Dissertation thoughts

Well I have been thinking (between panicking about the other assignements sue before xmas) about my dissertation topic and although I dont have anything particularly concrete at the mo I have been thinking about cultural events and their political implications. For the finance assessement we are currently working on I have used the accounts of a charity organisation that bring artists from all over the world together helping to promote diversity in the arts. They are quite an interesting find I think, Ihave spoken to the office manager and he has told me different stories of working abroad and how last year they were all set to do some pieces in Iran. However months before and unrealted incident in the UK that caused some Iranians to have their passports revoked caused the Iranians to revoke the British artists visas and therefore the event could not be put on. I also think that it would be interesting to look at the UK and its 'community' events as they have to work on a very low budget and have to hit certain criteria for ethinc minorities.

In general I would have to say I am not 100% confident at the mo, it all seems a little stressful although I think it will be better when I start to get some assignments back and then i can gauge whether I am working well or not!

Hopefully all will come together in the end and I am pretty sure I am not the only one that is a little worried about everything so hopefully we can help each other out.

Now back to my finance essay - its driving me crazy i dont know if what i am doing is right or not eeek!
