research paper

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

2010-04-26T00:38:00.000-07:00

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:You are most welcome ;-). Thank you. Report Abuse

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.

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: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:

http://www.handresearch.com/hand/Evoluti...

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?

2010-04-26T00:36:00.002-07:00

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.

What I would like to know is how we can start the research paper.

Can Someone Please Help Me With Physical Geography of Egypt Research Paper?
best thing to do is make an outline. pick one subject per paragraph. your introduction should talk about what you're going to talk about in the paper, and the conclusion should summarize what you talked about, and possibly what you learned. this is way easier to do with an outline.

check out this link for outline help:

don't forget to turn the outline in with your paper...the teacher will love it.

How do i start my research paper???HELP ME?

2010-04-26T00:36:00.000-07:00

I have to write a research paper about eating disorder. i am talking about the different types of eating disorder like anorexia,obesity,bulimia.

Can you help me please

i really need help starting it.

How do i start my research paper???HELP ME?
start with one sentence that describes eating disorder, like statistics. example"eating disorders affect mostly young females in American,between the ages of 12-25"(ot actual statistics)

build from there...

WHAT is an eating disorder- WHAT are the symptoms-WHAT is the mortality rate, etc etc

WHY do girls develop eating disorders etc etc etc

HOW are eating disorders treated? HOW do they begin, etc etc etc

and on and on.. include the 5 w's and how..

you can do this in your research paper for each disorder individually, rather than as a whole, to bulk your paper:)

good luck
Reply:Here's a start:

"We all know about eating disorders and how deadly they can be if left untreated. Usually the people that have them have a really misconstrewed image of their body and think they won't be accepted with the rest of society without being stick thin. It can affect anyone in any age ranging from pre-teen years to adult hood..." and so on.

Good luck.
Reply:Start with a famous story about someone that died from anorexia, bulimia, obestity or statistics about it like anorexia kills 5 million people a year or something
Reply:You could start with a hypothetical story "Janie filled her plate at the party. "How do you do it?" asked her friends, "Eat all that food and stay so thin?" "Oh, I'll just throw it up later", Janie said, making them all laugh. She wondered what they would think if they knew she wasn't joking.

Eating disorders effect everyone . . .

How do i quote or cite for a research paper?

i'm like a bimbo college girl. i don't know what style a research paper is all my teacher said was write a 4 page research paper. most of my information is taken from wikipedia and this other web page so all my sources are from the web. i really need help on like writing citations? or sources? what the? and like the format of the essay. i'm really an airhead please help guys.

How do i quote or cite for a research paper?
Allybama you should be nice to yourself you got to college that means you are alot smarther than you think :) Most colleges use the MLA Formatting and Style Guide in regards to your question.

It would take too long to explain how to do it. The best thing I can offer is a website which you can read and then do what is says on your research paper.

Here is the link:

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resour...

Good luck i know you will be able to do it, and I hope you get a top mark on your research paper :)
Reply:I recommend MLA style...the way to cite a quote is after the quote. you would write: (author page) i can't remember if there should be a comma, but that you can research.

here is a great cite for doing your works cited page.

http://citationmachine.net/

you might wanna rethink your sources. most prof's do not like wikipedia, because it is not reliable seeing that any1 can edit it. Research papers normally involve you using databases to find your information. i am in college also, and its not hard to find this information using a database. just log in to your library, and that should get you into the databases. good luck and happy writing!!
Reply:Most likely your teacher expects MLA style. Google MLA and you should be able to find exactly how to write the paper from the format to the citations.

Can you re-reference an endnote number in a research paper?

2010-04-26T00:35:00.001-07:00

I'm writing a research paper, and I only plan to use about 8 sources. Now, I reference a source early in the paper, let's call that endnote #2. I then reference sources 3 and 4, but if I want to go back and re-reference the same page of number 2, do I put #2 again, re-list the source or not reference anything at all?

Can you re-reference an endnote number in a research paper?
No, continue counting but when you have your endnotes page at the end of the paper, do something like this

1. Author,title,publisher,page

2. Author,title,publisher,page

3....

4....

If 5 is the same book as 2, do this(even if it's the exact quote):

5. Author's last name, page.
Reply:In the end-note format, you would just give the same reference again and still give it #2. Don't leave a reference out if you took any information or ideas from a source--even if you put it in your own words.

Write a five paragraph one, those are the easiest formats to follow.

Intro: Dr Seuss..... a little bit of background information, and a thesis statement that conisists of three things why you think Dr. Seuss pertains to your topic.

Each of those three things starts its own body paragraph.

Then a conclusion.
Reply:The first paragraph is the intro right? So in the beginning right about like basic usual stuff. (birth, hobbies etc)

The next para. is about his childhood.

The next is about how he started to write like what made him write.

The next is about anything you want.

The conclusion is the death where he was dead and stuff.

You can write more paragraphs.

Make sure you add more pictures to make it more interesting.

I need help with a psychology statistics topic for a research paper?
i dunno how easy this would be, but what about the theory called the Oedipus complex. Its the theory of why guys tend to marry women like their mother and daughters like their fathers. I found it interesting because my mom was in and out of me and my brothers life when we were kids so i basically raised him cause my dad worked all the time. He ended up marry a girl exactly like me - same birthday, same middle name, same height, and acted just like me.

or another good one i heard was how when you are in class alot of professors tend to refer to everything in the male sense of a word,(ie - when speaking about God, we always say he.) i read where a male student had a female professor that changed everything to reflect the female version of the word. So if when speaking about God, she would say she. And you dont realize how it affects how you feel about being excluded from a group. You could maybe make up a survey some how that would differentiate the two and peoples perceptions?
Reply:Maybe the delay of gratification. You could ask some questions with situations about getting something now or getting something better later.

Then you could compare gender, age, or race (difficult to ask) and see if there are significant differences in you sample.

Break down the student time into how much time a male talks and how much time a female talks.

Then analyze your results.

What is a book report, research paper and a thesis, What is the difference of the 3?
Book Report=by the word itself it means you report what you've read in a certain book. This includes summary of the story, anatomy of the characters involved and some additional info like lessons learned in the book.

