SOAPS DO MATTER - AND SO DO SOAP FANS!

A very good friend of mine is preparing a research paper on soap operas to present at a major media conference. They are looking to include examples of the following from viewers:

* Viewer education as a result of a health-related storyline (i.e. someone getting a pap smear because of Bert Bauer, HIV awareness due to
Robin Scorpio,etc.)?

* Soap opera viewing used as a welcome break from “real-life problems”?

* Soap viewing as diversion (specifically, viewing of a soap, for entertainment purposes, that spans years/decades)?

* Viewer response to long-dormant character or storyline resurfacing after years or decades?

* Long-term friendships forming as a result of involvement in soap opera fangroups, fan events, or viewing parties?

* Involvement in any “fan activism” (i.e. “Save Our Show” campaigns)?

Please e-mail me your responses at AlinaAdams@gmail.com. All answers will be kept completely confidential, and are for academic research purposes only.

Want to show what it truly means to be an engaged, intelligent, involved soap fan? This is your chance!

Are you wondering why you are not able to achieve results with Law of Attraction? Everyone heard about Law of Attraction, but the problem is most people have incomplete information that leads to misunderstandings. Many books on Law of Attraction contain scanty information that fails to provide valid information on how to implement it. However, recently one top guide is gaining popularity due to its unique approach and explanation about Law of Attraction. This book is called Ultra Manifestation.
We decided to purchase this Manifestation Hack book to analyze its Manifestation Formula to find out if it works or not. This way we think we are in better position to explain everything about the book to help you in making a better-informed decision.
For beginners who don’t know, Ultra Manifestation by David Sanderson is a self-development book that helps you learn how you can improve your skills to achieve anything you want in your life. Although this book doesn’t show you how to make money, it teaches you a simple 10-minute audio that you need to earn money and achieve your goals. It shows you a better way to implement Law of Attraction in your life and achieve your goals.
