The research Proposal Aims

Question: Produce a written submission demonstrating the skills involved in the process of defining, developing, conducting and reporting a research project and creating a research proposal. Answer: Introduction: This research proposal has tried to investigate the reason behind the issue that elite Pakistani footballers are not coming to play football within England. This proposal has intended to know the reason behind this. Many Pakistanis live within England. As discussed by Khondker (2008), there are lots of racism within the England. Mostly Asian communities have faced different situations within the game sector of England. On the other hand, Burdsey (2011) stated that, racism has played a role within the sector of football within England. It is the most complicated perspective that has affected the normal well being of the Pakistanis. England is one of the most developed countries of world. Therefore, most of the Asian countries are underdeveloped. There are several countries those are still developing the internal infrastructure of the country with the monetary or other type of help of developed country. This can be a common phenomenon of the developed countries to see the developing or poor country as their slaves or similar things. There are cultural differences between the habitants of the England or Pakistan. However, Kilvington (2013) stated that, football is the most popular game and it needs active participation of Young British Asian. Football needs motivation of players. Therefore, it has been witnessed that there is huge participation of Research aims: The aim of the research is to investigate the reason behind the non-participation of elite Pakistani footballers within England. Objective of the research: Research objectives are as follows: To investigate the nature of England football To analyze the tendency of Pakistani elite footballers of England To investigate the reason behind non-participation of the Pakistani elite footballers in the football sector of England To recommend the effective technique of attracting elite Pakistani footballers within the British football Questions of the research: Research questions are as follows: What is the nature of Pakistani footballers within England? What is the prior tendency of Pakistani elite footballers in England? What is the reason behind the non-participation of elite Pakistani footballers in England? What are the effective techniques of attracting elite Pakistani footballers within the British football? Literature review: This section of literature review discusses relevant concepts and theories of this particular research topic. In order to analyze this topic, the researcher has to take some relevant concept that is attached with this topic partially. Concept of Racism in England: As stated by Khondker (2008), racism is the critical issues within the society. It is a complex theoretical phenomenon to understand. Race has been distinguished by different researcher as a range of disciplines within different aspects of society. Race is still used by different politicians and other power structure as well as power institutions of the society. As discussed by Kerksick et al. (2008), race is the boundary between two people or two groups. Race can be considered as the boundaries between the people and group. Race can be distinguished as boundaries and differences of people of different aspects. Race is the process of social invention among people and the group of people. Process of using race is the critical element for disturbing the people and structure of the society. Often different countries distinguish a people or a group of people by their age, color of skin and sociological position within the society (Kilvington, 2013). Relation between racism and colonialism: In the seventeenth and eighteenth century, European had started to capture different poor countries of different regions of the world. They had started to make colonies within the countries of Asian region. In this situation, racism had started to explore within these countries. For this reason, British race had turned to the superior race rather than other people or otor the colonized people of different countries. British had become the superior race within the society as they had power, position and brighter skin also. Non-white other people had become poor race as well as lower race within the society. On the other hand, Bek (2010) stated that, Pakistanis often faces issues for their non-white skin or the Asian identity. Therefore, Pakistanis have been targeted for their race, caste and religion. People with Muslim religion have become the target of racism within the White people of England. Race has become a powerful weapon of the developed country like England in order to dominate over the people from Pakistan as well as other counties of the continent of Asia. The utilization of racism and race is very dangerous for the inhabitants of the country. Therefore, the bad utilization of racism while playing football is very dangerous and bad for maintaining the reputation of the country within the other regions of the country (Long et al. 2005). Islam phobia and football of England: However Donnelly et al. (1985) discussed that, there are relation between racism and Islam phobia within the grassroots level of football. Pakistani footballers often have experienced racial discrimination within the context of football. There are Islam phobia and serious issue of racism within the football sector of England. There are significant levels of racism within the grass root level of football within the gaming sector of England. On the other hand, Long et al. (1997) argued that, a new form of racism has evolved within the contemporary society among world. Racism has been involved in the psychology of the people. Therefore, racism has been involved in the cultural differences of the people. However, new framework of symbolic racism refers to the concepts of ethnicity and national identity of the people. Cultural clashes are very much related to the process of racism within the people of the country. There is multiple meaning for racism within the people of developing