A good research problem should address an existing gap in knowledge in the field and lead to further research.
To write a persuasive problem statement, you need to describe (a) the ideal, (b), the reality, and (c) the consequences.

Reflections

So far it felt like my group was getting along quite well. All of us seemed to contribute and do our part equally in finding ideas to base our project on. I felt quite relieved to be honest, because I do not know what I would do if I were to be stuck with an unresponsive group for the rest of the semester. With my group members it felt like we were getting steady progress. We had a handful of data collected from several different websites and articles.  One of my group members first found out about Japanese mechanical dolls, while I suggested looking into the geisha lifestyle. Another suggested how stationery impacted her life. The theme "mythology" slipped from my mind at first, but I discussed with the group and all was well.