Research Paper=means you have a certain question that is quite intruiging and you yearn for an answer, so you resort to plenty of reference materials like books, magazines, newspapers, internet etc. then you compile every information you got to come up with a conclusion about answering the topic question.

Thesis=Involves everything youv'e learned in your certain study and apply those to come up with a concept of your own and much like research paper, you also resort to lots of reference materials to prove and defend your concept so that it will really be a thesis.

What is the WHOLE PURPOSE of a RESEARCH paper?

2010-04-26T00:32:00.001-07:00

We do a lot of research papers in school. Is the whole point just to learn about a SPECIFIC topic in DETAIL to relate "book" world studies to "real world" dimensions?

What is the WHOLE PURPOSE of a RESEARCH paper?
It's to learn how to find your own answers. In life, most of what you need to know will hardly require the writing of a paper. But you will need to know how to learn about all kinds of topics on your own. When you come home from the doctor's office and he says your child has impetigo, and you're not sure of what the medicine is supposed to do or how to tell if your kid is having an allergic reaction, you will need to know how to find answers...on Sunday night when there's no one in the doctor's office to ask. Research is to teach you to become your own teacher.
Reply:There are lots of answers:

1. Because you've been goofing off in class.

2. To learn research skills, how to use encyclopedias and whatever.

3. To understand a certain topic and how it relates to others.

That's just three, I didn't want to tire you out. ^_^.

Hope this helps!
Reply:teach you how to research, cite sources, organise and present ideas. you will do research papers in most jobs you will get in life-only they go by names such as investment reports, new and editorial articles, annotated bibliographies, etc. you also will do research on your own for hobbies, writing and even choosing a lawmaker or president.
Reply:Its practice for the college and the real world. In college you have a good chance of doing real research that will be discovering new facts. In a lot of jobs you will be called on to get information together so accurate decisions can be made. Its actually pretty interesting, especially statistical theory. You can narrow down cause and effect and make pretty accurate predictions based on statistics. Learn it, you will find it very handy.
Reply:The whole purpose of a research paper is to gather together all the available information on any given topic, arrange it, adjudicate it, and end up with a definitive statement about the topic. It's an important skill to have, especially as there is such a flood of information today, in all forms of media, about every subject under the sun. Knowing how to do a research paper gives you the tools to evaluate the information you are being given and to decide whether it is valid or not.
Reply:You learn. Thats it.
Reply:When I was in school it seemed like the teacher(s) whom were doing them wanted to know where we were at as far as how we could put things into owr own words and how we seen things we read in books/history and how we opened up to the different ideas and subjects to get us moving and reseach for our own story. It helps us learn and grow.

I'm writing a 8 to 10 pages long research paper on the invention of telephone: how it was invented, how it was developed, etc... I don't know where to start. I don't know how to organize it, can someone kind of give me an outline or something like that. Thanks.

I need help on my research paper please?
For a research paper, first of all you need to do lot of reading ...as you are reading on the information ...keep jotting down the good line you find which you can use as quotations...(so keep in handy your sources too below the quotaion).

Then when you start to sit down and write your paper... make an outline... by now you have all the information at hand, so you will have rough idea what to include and which direction to go...like

history or background(year.....fued etc) about one and half page

the main theme(how he worked on and the years all info)

about 3-4 pages

the conclusion (upto one and half to two pages)

once you are clear on your outline separate the quotations to use in the appropriate sections..

Preferably,start with a quotaion.. ( I always did that and used to get very good grades as it is very impressive)

below is some info... you can use.,.. all the best :-)

The history of the invention of the telephone is a confusing claim and counterclaim, further worsened by the lawsuits which hoped to resolve the patent claims of individuals. It is important to note that there is no one "inventor of the telephone", though Alexander Graham Bell is often credited as such, and the Italian Antonio Meucci was recognized by US Congress on 11th June 2002 for his contributions to inventing a telephone. The modern telephone is the result of work done by many people, all worthy of recognition of their contributions to the field. Bell was the first to patent the telephone, an "apparatus for transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically", 16 years after Antonio Meucci, who did not have sufficient funds to file a patent, demonstrated his "teletrofono" in New York in 1860

According to a letter in the Peking Gazette, in 968, the Chinese inventor Kung-Foo-Whing invented a speech transmitting device, which probably transported the speech through pipes. Speaking tubes remained common and can still be found today.

The lover's telephone (or string telephone) has also been known for centuries, connecting two diaphragms with string or wire which transmits the sound from one to the other by vibrations along the string and not through electric current. The classic example is the tin can telephone, a children's toy made by connecting the bottoms of two paper cups, metal cans, or plastic tubes with string.

The source is listed below (1)

______________________________________

Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray raced to invent the telephone.

In the 1870s, two inventors Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell both independently designed devices that could transmit speech electrically (the telephone). Both men rushed their respective designs to the patent office within hours of each other, Alexander Graham Bell patented his telephone first. Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell entered into a famous legal battle over the invention of the telephone, which Bell won.

Alexander Graham Bell - Evolution of the Telegraph into the Telephone

The telegraph and telephone are both wire-based electrical systems, and Alexander Graham Bell's success with the telephone came as a direct result of his attempts to improve the telegraph.

Reply:First find out who invented the telephone. Then

do a google search on inventions/telephone. I would

write my paper in a time line. What happened first,

second and so on. Start your paper with your topic

sentence and then go from there.
Reply:I'm no expert on this but it sounded like you've already known what you're gonna write.

So why not start with how important or a great invention the phone is and then go into your thesis talking about how it was invented and how it was developed.

For example (just an example)

The telephone is the greatest invention. It enabled us to communicate with each other instantly and made our lives easier......(ok, sorry, it's just me babbling, I'm sure you can come up with better stuff)

The followings are explanations on how the phone is invented, how it was developed, and how it........

Then you go on talk about these points in detail and come up with a nice conclusion.

Well, this is just my idea. Sorry it's not the greatest idea. lol

Good luck on your paper.

What economic policy would you write a research paper on??

For my macro economics class i have to write a research paper and i can't decide what would be the best thing to write about.... please help :)

What economic policy would you write a research paper on??
Before picking a topic for a research paper you should make sure you have something to say that is more than just opinion or anecdotal evidence.

http://www.economagic.com/

Has data on a large variety of economic variables for the US and a graphing utility. Look over the data and find a relationship that interest you and write about that. For example inflation and stock prices, inflation and oil prices all or any of the above and interest rates or GDP growth or money growth.

