For writing project #4 I will be doing a power point. I will be setting up a few slides for each discipline that I am going to be talking about in relationship to the psychological and mental effects of unemployment. A power point will be more powerful in this situation than a brochure because there is a lot of information to cover. There are so many different people and disciplines effected by unemployment.
The power point format will allow me to use bigger headings to divide up the disciplines and people that are being effected. The main focuses of the power point will be to give the audience a quick look at the major points of the unemployment problem. I do not want to bore the audience with useless facts, but rather get straight to the point and keep their interest.

Annotated Bibliography
Komarovsky, Mira. The Unemployed Man and His Family. New York, NY: Octagon Books, 1971. 66-83.
Komarovsky in this section talks about how the husbands of the families studied personality changed. This chapter of the book is used to describe what it is exactly that the husbands are dealing with. The pages show us the effects on the children and wives of the husbands who are unemployed.
In this chapter on the personality changes of unemployed husbands statistics are given about to what extent they are effected. The most interesting statistic to me was about how much of an effect the women had on their husbands. It was easy to see that when the women were instrumental in the attitudes of men the unemployment was not effecting them as much as the other husbands.
Kalil, Ariel. "Unemployment and job dsplacement: The impact on families and children." Ivey Business Journal. (2005): 1-5.
To begin with Kalil shapes the economic situation of the mid 2000's. He makes a point to let the reader know that the economic strain of unemployment is taking place. The unemployment rate rose in the early 2000's and reached a high of over 6% in 2003. This journal article also lets us know that some of those who lost their job were re employed while some others were left unemployed.
The second part of the journal focuses on what happens once the person becomes unemployed how it effects the families and children. One paragraph is focused on the negative effects to the family because of unemployment such as where the kids are going to school, housing, and food. A little thought about side effect of unemployment is that you may not only have to move, but you will also have to move to a neighborhood that is not as safe as you would like. The article also gives us statistics about how the unemployment effect is not the same on all races.

Research Question 101
Topic: Labor agreement in the NFL& the potential of a lockout
Disciplinary Perspective(s): Economic (effect of a possible lockout on how money is spent not only by teams, but by fans as well), Social (what kind of effect would a season ending lockout have on fans?), Cultural (if football is taken away do people find a new sport?)
Research Question: What kind of effect would the NFL's labor dispute have on the economy of sports as well as the economy as a whole? How would the fans be effected by this potential lockout and to what extent?

The Changing World of Sports Management
Just like every other occupational field, the world of Sports Management continues to evolve. Some future issues with the Sports Management field focus on the current labor agreements in the National Football League.
Currently the NFL and the owners of the NFL teams are in the middle of labor disputes and the potential of a lockout is very possible for next year. This would cost both the players and owners a considerable amount of money, but neither side seems willing to budge on the demands that they are looking for. I think this would be a very interesting topic to research because millions of people tune in every Sunday and Monday to watch NFL football.
I would also like to learn more about the actual demands of the Players Association as well as the NFL Owners. The NFL is currently claiming that they need the players to be willing to play for less money than they are currently playing for. Naturally the players are not excited at all about this, nor are they willing to compromise at the current point in time. This is a topic that interests me very much, and directly relates to my future profession.