countries. On the other hand, Ratna (2007) stated that, Islam phobia has turned into the inconclusive, bland term and anti Muslimism within the people of the developed country as well as England, America etc. This Muslim phobia has led to the reason of non-participation of elite footballers in the football team of the England. Therefore, the Muslim phobia has led to some sort of isolation of the Pakistanis within the society of England. Racial discrimination has played a distinctive role within the sector of football of England. Research methodology: According to Bernard (2011), research methodology provides different types of tools or methods for systematically deal with the whole research. Methodology of research discusses different scientific techniques in order to deal the whole research with systemic and organized manner. Types of investigation: As discussed by Lancaster (2012), three types of research investigation refers to exploratory, hypothesis testing research and descriptive research. Exploratory research helps the researcher for providing detail information about the particular research topic, as the researcher has no clear idea about the particular research topic. Exploratory research design helps to provide an analytical view of the research. On the other hand, Brannen (2009) discussed that, hypothesis testing research refers to this type of type of research that helps the researcher to fix a hypothesis first in accordance with the particular research topic. Thereafter, the researcher develops the whole research with relevant models and theories as per the set hypothesis are concerned. Descriptive research study provides proper models and theories for discussing the whole research with descriptive viewpoint. For this research purpose, the researcher can take exploratory research study, as he /she have no clear idea about the models and theories of this particular research topic. Method of data collection: A researcher can take two type of data collection method in order to conduct the research with proper data and information. A researcher can take primary and secondary data collection method. Primary data is never published in any type of printed documents or journals. Primary data comes from different interviews, questionnaires, surveys etc (Cameron, 2009) On the other hand, secondary data refers to the published materials regarding the particular data. Secondary data mainly comes from the journals, books, blogs, websites etc. For this research study, the researcher will conduct primary data collection from some Pakistanis who live in England. Therefore, the researcher will conduct primary data collection process for investigating the issues of this particular research. Primary data will be more relevant and appropriate for conducting the whole research. The researcher will send postal questionnaires to the Pakistani inhabitants of England. Method of sampling: As stated by Freshwater (2010), a researcher can take two types of sample method for fixing the sample as per the requirements of the research. Probability and non-probability sample method are two important types of sample method those can be utilized in the research process. Probability sample method helps to randomly select the sample from the respondents of the research. On the other hand, non-probability sampling method does not provide the option to select the sample randomly from the respondents. For this research purpose, the researcher will take probability-sampling method in order to select the proper respondents for the research. The researcher has to know the Pakistani population of England. Therefore, the researcher will be able to select the sample from the respondents. The researcher will take the help of simple random technique of probability method in order to select the proper respondents in order to conduct the whole research process completely. Plan of data analysis: The researcher will collect primary data from the Pakistani habitants of England in order to know the reason of the particular research. However, Knox (2009) stated that, the data analysis plan is of two types; those are quantitative data analysis and qualitative data analysis. Quantitative technique of data analysis is very important and much relevant for properly conducting the research process. Qualitative data analysis technique helps to analyze the research data by descriptive manner. Therefore, quantitative analysis is much relevant and important for dealing with the particular research. Therefore, for this research purpose, the researcher will conduct the data analysis process with the help of quantitative data analysis technique by using SPSS software. The researcher will present the analysis and findings in Microsoft excel sheet. Accessibility issues: As stated by (), a researcher has to face some accessibility issues while gathering data for the research. A researcher often faces accessibility issues from the perspective of the respondents. Mainly for this case, the researcher can face difficulties in order to find Pakistani habitants within England. The researcher will also face problems in order to understand which Pakistani family has the experiences in playing football. Ethical issues: In order to conduct the research process, a researcher can face ethical issues in order to complete the whole process of the research. The researcher has to follow the guidelines of Data Protection Act of 1998 in order to maintain the privacy of the information or the data that has been collected by the researcher from the respondents. Therefore, the researcher should not publish the data in any type of books, journals or any materials. The researcher should always maintain the privacy of the data and the respondents. The researcher has to take prior concerns of the respondents. Structure of the proposed research: Main research project will contain five chapters. First chapter will include introduction, aims, objectives, questions of the research. Second chapter will contain literature review, conceptual framework of the research. Third chapter will contain research methodology, data collection process, sampling and time horizon of the research project.
