(i) Strengthening statistical capacity in support of progress toward the
internationally agreed development goals in the Southern African
Development Community region
(ii) Implementing entities and U Secretariat
with ECA
partners: DESA jointly
(iii) Background
Statistics are an important tool in the development-policymaking processes
of countries and regional organizations. They are needed for assessing the
current development situation, setting objectives and targets for the future and
measuring progress and development. However, a substantial gap still exists
between the demand for information and the ability of most countries in the
Southern African Development Community (SADC) region to routinely provide it.
The SADC Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan recognizes
statistics as one of the cross-sectoral areas that need to be strengthened to
foster regional cooperation and integration over the next 15 years. This project is
therefore designed to improve the availability and reliability of basic data
required for development planning in the SADC region, with special emphasis on
data requirements for the internationally agreed development goals and the
Millennium Development Goals. The project is aimed at facilitating subsequent
networking among subregions through interactive sharing and management of
knowledge. Furthermore, the project will strengthen links between producers and
users of statistics.
The project builds upon lessons learned from three statistical development
projects implemented by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs
Statistics Division in the Caribbean Community, Association of South-East Asian
Nations (ASEAN) and ESCWA regions. The project will be executed by the
Department of Economic and Social Affairs, in collaboration with the Statistics
Division of the SADC secretariat and in association with ECA.

SAMPLE CONCEPT PAPER B
Corruption in the Broadcast, Print, and Social Media: Its Effect to the
Conception of Perceived Social Reality
“Do media reflect reality (exactly or distortedly) or do they construct it in the
first place?” That question was asked by Stefan Weber in his paper on Media and
The Construction of Reality published in 2002 which totally convinced me to
focus my proposed dissertation on the conception of social reality. Gerbner in
1960s spearheaded the study on Cultivation Analysis which is later discussed in
this paper as one of my frameworks for this study.
My proposed dissertation aims to determine and analyze the effect of
corruption in the Broadcast, Print, and Social Media to the conception of
perceived social reality. These are the following questions that I have in mind:
What are the forms of corruption (coercion, bribery, etc) encountered by the local
media practitioners in Tagbilaran City, Bohol? What are the usual favors in
exchange (of the dole out)? How did the local media practitioners handle the
situation? How did corruption distort the news? What is the perceived social
reality of the voting populace after being exposed to distorted broadcast, prints,
and social media posts? What is the effect of news distortion to the conception of
perceived social reality in terms of voting preferences?
My proposed dissertation is going to be anchored from the study
“Government distortion in independently owned media: evidence from U.S. cold
war news coverage of human rights” by Qian &Yanagizawa-Drott (2010) and
5
from the Cultivation Analysis Theory. Qian &Yanagizawa-Drott (2010) will help me
frame part of the methods which covers corruption and distortion while Cultivation
Analysis will help me in unlocking the effects of news distortion on perceptions,
opinions, and attitudes of the voting populace in their conception of perceived
social reality after being exposed to distorted broadcast, prints, and social media
posts.
Since this paper is intended to discuss about the framework of my proposed
dissertation based on the resources on cultural and critical theories, I will only
mention a few about Qian & Yanagizawa-Drott in this paper to give primary
emphasis on Cultivation Analysis.
The study of Qian & Yanagizawa-Drott (2010) investigated the attempt of the
U.S government to manipulate news coverage of human rights practices of their
political allies during the Cold War. These include coercion, bribery and
other methods of corrupt practices in the case of the government authority. In my
dissertation, I will be investigating the forms of corruptions, whether this is
grounded on coercion or bribery, which leads to news distortion in broadcast,
print, and social media during election periods in Tagbilaran City, Bohol. I will be
discussing further how Qian & Yanagizawa-Drott (2010) will help shape the
concepts of my dissertation in the Course Project which is due on the 13th of
December.
On the other hand, Cultivation Analysis (as one of the frameworks for this
study) theorized that television creates a world view that, although possibly
inaccurate, becomes the reality because people believe it to be so. The most
familiar version of the “cultivation analysis’’ is that those who spend more time
watching television are more likely to perceive the real world in ways that reflect
the most common and recurrent messages of the world of fictional television
(Morgan & Shanahan, 2010). The viewers’ conception of social reality is an effect
of their exposure to the different issues or phenomena as presented by broadcast,
print, and social media. This effect in the conception of social reality is defined in
terms of some kind of ‘‘change,’’ most often short term, and in response to
specifically targeted messages (political, commercial, etc.). This change shall be
the focus of my study. I will analyze the effects of news distortion to the
conception of perceived realities and how this affects voting preferences during
elections in the Province of Bohol.
There are already empirical studies conducted on Cultivation Analysis but
most of those focused on psychological and societal issues e.g. self-esteem,
parenting, crime and etc. (see Gerbner & Gross, 1976; Gerbner, Gross,
Jackson-Beeck, Jeffries-Fox, & Signorielli, 1978; Gerbner, Gross, Signorielli,
Morgan, & Jackson-Beeck, 1979). However, there are maybe a few or even none
on cultivation analysis which attempted to draw the possible effects of news
6
distortion to the conception of perceived reality and its relationship to the voting
preferences of the people exposed to distortion.
