Research proposal
Proposal:
I plan to research the effects scary movies have on the human body and psyche, as well as why people enjoy them as form of entertainment. I chose this topic because I have enjoyed scary movies most of my life I have always enjoyed a good zombie flick or two. I always wondered why I enjoyed them so much and why they don’t seem to bother me as much as my female friends.
To explore this I plan to look on the internet for different Web pages about the subject. I plan on watching a few different types of movies and paying close attention to my reactions to them. I will look for any documentaries about the subject.
Working thesis:
Everyone loves fear, or do we? Thought society we are constantly exposed to gruesome images, and violent endings. What happens to our minds, our consciousnesses that accepts this and eventually takes pleasure in acting out gruesome portrayals of realty? What is it that clings us to fear?