The topic I chose for my research paper is the Global warming controversy and the two sides of this are wheter is man made or natural. Im in desperate need of help I would greatly appreciate it Thanks.

Can someone please give me any ideas on wrtting a thesis statement for my research paper?
connection between global warming and the erosion of the ecological makeup of the planet or how global warming is destroying the tropical rain forests and eventually bring into risk human survival
Reply:I will give you a few ideas but, won't be postive if I am right. How about the hot air coming from some of the large factories, the thinning of the ozone,I think it has a lot to do with what man is doing now days. like with the large industries, state the harm of it, being too hot, causing deaths,damaging products. lack of water. I really can't think it is late here. Good luck.
Reply:I would choose one (man made/natural) and then make my thesis something like: (reasons you agree with this side) shows that global worming is a (natural/man made) process. Of course you have to have done some research to know what the support for your arguement will be.
Reply:how abot something like "This is the world we live on, are we destroying it?" O somethign along those lines...

Reply:Recently a best selling book has been reviewed. It's called Heyday by Kurt Anderson (link to the review below). The book revolves about the year 1848 and how important it was to world history. That brings me to my idea for your American history paper. In years following 1848 the west saw tremendous settlement - and the gold rush due to response from a private press release by Sam Brannan, an entrepreneur in 1848 who foresaw that the more easterners coming to California, the more money coming into his business interests). This was not the first discovery of gold in California. A paper discussing why the results of gold discovery in 1848 differed from previous California gold discovery would be truly interesting for you as well as the reader. To get source info, look at the newspaper abstracts (URL attached) for Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, and Sacramento counties. My ancestors during the 1850s settled in rich agricultural areas and raised food for the incoming population. There are lots of sources - I've included just a few. Good luck!

Reply:What exactly do you mean by American History? I ask because I think the history of our economy and how it developed is fascinating, and there are different angles to research. But I'm not sure if you're talking about events. If so, I find the Civil Rights Era very moving (in good and bad ways), so I'd suggest that. Or McCarthyism.
Reply:Yeah I don't know if this would interest you, but I saw a History Channel program once on the Flying Tigers of Burma. They were American fighter pilots who were hired by the Chinese right before World War II. Their logo became famous...they were the ones who painted the dog mouth on the front of their plane. Your topic could be whether or not the American Flying Tigers were the reason that the Chinese were able to stay in the war and eventually become a significant factor. War stuff always interested me, and I had the same dilemma but didn't want to do Pearl Harbor or something like that because it seemed like too much of a cliche. If that doesn't interest you, I also wrote a paper on the Jesse James gang, which was a famous gang of bank and train robbers in the old west. My topic was whether Jesse James and his gang were a group of cruel murderers or if they were more like Robin Hood figures to the common people of the old west. For sources I used the movie "The Long Riders" and the internet had a good turnout of information too. One last idea: the development of the automobile. After all, it all started in America with the good old Model T Ford. I've considered this several times but haven't gotten around to it yet. Hope this helps. I'll answer again if I can think of anything else.

What is a good topic to write an A+ research paper on.?
Here are some topics I've used for research papers:

History; The Assiassination of Tsar Nicholas II and the Russian Imperial Family (a lot of interesting politics and fun myths about people like Anastasia)

Science; How the Civil War Changed Medicine- new surgery and sanitation developed during the war.

English; William Shakespeare's Impact on the English Language and Storytelling- He created 2,000 words and wrote over 40 plays.

How can I begin my research paper?

2010-04-26T00:29:00.003-07:00

I can't think of any interest grabber introductions for my research paper. It is about John Steinbeck and my thesis is "Throughout Steinbeck's novel's, the characters (George, Elisa, etc.) change from having an understanding of their place to feeling uncertain."

How can I begin my research paper?
First of all, are you writing about all of Steinbeck's novels or just one?

Second try this: "Steinbeck's characters, in many of his works, seem to show and understanding and a connection with their surroundings and places in life. Steinbeck delves into their uncertainties and shows that confidence and certainty dont always go hand in hand."

As for an attention getter - find something funny to say about the book or the author - like "Steinbeck had some serious issues in this book and I dont think they were all in his characters either."

Hope that gets you started. Good luck!

I am not familiar with the works you are discussing so I can't really help much beyond trying to give you a title or at least some inspiration for you to come up with a better one.

I used to write professionally, one thing I learned is to break a paper into three parts.

1. Tell them what you plan to tell them

2. Tell them

3. Tell them what you told them.

It works in a courtroom. Lawyers start with opening statements, proceed with witnesses, then sum up what the witnesses said. The concept helped me, hope it does the same for you.

Good Luck, now start writing.
Reply:It's often a good idea to begin with a general statement about the topic. Make it something global, like "As human beings, most of us strive for a degree of familiarity in our surroundings." Go from there, and lead the reader to the logical conclusion of your thesis (generally as the last sentence of your introductory paragraph). I would strongly discourage you from an opening statement that includes any dictionary definition, nor should you begin with a statement like "The question of dynamic versus static surroundings is interesting." This leads the reader to ask, rhetorically, "If it weren't interesting, why would you be writing about it?"

Can you tell me how to write a conclusion paragraph for a research paper?
So what were YOUR conclusions after the study? Summarizing the high points is nice, but what changed or confirmed YOUR thinking? Pick a piece or example that touched you and tell how you now think about the matter after reading all that you read.

Conclusions generally come in three varieties: summaries, personal impact, and reevaluation of your thesis or hypothesis of study--did the study prove what you said it would. Since I don't know what the first and latter are, I can only speak to the middle one--how did the study affect how you think on the subject studied.
Reply:Regardless of the topic you need to summarise the main findings and conclusions of your research and if appropriate make recommendations for further work that should be done to follow-up on these matters
Reply:Briefly summarize the information which you have presented. Remember to not introduce any new information. Should be similar to the main points in your introduction.

What should I do my research paper on?

I am in my first year of college, and I have a research paper due in May. He told us that we could do it on any subject we want. I'm having trouble thinking of something... Can you give me some ideas?

