After presenting my research for Project 5 – The Change I Want To See… in my tutorial, I have developed a series of next steps to take, as a result of analysing and reflecting on the feedback I received.
FEEDBACK
They are interested in people’s attitude for the difference in attitude. young people and parents whoever is a versatile narrative narrowed to their parents term of their view o love, what they think love is what, whether or not there is an overriding practical concern. Whether loving considered important at all, in regards to matchmaking, and it seems that the key person, or the key stakeholder or the key bridge in my project is the matchmaker, because they are the intermediary, that gets to speak to both parties. The two people who are being matched, it seems to me that my challenge is one to do with challenging traditional attitudes, there will be a group of people who may be value those more traditional more conservative, and then there will be those who freedom to choose for themselves, whatever path there is, but then I have this kind of societal barrier, and it’s gonna be interesting in terms of how to deal with unpacking.
They suggest that look at a specialism, that might help, and also explore counselling and the techniques that counsellors use mediation and the techniques that mediators use when dealing with conflict and dealing with different groups, Because I think from what you’re saying, the mediation element, or the Matchmaker is probably the most important person in all of this. I have the wishes of the of the LP, that want to get married on the other wishes parent, but the Matchmaker is key, because the method could be the person with the power to say to the parents, the thing is that whatever decisions the parents want to make, traditional, conservative values whatever is the people getting married that has consequences. So there is an argument that they are the most important people, because they have to live whatever decision is made. And if it’s the wrong decision, they are going to have to pay for it, emotionally, physically in terms of time and effort. So, it might be that my project is more about getting the parents and the older generation to understand the younger generation, maybe it’s more weighted in favour of the people who have to live with the decision.
This project has come from my focus I possibly should be helping married people or the person being in a position to get married, make the right decision and to not be forced into making the wrong decision. And the project is focused around that possibly understanding around that. Trying to get the people who are being pressured to understand the position that they already lived in, in terms of societal context that they’re in. Before to do something that will have a devastating impact on their lives, Potentially. I think I would possibly focus on the matchmaking element of it as possibly the ethical intermediary sort of decision making position as the person who speaks to both sides to help with that.
NEXT STEPS:
- Further engage with stakeholders how to plan to get the parents, child, marriage choice, or objections, and how to get people to engage with the older generation their parents whose point of view?
- Explore counselling and the techniques to deal with conflict
- Focus on matchmaker and explore how to reduce the conflict through matchmaker?
- Consider the position of my project as a researcher, where are my positioned in my project? In terms of the people getting married, the parents to view and the matchmaker, where do I see myself?