In my proposed dissertation, I would like to explore Cultivation Analysis from a
different perspective. This is on how media affects voters’ views and
preferences on a particular political image after being exposed to news distortion. I
intend to use survey methods to assess the difference (if any) on the change of
perceptions, opinions, and attitudes of the voting populace after being exposed to
distorted broadcast, prints, and social media posts.
I also noticed that most of the previous researches only focused on
television so I intend to extend from television to radio broadcast, print, and social
media.
This study will use both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The
study will be conducted in the City of Tagbilaran, where there are two existing
radio stations—DYRD Worldwide AM/FM and DYTR Bohol 1116 Khz – AM/FM.
Also, the City has five newspaper companies—The Bohol Chronicle, The Bohol
Sunday Post, The Bohol Times, Bohol Bantay Balita, and The Bohol Standard. The
respondents of this study will be from the broadcast and print media practitioners
and a sample of the voting population who will be selected through purposive
sampling. The number of respondents will be identified after consultation with the
statistician. This study will also make use of questionnaires and interviews in
order to derive the data needed for the study.
Directions: Recall your previous lesson on
Ways to Elucidate a Concept. Read each statement
and identify the word or term being described.
1.It is a logical technique by which the meaning of a term is
revealed.
2. It is an attempt to reveal the meaning by calling
attention to implications, such as the connotations of words
and the tone conveyed by the brevity or length of a
sentence.
3. It is a method of explanation in which the points are
organized from a general abstract idea to specific and
concrete examples.
4. An academic text that defines an idea or a concept and
explains its essence in order to clarify the “whatness” of that
idea or concept.
5. Its purpose is to stipulate the meaning of a term by
limiting, extending, or redirecting the sense in which a term
7
is usually understood; to use a term, borrowed from
another field of knowledge, in a special way.
Directions: Match the excerpts from the sample
concept papers with the field of discipline it is
associated with.
1. We plan in this project to enlist the resources of the international
regulatory, academic, public health, industrial, and consumer communities at
all levels to set food safety goals and priorities, to harmonize and better
distribute our existing assets, and to eradicate the weaknesses we find within
our current food protection systems. We envision the FSIA not as a traditional
educational facility, but rather as an institution that can harness and draw on
the immense expertise, scholarship, and experience of the region’s food
specialists. This proposal envisions a collaborative, multi-organizational effort
involving partnerships with Western Hemisphere governments’ animal health
and public health institutions, industry, international organizations, and
academic institutions.
2. This study will be conducted in the context of a developing country, the
findings of the study will potentially contribute to the field of language teaching
in the Southeast Asian region by offering a framework that integrates both the
socio-cognitive and transformative aspect of language teaching and learning.
This paper, through the developed framework will help teachers expand their
repertoire of techniques and best practices to effectively deal with the
learners’ individual differences; consequently re-skilling them.
3. The key objective of ADB support is to help the Philippines achieve high,
inclusive, and sustainable growth. Of the five core operational areas of
Strategy 2020, the proposed lending program will focus on infrastructure,
environment, and education. The project contributes to the Government’s
|strategy by ensuring continued economic growth in Metro Manila, the main
economic center of the Philippines.
4. The specific objective to achieve under TWG3 is to enhance general public
awareness on public health issues. As some of the core aspects that largely
affect the health status of human beings and the maintenance of societies, it
is crucial for the general public to improve their knowledge about public health
issues, decide and conduct appropriate behaviors, and form solidarity with
8
others. Witnessing more harmful effects on social minorities, and vulnerable
and at-risk populations, caused by past and present outbreaks of infectious
diseases and various types of non-communicable and chronic diseases, the
Network has selected the topic of ‘Public Health and Vulnerable Groups’ for
activities for 2010 and 2011. Organizing various programs under this topic,
ASEF will bring the added value to the collaboration between Asia and
Europe on public health issues by sharing each other’s experiences.
5. To provide a framework in discussing the nature and scope of government
efforts for the development of Mindanao, there is a need to conceptualize the
term development, specifically rural development as it is appropriate to the
conditions and needs of Mindanao. The operational goals of rural
development, according to the World Bank (1975), may be categorized as
follows: improvement of productivity, and thus higher incomes for the target
groups; and minimum acceptable level of food, shelter, education, and health
services.

consumption at age 11.7 years. Peanut butter consumption gradually declines
through the remaining public school years and remains at about 0.6 jars per
person per year throughout adulthood. The USDA and the peanut industry have
identified low peanut butter consumption as a major risk for multiple chronic
conditions in adulthood such as full—time employment, mortgage payments
(sometimes extending as long as 30 years), and the birth of children.