Thanks :)

What should I do my research paper on?
I would make the most out if this paper and write about something you really enjoy, or something you are really interested in learning about. For instance is there anything in your life that you will need to do any research for in the near future. Remember, research is just gathering information. Have you decided on a major, or do you have an idea of what career field you would like to go into; you could write you paper about that and also learn more about your possible career choice.

Professors usually like to see that you have researched something that is in someway relative to you. Regardless of what you write about, make it something you are interested in, because you will mostly likely NEVER have another opportunity to write a research paper on anything you want.

Like compare %26amp; contrast how technology has changed our communication abilities within the last 100 years. How people back then did something %26amp; how long it took compared to today's people in the same situation. You can also learn alot yourself when doing the research.

Reply:how hr 25 and senate 25 the Fair Tax act would benefit America

you would get to keep all federal deductions in your paycheck, also no tax on savings accounts, inheritance taxes, capital gains - actually 10 taxes would go away

I make moderate money - but on 27k I had $5,445 taken out for taxes,social security and medicare - ooops I got a refund of $700!

I would have kept the $4745 and gotten a prebate, which is a rebate from the treasury dept as we do not pay taxes on the poverty level of income. If you have a soc sec # and you are an American making $9,800, you would get $185 per month as an adult. A family of 4 making a minimum of $26,600 would get about $506/month. (by the way, this has been calculated to be about $500 billion in spending - that is down from the $750 Billion we give out already - so that is 1/4 of a trillion in $aving$ there)

So for me that would make an increase in my take home pay of 32%+ - or over $7,003

What would that do to our economy? IRA's!? sales?/?

AND where the gov't took in 1.6 trillion dollars in taxes in 2005, the Fair Tax would have yielded 2 TRILLION $$$$$$

And 11 trillion $ would have come home from overseas savings accounts that 'escape' having to pay tax - WHAT WOULD $11T

how about the potential future economic growth of your country.or a country you'ld like to visit?

If you put the wrong page number when citing a book for a research paper, do you get in trouble?

2010-04-26T00:26:00.003-07:00

I don't have the page numbers for any of my books for my research paper and i don't want to go back to all the books so if i just make up a page # or don't put one does it matter?

If you put the wrong page number when citing a book for a research paper, do you get in trouble?
Well if you don't cite it then it's plagerism, which is illegal. I don't know...I guess I would just make up a page number.
Reply:Depending on your professor, he or she could take it very seriously. At my school, if you get caught citing things incorrectly (making up quotes/page numbers/etc.) you can get kicked out of school.

To cite something properly in MLA format, you need a page number. To cite properly in APA format, you only need the page number for quotes.
Reply:you have to put in page numbers; I doubt that your instructor will double check your citations but you never know

better safe than sorry
Reply:I doubt they will even check. There are too many students in the class.

What to include in French Culture research paper?

2010-04-26T00:26:00.002-07:00

What topics should I include in a research paper about French Culture?

What to include in French Culture research paper?
--Cuisine. Their meals are really different from ours (the order, what is served, the portion size, etc.) and there have been a lot of books written about the French and how they stay so thin (ie. the book "French Women Don't Get Fat" by Mireille Guiliano

--Cigarettes: Still really popular there--you can smoke it restaurants, bars, hotels, etc.

--Fashion. Known as the fashion capital of the world. Vogue and Elle were both founded there. Most of the most famous designers started their lines there: Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Lacroix, etc.)

--Art: Obviously. The Louvre. Roccoco and Baroque styles. Degas, Renoir, Pissaro, Gaugin, Cezanne. Enough said.
Reply:You cannot write anything about France without mentioning it's wine and food. The culture revolves around both.
Reply:The food, food is a very important part of the french culture, it has been one of the finest for years. You should research on french food: macarons, foie gras, cassoulet, and all sorts of patisseries. You can also talk about french fashion because of Paris: fashion capital of the world. Well here is some idea, you should definetly talk about food and bakery though.
Reply:Include their love and passion for food and wine.

I need to make an outline for a research paper does anyone help me out with any outline suggestions?
depending on your topic, for any paper you will want to use the classic INTRO/BODY/CONCLUSION... but this expanded version has helped me as I have written papers in college and masters work:

I. Intro your topic. Finish with the 3-5 points of your body (in other words introduce your body's outline)

II. Body

A. Interesting fact #1 + Illustration, research practical applications, etc.

B. Interesting fact #2 + Illustration, research practical applications, statistics, etc.

C. Interesting fact #3 + Illustration, research practical applications, etc.

III. Conclusion (Know where/how to land the paper! ususally you do this first)

Sometimes you finish with the final question answered, thought finished, application you liked the most, etc. If you need more help, just respond back...

Hope this helps...

What do you need to have in a research paper?

2010-04-17T01:47:00.001-07:00

I don't know how to write a research paper, can someone help me by telling the things that i need to put on it,

What do you need to have in a research paper?
Well, first you have to search and get enough information not to be lost in the middle of the paper. Search until you don't have any doubts about what you're working on. And please, don't forget to write down every SINGLE site that you're going to quote in the paper.

Then, you'll need an outline. In an outline, you have to have every paragraph you're going to write. But this one is a different outline. In this one you'll need only the quotes for each paragraph, your thesis, and the main sentences of each paragraph . When I wrote my research paper to my 10th grade English class, my teacher taught how to make some note cards for each quote.. In these note cards, you are going to name them and decide which paragraph they are going to be in. Of course, you are also going to write on them who quoted it and where it is (for example, on the internet on this website: "blablabla".)

With those note cards, you will lay them down on your living room floor and write your paper in your mind. Your outline will help you analyze where the note cards on the floor are going to go. So then, you just switch them around, as you'd like them to be.

After the hard work, you just sit down and write, and it is not going to take that long because by the time you made the note cards and the outline you should have all your paper memorized.

Of course, there are some little big things. As the title, the work cited (your teacher should help you with this one), the maximum number of pages (if there's any), and don't ever forget to introduce your quotes and cite them at the end of the sentence. The rest is like a normal paper, which I guess you already know how to write.

Don't be ashamed to ask for help when you need it. And Proofread, Proofread, Proofread, Proofread, Proofread, Proofread, Proofread, Proofread, Proofread, Proofread... until you get sick of it... unfortunately.

