Sept. 21, 2009

Today we met up at GCN and we had a conference call with Diana. We went over our 10 hypotheses that we worked on and got some feedback from her. We agreed that our hypotheses were repetitive and that maybe we can combine bits and pieces from each of the ones we came up with. Here's what we narrowed it down to:

1. The urban village of the Marshallese Community in Orange County resides within the church, due to various disagreements among the church's principles on religion; it has had an adverse affect on the Marshallese youth and young adults to turn to drug and alcohol abuse.

2. Moreover, drugs, alcohol, and different substances are taking control of the youth in the Marshallese community. Lack of cooperation on all sides of the disagreements on their religion contributes more frustration and tension amongst the Marshallese.

After narrowing it down, now we are going to work on trying to combine these two hypotheses so that we have one main hypothesis. We have a lot to learn about research and we thank Diana for the great tips and articles she had provided for us to read and learn from.
