I have to write an 8 page research paper on political parties. What could I write it on?

It has to be a shot research paper and I wanted to talk about the media influencing voters decisions. How can I tie it directly to political parties. I mean I cant just talk about the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads influencing voters against Kerry. I have to tie it directly to parties. Any help?

I have to write an 8 page research paper on political parties. What could I write it on?
I would consider forming my paper around Internet media. It's influence on the politically involved computer user and how it has affected the dissemination of political rhetoric and the contributory effect it has had on the current Grand Canyon wide division between the two main American political parties.





The Ron Paul Internet effect vs. the reality of his political position in the "real" world might be worth considering also. It would apply to media because Ron Paul supporters (mainly Internet based) largely blame his failed candidacy on the media ignoring him.





Good luck with that paper. Working on one of my own right now that has my head about to explode ;-).

Reply:Do a paper on Independents because they are both for ideas from the Democrats and the Repulicans so that way you can cover all parties...
Reply:The media puts zero emphasis on any party other than the Republicans and Democrats. The majority of the population would never consider voting for any other party, most likely because they don't know about them and don't know what they are about....
Reply:The different news outlets have bias towards particular parties. Fox is famous for its Republican bent. Notice the way people move between it and the White House: Tony Snow left Fox for the White House, Karl Rove got hired by Fox pretty quickly after leaving the White House.





I'm sure the others have their deals, too.

I need a sample research paper or ideas on health snack eating this projecy is being done by a 6th grader so please make it on a 6th grade level

Can someone please find me an example research paper on healthy snack eating?
Since it's for a school project, you probably should do some of the digging yourself. I'll give you a push in the right direction... Google the term "healthy snack eating for kids" and you'll get some good sites returned.





If you need some actual studies, you'll find all you need here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez... Type "Children snack" in the search box. The articles may be beyond a 6th grade level, but most research papers will be since they are not targeted to 6th grade readers. You should be able to get some good information out of the study abstracts, though.


Research paper on the topic of your choice?

Ok, I have to write a research paper for my Western Civ. class and I get to pick the topic. Trouble is, I have no idea what to write about. It can be about anything from literally the beginning of time to the year 1650. What would be a good topic to write about?

Research paper on the topic of your choice?
Write about some type of legend. Those are never boring...mixed with passion, love and adventure. It should definitely be interesting.





I don't know if this is dumb and unrelated but I would love to write about Helen of Troy and the greek goddess and gods..however I think thats philosophy.Never mind that!
Reply:I wish I were in your shoes! You get to pick your topic. I am stuck with a topic that my teacher chose and I have no idea what to write.
Reply:A great topic to write about would be Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) and his effect on Europe at the end of that period of Western Civilization. What he contributed to science has huge effects on current science, including the now-accepted knowledge that the earth revolves around the sun, not the other way around.





There is a HUGE amount of information on him (making the bibliography a cinch) on the internet and in books and in periodicals.





Also, if you get the chance, there's a wonderful biography called _Galileo's_Daughter_. It's about his relationship with one of his illegitimate daughters who was a nun and quite intelligent -- had she been born a man, she could have very likely been his successor and heir, for she understood his teachings so very well. It covers the schism in the Catholic church at the time over the scientific Renaissance -- it's an amazing read if you get the chance.

Reply:How about the Iraq war. This is not the first time the west has invaded Iraq. You can look at the parallels between the British invasion of Iraq in the early 1900's and the U.S. invasion in 2003?
Reply:Well, we do have a rather nasty war on at the moment and we're going into a recession the likes of which we've never seen. Fascism is on the rise, especially here in North America.





Imagine it's 2607 instead of 2007. What might stand out as the great issue of the day? Make a snap judgment about that, and then begin.
Reply:If you are an American you might find this topic interesting...





How about comparing America's involvement and reactions to the Iraqi war with America's involvement and reaction to Vietnam/Korea? You could compare Presidents,reasons and justifications for the American involvement, reactions worldwide, military tactics (American Vs both Viet Cong and Iraqi troops), Political climates in each country, civilian and military reactions.. and how they change or evolve over time.


You could interview people who were actually in Vietnam or Iraq ask them for their perspective.. you could find out what people who were in Vietnam thinks about the Second Iraqi war. You could look into what were the motivating factors in each (Not just 9/11 but other tensions IE religion, natural resources, differing political views etc.)


That's just a few ideas on one topic that I had without really thinking about it, imagine what you could come up with with some thought!


If you do tackle this topic though, try to be impartial.. try to leave all prejudgements behind and try to look at it from the standpoint of a neutral person be Switzerland! Don't make any conclusions until your conclusion!!


Good luck with your assignment

Hello nicklauschuzon,





How about ... the Barnum-effect! (a.k. as the 'Forer-effect')


This interesting psychological phenomenon has been studied very frequently during second half of the 20-th century.





For example: I used the Barnum-effect in my research project on Palmistry. You can read about my approach and my findings at:

Thanks for asking!





PS. The Barnum-effect is related to issues like: 'subject-perception' and the human inclination to project 'vague' personality description on oneself.

Could you help me to my research paper all about drug addiction?