Good Luck! =)
Reply:You need to document your sources in a bibliography and include it at the end of your paper. Also, when writing your paper, you must sight the source you are refering to.

also, your opening paragraph must cover the points you wish to cover in your paper. Kind of like a laundry list only in sentence form and why you are coving it and an end statement.

Is a research paper supposed to be entirely of things taken directly from your sources?

2010-04-17T01:46:00.002-07:00

so my professor is having us do the whole thing with bibliography cards and note cards, in paper citing and multiple sources. I'm confused because he's very vague. Now is a research paper supposed to just be entirely of things taken out of your sources with the source cited after each paragraph? example (hawthorne 83)

Is a research paper supposed to be entirely of things taken directly from your sources?
no, that is what MY teacher calls an "information dump." that is bad. It would be very boring to read, and would be very choppy. Mostly, when you write your paper, insert your quote/paraphrase/summery/etc, and then explain it after. your sources should only help firm your argument. I feel your pain though, my research paper is due tomorrow!

I asked a question about an idea for my research paper and got some good answers. I dont want to quote them, but i guess it would be their idea that i was using. Even though I would expand on it to make it work with the rest of my paper do i have to give them credit? Its not really a big deal assignment, Im not publishing it or anything.

Do you have to give people credit if you used their answer to help you with an idea for a research paper?
No, you don't have to cite your source just for giving you an idea for a research paper, as long as you do all the research yourself. That would be like requiring you to cite your teacher when they give you a list of acceptable topics to research.
Reply:Ideas are free. As long as you re-write the idea into your own words you do not need to give credit.

Ideas from here would be impossible to cite since our real names are not used. Good luck with your project.
Reply:It's basically stealing their ideas and making their ideas your own. So, you have to credit their work.

For a research paper, what does it mean to block a citation?

2010-04-17T01:45:00.000-07:00

My teacher said "when quoting more than 4 lines, MLA says to block the citation". What does that mean? What should I do to my research paper?

For a research paper, what does it mean to block a citation?
It means that you take the entire quote, and you indent it 1" (two tabs) on the left. You can eliminate the quotation marks (unless you're quoting dialogue), and the period at the end of the quote goes before the parenthetical citation. Ex:

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah :

________blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

________blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

________blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

________blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

________blah blah blah blah. (57)

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ...

The underscores (_) above are to move the text over. Yahoo won't do it with spaces.

Remember that everything is double-spaced, even blocked quotes. If your teacher tells you to do it differently, do it his/her way, but know the right way too!

Hope this helps.

Can you use the same research paper for two different classes?

2010-04-17T01:44:00.002-07:00

I have a research paper due for both Eng. Comp. and for Biology, would there be anything ethically wrong with submitting the same research paper for both classes?

Can you use the same research paper for two different classes?
Yes, there is definitely something ethically wrong with that practice. Most universities consider this academic dishonesty, and you could be taken to student judicial proceedings if you are caught.

Each professor is asking for a specific assignment, and expecting you to complete OTHER, DIFFERENT assignments for other classes. You would, in simple terms, be plagiarizing yourself if you submitted the same paper twice.

If you are completely determined to submit the same paper for two different courses, you MUST ask your professors if they will accept this. They will probably say no, and explain why.
Reply:ethically, yes.

your english teacher would spot it in a minute. trust me.

two different disciplines would have very different ways of wording a paper.
Reply:Not just ethically wrong, it's technically a legal problem as well. You cannot (by most university standards) submit the same paper twice without the consent of BOTH instructors. Otherwise this is considered a form of plagiarism, and is often treated with the same degree of severity in front of a university judicial panel.
Reply:Well, yes. You were given two assignments and you should do two research papers. Can't quite understand how a biology research paper would qualify as an English composition research paper. That's a pretty huge stretch.

And it could be a real complication if your two profs ever found out.....
Reply:I don't think it would be unethical to use the paper as a base from which to rework a new paper. Professors do this all the time in their own work for conferences, publishing, and book writing. They don't develope new content at every corner. Papers are often read as lectures for years before being turned into books.
Reply:It happens all the time - its not the most ethical thing in the world to do, but its relatively common. Where you might run into trouble would be if you used the same paper in say, two history classes. Faculty in most departments routinely pass around lists of research papers that have been submitted to see if there are any duplications. If so, the person usually winds up failing both courses. And really, are you learning anything by just making a copy of a paper? That's the purpose of doing a research paper - to learn about a specific topic and you aren't doing that if you submit the same paper in two classes. Even if you don't get caught, you're cheating yourself.
Reply:Yes. Teachers will frown upon teh duplication of one paper for two courses. They fiew their course as the most important, and feel that if you submit one paper for both courses you are not treating the courses wtih equal imporatncve, which is a huge ego blow to the theacher. you can use the same research, but rewrite the focus of the paper to address the subject matter.

I'm starting a research paper, but how do i start my introduction?
go general more specific than speicific for example

Throughout the world there are many people without homes. In the United States most of the major cities and from the east to west coast have homless people In Los Angles California many homless people roaming the streets and nothing is being done to prevent this surplus. Although there are many people there are many ways to prevent homlessness in not only California but the world.
Reply:Your introduction should give background information on homelessness and it should tell the reader why he should care. Talk about how bad it is.

The intro is a great place to put in "There are this many homeless people living in LA." Your intro should also include the answer to "why is homelessness bad?" Something like "Homeless people are twice as likely to die than the average American." (I made that up, but I"m sure you can find something like that)
Reply:something like this: Homeless people can happen either by loss of money, loss of home, and loss of work. Homelessness is a matter that is affecting many people. Therefore, I will be discussing in detail about homeless people, and how to try to prevent people from becoming homeless.
Reply:You need a good attention getter. Something to give an introduction into what you are going to be covered and to grasp the readers attention. Perhaps something like "what would happen if you were to become homeless tomorrow" might just do it!

Is one week long enough to write a research paper?

2010-04-17T01:43:00.003-07:00

I have to write a 10-20 pg research paper on a topic in human physiology using medical journals primarily as sources. I have an entire 7 days to focus just on this task. Does this sound feasible to come out with a respectable looking paper? Of course it depends on what topic I choose to research, any suggestions would be extremely helpful thanks. This is for a human phys course.

