INVESTIGATION


Area Of Interaction: Health & Social Education

1. The various ways the world wide web could be used as an advertising tool is through googles ads, YouTube, social media, banners, slogans, pop ups and websites.

2. One real life issue that needs to be advertised on the webs is problems teenagers go through.

3. The topics that will be mentioned are health, safety, peer pressure and bullying.

4. I know many teenagers who have been pressured into doing things they would have never thought of doing before but do it just to try and ‘fit in’. These people would generally begin to feel uncomfortable around their so called friends. So creating a website where teens could talk about their experiences and problems would be very useful.  Also, nowadays teenagers think it is normal to take in things that are harmful to their bodies like smoking. This happens all over Dubai, and some people force others into doing it. Sometimes people just think that they will just try it out and then without themselves knowing they become addicted. Bullying is a very important topic as this happens not just with teenagers but with adults and children too. Some people feel more superior to others causing them to be saying rude things or physically hurt another person. With teenagers there is also a huge problem with cyber bullying as technology is a big part of this generation; it is used for nearly everything. Cyberbullying mainly occurs on websites like ask.fm and they are worse when they come anonymously.

7. For this project we will be using Dreamweaver as it lets you create a website from scratch and upload it to the internet.