Could you help to my research paper all about Causes of Drug Addiction( enviromental causes, family problems and peer pressure) could you give me some information about this topic

Could you help me to my research paper all about drug addiction?
Add in there addictions to the medications the doctor hands out.





My father was a alcoholic. This being one of the largest deadliest acceptable drug there is. All the railroad workers I grew up with were all alcoholics. We would go down where he worked and in some spots it smelled horrible of old alcohol....Why he drank? I guess because it was so acceptable all his pals drank?





If you would go to your library and look through the DVDs I am sure you can find information there about drug addiction...
Reply:I dont like to say there are causes of drug addiction but there are predisposing factors such as a family history of substance abuse or mental illness, a large number of women in recovery from chemical dependence report early sexual trauma, cultural expectations and social structure play a role as far what substances are availible and what is acceptable. Addicts come from a wide variety of backgrounds,if you have time sit in on an OPEN AA or NA meeting,you can learn alot about addiction that way. Good Luck on your paper.
Reply:there are all kinds of drug addictions....





pot, coke, meth.....pick one....





all three cause family issues, there is also the pressure from friends to do it (mostly pot). and mostly in high school kids. there are lots of websites that can help you research it.

Reply:Hmm I guess I cant be of any help.. none of those issues you mention really had anything to do with it in my case.. I just liked the drugs.. Sorry..
Reply:I have been in recovery for a year and in my experience with the people I was fortunate to get to know, both in meetings and therapy and the friends and family of others like me, I would say it's 50-50.





50% Environmental, because I'd say most addicts, alcoholics, overeaters, sex addicts, and all of the others had some sort of severe childhood trama. Be it sexual abuse, physical abuse, abandonment, even schoolyard ridicule like being bullied or otherwise tormented by classmates or neighbors has a crippling affect on ones sense of self, boundries and becomes an ego turned inside out. We hate how we feel in our own skin so we seek comfort in that next hit or drink or whatever takes the hurt and the fear away so we can be better. At first, that is. We don't want to work through the pain of growing up emotionally so instead, we will spend our lives trying to be this better version of who we think we are, or think we should be. It gats harder as the addiction gets worse and the effects of our disease begin to take hold. Such work it was for me to just get up and shower and dress to go to the grocery store. No one would want to spend a minute in the tweaker hell I created for myself, much less years or a lifetime.





The other 50% I believe is hereditary. Chemicals in our brains and the way that they function has got to be a product of the genes in your family. My father is an alcoholic. His father was an alcoholic. I am an addict/alcoholic/bi-polar with a borderline personality disorder to boot. I was depressed before I started using meth, but now you can see I have altered my brain severly and permanently so I have graduated to all of my current "isms".





There is also the truth about alcoholics having a physical allergy to alcohol. Normal people produce some sort of ensyme in their liver that counters the alcohol, thereby not letting it hit your system without somewhat metabolizing it first. Alcoholics lack this digestive ensyme and the alcohol enters that persons' body full force. The effects are more intense, as it hits the brain and knocks out all of the natural chemicals that usually deliver pleasure and causes the parts of the brain that produce these chemicals to take a vacation. That's why an alcoholic will begin to have blackouts very early in his drinking career and also why we build up a tollerance. Now we are no longer the cheap date that we used to be, we buy dope by the oz. now, not the gram, and the bottle has a handle on it so when you fall you can still hang onto your booze.


Normal, or social drinkers don't drink because of something, they don't drink at something, and some of us get to know that normal people dont drink and use until there is no one to drink at or to or with and it's only that desparation and lonliness that causes us to make a decision to live or die. Hitting bottom, in other words. Once bottom is acheived, the only way out is a spiritual solution. Not god, the devil or religion. That is a big misconception that I think keeps people from really giving themselves to a solution that works. If you believe in something, anything, grab ahold of that for spiritual guidance, reliance. It may sound rediculous to the athiest, but does the athiest have any children? Find your serenity in the miracle that is in their eyes and their hopes and dreams of when they get to be like you. Is that not real? Some people believe in Karma, good over evil and the golden rule. We all have values and morals or standards that we live by, they're different, but I believe that most people a genuinely good and will reach out to help others if they were given the opportunity to do so. I believe that most of the evils that go on in this world are products of some sort of addiction. There are mind altering chemicals out there that will have you steal from your mother, use your friends and sell your soul just to have another taste for another day, until tomorrow, then it's on to armed robbery, kidnapping, assault, murder.





So to the agnostic, the athiest, I say - If it will save your life, like it has saved many others will you believe in a beautiful rewarding life that keeps getting better and you finally get to become who you are supposed to be? Or do you twart this need for a belief and continue down a very logical path that leads to crazy or locked up or dead? Not saying that therapy and medication wont help. It will. The doctor gave me the explanation. The 12 steps gave me the ability to understand it. Overcome it, every day. I learn more about who I am and who I was, sometimes things seem really overwhelming. Now, after going through the problems and having the experience of things working out ok or even good, I know I can handle it. Sorry for the soap box. I get carried away, cause it means so much to me. It saved my life. I am greatful.


That's my experience. I hope it helped.