Is one week long enough to write a research paper?
If you are in college it is (or should be). In high school I had to take a writing class. The class lasted a semester and required writing a 10 to 20 page (double spaced) paper complete with note cards, bib, etc. This was nothing compared to junior college. I'd routinely write seven to ten page reports for a couple classes each week. By the time I got to a four year school I would have to write weekly lab papers, complete with outside (library) research, in excess of 20 pages.

In work life I thought this would go away. No, I routinely write documentation papers that are five to ten pages single spaced. This is JUST the text portion; not the diagrams or screen shots.

Instead of posting on YAHOO! get busy writing SOMETHING. That is the biggest block to most tasks; getting started. Once you have SOMETHING in the computer you will feel much more at ease.

The biggest thrill for me at least was my first published work in a magazine. The circulation of the magazine was 50,000 at the time. So if only half the people reading the magazine read my article it meant 25,000 people read my work. This WILL make you want to be sure you check your facts and get everything right. I now publish on the magazine's web site. My work has been sited on numerous other web sites as well.
Reply:Stop stalling by asking if 7 days is enough time. Get on it! The hardest part is just starting. Once you start, it gets better.
Reply:yes it's enough if your only focusing on that, and pick a topic that you enjoy and really understand that way you will do better.

How did the composers of the 17th & 18th centuries influence music today? (For 5 page research paper, thanks!)

How did the composers of the 17th %26amp; 18th centuries influence music today? (For 5 page research paper, thanks!)
I think the problem is people don't want to do the homework for you.

It all has been a progression from then until now. It is hard to say "How did the composers of the 17th %26amp; 18th centuries influence music today" because without it, there would be no music today, or at least it would be nothing like it is.

Largest influence I will give you: The 12 tone scale. Look at all of the other cultures of the world (We are singling out "Western" culture) have scales of varying pitch structures, but generally, nothing like ours.

Music from that period influenced the Melody, Harmony, Scale structure, Rhythm etc. Anything you can say about music today, comes from the past.

Nothing against your teacher here, but it would be hard to do this paper. There are too many links.

If it were my paper, I would expose the progression of classical music from its beginning until now, and show how it has been one big influence after another.

But maybe I am over thinking this one...

2010-04-17T01:43:00.000-07:00

Hello! I'm writing a research paper over the affect of domestic violence on children and I was wondering how I could open it? This is a college course so it has to be good!

How to Open a Research paper?
In any paper you want to have a thesis. You should develop your thesis statement. Once you have your thesis statement defined your first paragraph should lead into it. I'm not sure what your thesis is so it would be hard to write and opening sentence for your paper.

Does the Intel Science Talent Search competition allow us to submit our research paper as a proposal?

2010-04-17T01:42:00.002-07:00

I am writing a research paper for the Intel Science Talent Search competition and I was wondering if it is okay if i submit a report that focuses on a design of an experiment that i came up with, based on research i did? It would be more like a proposal for an experiment that I will do but havn't done yet, instead of doing the experiment first and then reporting on the results. Is that okay according to the intel competition rules?

I don't think so. I think you actually have to do the research, submit it in a background information format, and run the experiment.

What is a crontroversial topic for a research paper on Olympic Swimming?
doping is a difficult topic to tackle...talk about the use of suits. many people take issue over the use of new 'fastskin' or full body suits. discuss whether use of those suits should be allowed and to what extent...where do we draw the line? will suits that have fins or propellers protruding some day be worn/allowed? that may be extreme, but olympic swimmers are not allowed to wear fins or hand paddles in a race because they enhance performance; don't some of the technology-enhanced suits people wear these days do the same thing? when does the sport stop being about human ability and start being a faceoff between different kinds of swimwear?

Reply:Whatever topic you decide on, be sure to narrow it down even further so you don't go off on a tangent -- and don't go for the obvious. For instance, if it's illegal immigration, take a point of view such as why illegal immigration works. If it's war, make it about why the US benefits from wars, or something like that.

How do I write an autobiographical research paper on how race relates to my community??

2010-04-17T01:40:00.003-07:00

FOr my Ethics class I have been asked to write a autobiographical research paper on how race relates to my community. I live in a small town, primarliy white and many people that live here are old and racist, I am not one of them. There is a small chinese family that runs a restaurant and that is about it. It also has to be in first person point of view.

How do I write an autobiographical research paper on how race relates to my community??
take on personas and interview everyone. there is a book, "black like me" where a white guy colored himself black, shaved his head, etc. and just walked around as a black guy. kind of interesting. or just use every different race friend you can beg borrow or buy, to go around and ask the same questions of the population.

I need help choosing a thesis statement for my research paper on gastric bypass?

2010-04-17T01:40:00.002-07:00

I'm writing my research paper on gastric bypass surgery and having a problem with my thesis. This subject has to sides a good and a bad so I dont know which way to go or what my thesis should be. Any ideas It will be helpful.

I need help choosing a thesis statement for my research paper on gastric bypass?
My sister had this surgery several years ago. I know getting rid of the weight has helped her, but it has caused physical problems too.

After the surgery, she had an infection and was in the hospital for a long time.

She could not eat much at one time, and if she ate too much, she would be in pain and throw up.

After she lost the weight, the did a tummy tuck and a year later, surgery to remove the extra skin of her thighs. She got another infection and was in the hospital and housebound for months. When they removed the skin of her thighs, they also removed some of her lymph glands. Now her legs are always tender and swollen, because the fluid has no where to go. She is also more sucsecptible to infections.

Just 3 weeks ago, something happened with the actual bypass. When they did it, they re-routed where her intestine meets her stomach. The intestine went through something to meet her stomach (I think they routed the small intestine through a hole in her large intestine, but I was not there when this was explained, so I do not know for sure.) Anyway, something herniated and she had to have more surgery to repair that. The dr said if she hadn't gotten to the hospital quickly, she would have developed blood poisoning and died.

Scary, huh?

As a large person (not as large as she was) I gave thought to this surgery. Seeing all she has been through, I will never do it. Too much pain and danger.

Reply:Just one point that I have for gastric bypass is to look at the long term affects of this surgery. Look at what harm it can cause the body.

Do you guys know any good topics about special education that I can use in my research paper? Please help. Thanks!

