Reading: From Questions to Problems

A research problem defined by what it is that you do not know or understand, but feel you must.

my practical problem -- tons of children witness the disaster and lost their familiy in the huge earthquake which happened in Sichuan recently. Their mental health were affacted to a certain degree.

my research question: How can I help them by building up something using?

my research problem: How media helps the recovery process of post-traumatic stress disorder.
