In my final research paper, I would like to discuss the following issues and be able to find answers to the following questions:
Part I: The definition of the word “Genocide”
Brief historic outlook of how the Armenian Genocide took place in 1915.
How did the leader countries of that time react to this?
The Armenian diaspora after the Genocide. Where did the survivors reach?
Analyze 2 pictures taken from the Genocide.
The role of media during the Genocide
Analyze lyrics of a song (to be picked very soon)
The Turkish point of view regarding the Genocide until today
Why is this Genocide still denied?
Why does Turkey remain unpunished until today?
Part II : Advertising and media has been the strongest weapon for all types of campaigns for some time now, what has been their role from 1915 until today? (Discussion of this point in details through different media)
Analyze and discuss samples of posters and stickers designed by university students taken from various years.
On the national level, discuss briefly what the Lebanese have done for the recognition of this Genocide
On the international level, talk briefly about The Armenian National Committee of America. Also discuss the role of the European media.
Bibliographies:
“ Black God of Fate” by Peter Balakian (book)
“ The Great War for Civilization; The Conquest of The Middle East” by Robert Fisk(book)
“Armenia; Cradle of Civilization” by David Marshall long (book)
“Western Armenia; lost Motherland” (DVD produced and directed by Haig Harutyunyan)

Rosaline,
Your proposal is thorough and convincing.
I want you to focus much more on the analysis of the media than on the historical events. The questions of 'Why is this Genocide still denied? Why does Turkey remain unpunished until today?' should only be mentioned in your paper in relation to your critique of the representations of the genocide.
Your bibliography is good in terms of historical references, but you need to look for books that study the representations of conflict or genocide (posters for example)
these are the results I found in the library writing 'war posters', check them out and look for other references for other media.