Can you please help me with my research paper?
I did a research paper on the NCLB Act back in the fall of 2006 and what I found was very disturbing. This is especially true when it involves lowering standards for the special education and changing test scores that the special education students received just so the state governments; such as Colorado, Michigan, New Jersey, and Texas just to name a few that illegally discriminated against the learning disabled, so they can obtain more federal funding without a single penny going to help the special education students obtain an equal education.

The sad part is the fact that the federal government does not do a follow up with any special education programs or the students to see just how much these students might have learned over the past year. That was until I faxed this research paper of mine straight to both US Secretary of Education and President Bush where I replaced my name and with "A Learning Disabled Retard." Well, that is about to change in the 2008-09 school year because the federal government has implemented a plan that involves properly monitoring the needs of every special education student in the country. That is what they claim anyway.
Reply:How many teachers in special schools are trained in special education.

How many teahers/aides describe the children as disabilities eg 'the downs children', The autistic girl', 'the palsy group'

instead of the children who have downs syndrome, or the girl with autism etc. These are children first who have a disability, not a disability who are children. It is quite common and is difficult to change the long standing habit. Good luck with your paper, hope it helps a deserved group.
Reply:What schools are doing for special education children as compared to what they should be doing and make excuses not to do.

Many special needs children do not get the supplies or assistance that they need because the school does not want to pay for it, doesn't want to give the student the time of a paid therapist, counselor, or aid, or 'never gets around to it'. Blind children go without braille books, teachers don't follow the rules for an autistic child's needs (if he does x, do y, and he'll be fine)...I've even read about a child with ADHD being suspended for his behaviour, this behaviour caused because the teacher was having him sit still by himself and he couldn't actively participate in class.
Reply:I agree with Sarah.....also you could research the assessment tools that are used........WISC and WRAT are 2 that come to mind........the consistency , validity and reliability of the assessments. ALso, the person giving these tests.......what are his/her credentials? HOw many Special education teachers are actually CERTIFIED in the area they should be.....for example...you have a SPEcial education teacher working with an Emotionally disturbed student but she is only double endorsed in Mental Retardation and Learning Disabilities!! (this would mean she is not endorsed in the correct area to be working with an ED child and therefore NOT QUALIFIED)

How would I begin organizing this research paper?

2010-04-17T01:39:00.002-07:00

I'm working on a research paper for philosopy and what I'm trying to prove is Socrates' "All I know is that I know nothing". The way I'm trying to prove this quote is like this: Socrates believed that knowlege is only "justified true belief". Beliefs stem from what we observe, and our observations come from perception and sense-data. Since all our perspectives can be different or even flawed (like how some view the glass as half empty, and others view the glass as half full) no one is "right" and therefore the things we call "facts" don't really exist, so we can never have accurate "knowledge" of anything. So..what would be a good thesis for this paper, and how would I go about organizing it?

How would I begin organizing this research paper?
doesnt that have to do with perception as well..

if i perceive i know better than everybody else about a certain thing.. then i would know best about it.. and some things may be right because they exist only because u have pondered over them right..

fine chuck that.. i was trying to contradict ur theory.. which is amazing btw.

could u trace the line from thought, observation, then the processing of it, and the conclusions we draw from it..

and how different it rele is from person to person..

u cld prob show a pic to a bunch of ppl n ask them what they believe the pic depicts.. it will vary , and they will all be certain it is something..

maybe something on those lines, have fun with ur project
Reply:You could tackle it in a very traditional way when approaching a research paper; begin with a literature review. Discuss what other Socrates scholars have had to say on the subject and then defend an opinion that is similar to your own.

It is always easier to stand on the shoulders of others, especially when they have PhD.'s. It will also help shed light how Socrates' message was lost on scholars because they argue over what he really meant. That's what you call comedic irony.

Or you could use the Bill and Ted approach:

"All we are is dust in the wind dude"

Help with writing a thesis statement for a research paper?
Although Gangster Rap's lyrics have been seen as disrespectful, inane, and unacceptable by many people, there is a proven way that the lyrics often promote violence, gangs, money, and the sexual exploitation of women

then How?
Reply:It would probably be better to contrast two songs and explain how each of them influence certain groups of people. One of rap nature and one that is totally opposite ... probably some old hippie song about love and living together in peace. I'm thinking of someone like James Taylor or something.

Your thesis would probably be something like, "Almost everyone living on Earth choses what music mosts influences him or her, yet those influences can often reflect ideas and/or actions that leave either positive or negative effects on society."

Then in the 3 body paragraphs, just talk about 1 of those 3 things in each one.

Reply:Well, they obviously do those things. Choose something to argue about. I once had a professor tell me that an A paper always started out with a thesis that he didnt agree with.

How can i write an introduction and conclusion to an alternative fuels research paper?
k, a thesis statement, is just stating what u know and what is obvious, but no one really thinks about. Like the fact that everyday we spend millions on gas and havent changed our cars engines to use vegie oil or some other type of fuel. If this is not just about gas, do the same for the other kinds of fuels. then in ur conclusion, kinda restate your thesis, and tell how you proved yourself, like go back to one of ur points and tie it into the conclusion. it is really simple, ur prob confused, sorry. hopefully i helped.
Reply:it would be nice if you made your request a little more specific... but i'll try my best.

first of all, in the first paragraph, write what you're going to talk about, and the thesis statement will help in directing your paper. a nice hook in the first sentence might be nice, too.

remember to stick to the topic stated in your thesis. in the conclusion, wrap everything up. if necessary, state your thesis again.

Based on Census Bureau data, this study finds that, when all taxes paid (direct and indirect) and all costs are considered, illegal households created a net fiscal deficit at the federal level of more than $10 billion in 2002. We also estimate that, if there was an amnesty for illegal aliens, the net fiscal deficit would grow to nearly $29 billion.

Among the findings:

Households headed by illegal aliens imposed more than $26.3 billion in costs on the federal government in 2002 and paid only $16 billion in taxes, creating a net fiscal deficit of almost $10.4 billion, or $2,700 per illegal household.

Among the largest costs are Medicaid ($2.5 billion); treatment for the uninsured ($2.2 billion); food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches ($1.9 billion); the federal prison and court systems ($1.6 billion); and federal aid to schools ($1.4 billion).

