Research on Question (Secondary Source)

The Question I have picked to find out about and answer is:
How are people's' attitudes and tolerance when introduced to different, new cultures in the 21st century as opposed to the past, and can the appreciation of dance unite everyone together no matter their language, age, race or other differences?

I have been carrying out individual research on the internet (my secondary source) to find out possible ideas that can be expressed in my answer to the Question I have picked and gather information from a range of sources and groups of people/ people to what I am trying to find out.

Some examples of the research I have found..
 My first source is a book that I found on the internet. The document was called 'Dance, Diversity and Appreciation'.

Title: How are people's' attitudes and tolerance when introduced to different, new cultures in the 21st century as opposed to the past, and can the appreciation of dance unite everyone together no matter their language, age, race or other differences?


Objectives:
-To be able to enhance my choreographing skills, i would like to learn how to create a range of routines and dance techniques -To build my confidence to perform on stage -To excel in cutting, mixing and playing around with music and audio sound files -To introduce Korean music and pop culture to the mainstream audiences in countries not influenced by Asian entertainment -To learn different forms, genres and styles of dance which I can present to the audience and entertain with -To understand how far and to what extent has people in the 21st Century's understanding, tolerance and attitudes to other cultures not of their own become -To encourage and promote the idea of diversity and individuality in dance What are your responsibilities: I am doing a project on my own so I am responsible for everything from idea to production of the performance. Some examples of the things I will be doing are: -To Choreograph to selected music -To teach the choreography to the back up dancers -To mix the list of songs for the performance -To sort the budget of the clothing -To order the costumes -To arrange rehearsal and performance dates -To plan the performance -To create the visual aid for the performance -To select and secure a location for the performance -To create and get signed the contracts for the performers and location Why did you choose this project? (Personal interest. future plans, skills development) I have a passion and am very interested in both dance and music; Korean Pop music in particular, and because I love and enjoy it so much, I wanted to expose and share it with others who are largely influenced by Western music and entertainment (as even I myself am, living in a western country). and so not aware or with little knowledge of the talent and individuality in Asian entertainment. The Asian country of which this project is largely influenced off is Korea obviously. I am looking to go down the career path of Law and criminology or Entertainment, so this project could help boost my confidence, which I will need in the future.
