people being aloud to have freedom to be who they are and expess themselves without being evil or bringing harm to others, aknowledging that no one is perfect reflected in the title as the grammer is wrong. I want to look at possible ways this can be achieved and identify the kind of things that may hinder people in thier pursuit of happiness. I want to use of the design process to explore this and possibly create something that may help.