With nearly two-thirds of illegal aliens lacking a high school degree, the primary reason they create a fiscal deficit is their low education levels and resulting low incomes and tax payments, not their legal status or heavy use of most social services.

On average, the costs that illegal households impose on federal coffers are less than half that of other households, but their tax payments are only one-fourth that of other households.

Many of the costs associated with illegals are due to their American-born children, who are awarded U.S. citizenship at birth. Thus, greater efforts at barring illegals from federal programs will not reduce costs because their citizen children can continue to access them.

If illegal aliens were given amnesty and began to pay taxes and use services like households headed by legal immigrants with the same education levels, the estimated annual net fiscal deficit would increase from $2,700 per household to nearly $7,700, for a total net cost of $29 billion.

In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide (which total 1,200 to 1,500) target illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) are for illegal aliens.

60 percent of the 20,000-strong 18th Street Gang in southern California is illegal; police officers say the proportion is actually much greater. The bloody gang collaborates with the Mexican Mafia, the dominant force in California prisons, on complex drug-distribution schemes, extortion, and drive-by assassinations, and commits an assault or robbery every day in L.A. County. The leadership of the Columbia Lil’ Cycos gang, which uses murder and racketeering to control the drug market around L.A.’s MacArthur Park, is about 60 percent illegal. Need more facts?
Reply:Check out www.uscis.gov

It is the immigration and naturalization website for the US.

It cites the laws that govern the rules for immigration, and details the process you go through.

It is a lengthy, confusing process, especially difficult for someone to whom English is a second language.

I am not defending illegal immigration by any means, but the confusion and the expense are probably some major factors in why people choose to cross illegally.
Reply:ice.gov and www.uscis.gov would be your best bets other than that I don't know how reliable anything else would be.

I hope this helps!

What do most teachers look for when your writing a research paper on a lab for pH?

2010-04-17T01:37:00.001-07:00

i trying to figure out how to write a research paper on a pH lab and the teacher wasnt specific about what she wanted

What do most teachers look for when your writing a research paper on a lab for pH?
Science and math professors don't like details that don't belong. Don't write it like an English paper where you can elaborate more. Don't write anything that doesn't belong in the paper. In writing a lab, it should have enough details that someone could do exactly what you did. This includes even writing which company made the equipment you used unless it's strictly funnels, pipettes, beakers, etc. Make sure you cite other people's work if you used that. The best thing to do is email the professor or go to their office and talk to them. They should be willing to tell you what they're looking for.
Reply:Ask the professor what they are looking for. None of them are specific initally.
Reply:it depends on the teacher. so look for everythign to cover all teh basics of it.. put what ever you think will be sufficent.. unfortunately.. no one can really tell you what to write.. for its rare that any of these people would have had the same teacher..

so all i suggest is to write down everything that you think will be sufficient for it
Reply:For one thing, use proper spelling and proper verbage. Not to knock yours, but "when your" should be "when you're" (when you are). Next, don't be afraid to ask for specifics. Usually teachers hand out a rubric for research papers. (I did.) If the paper is due in stages (ex. notecards, rough draft, etc.), ask for a critique and/or suggestions for improvement. Good luck!

What to write about hurricanes in research paper?

2010-04-17T01:36:00.002-07:00

im doing an 8th grade research paper on hurricanes and was wondering what should i talk about. Should i talk about how it starts, what categories are they, places that they hit, the times that they hit,and the worst hurricanes tht ever hit the u.s. Should i talk about all this?

What to write about hurricanes in research paper?
well ya, imma only in 6th grade, but i did a research paper on them once. i wrote down about LA, their huricanes there. some of the ones that were round FL. i told how they formed out in the ocean. and some facts about the most popular huricanes...i got an A :3

Gluckies~ on your report
Reply:Oh, how porphet said that he survied a hurricane, ash someone who survied and ask them what it was like to be in one. Report Abuse

Reply:You should talk about all of it! Start off giving a general overview of the storm; the who, what, when where, why and how. Then get into more detail about what has to happen in order for a hurricane to take place. Be sure to include how and why they are placed into certain categories. Close with the most devastating hurricanes that you can find. Use as many resources as you can and cite them all. Good luck!
Reply:You should talk about when the hurricane season is, how hurricanes can form after the season, damages and effects, mandatory evacuations, talk about one of te worst hurricanes which would be Hurricane Andrew. This happened at Florida in 1992.
Reply:I survived thru hurricanes francis , jean, and katrina. I would write about where the storms begin, the seasons for hurricanes, the different levels, the damage caused by these different levels, and where they are most likely hit. A good website is NOAH. They fall all hurricanes past and present.

Catchy title for autism and vaccines research paper?

Autism: Improved Diagnostic Criteria or Pocket Epidemic?
Reply:I know this isn't answering your question but I would like to give you my input......would you consider changing your topic of research to something like "Autism: the war of Dopamine and Seratonin"? I have done quite a bit of research on Autism and other neurological disorders trying to find answers for my son and truly believe that it is a chemical(dopamine,seratonin) imbalance that causes and creates all the symptoms we see in autism. My son doesn't have autism, he has a different neurological issue, however, he is being treated successfully by an unbelievably wise and courageous woman that has devoted most of her adult life to children with brain injury. She has removed the Autism diagnosis from many children's lives with gentle multi-sensory stimulation that parents administer at home. She has videotaped her patients progress so the proof is undeniable in my eyes. I hope you are as excited about this information as I was when I first found it......Please let me know if I can help you with more information on this topic. Good luck to you!

Best Regards,

Molly

Yes, because since the knowledge is uncommon, you must have gotten it from somewhere. Cite it to safe yourself from plagarizing. They ramped up the definition to include "ideas" from other people.

When writing a research paper what type of information do you include in endnotes? what are endnotes anyways?

2010-04-15T00:27:00.003-07:00

i dont even know what end notes are, let alone how to incorporate them into my research paper. can any one help me figure out what they are, where to put them in the body of the paper, and what information to include in the end note itself?? please help - its urgent !

When writing a research paper what type of information do you include in endnotes? what are endnotes anyways?
from what ive used and learned at school, end notes are often a way to cite material and make certain distinctions you dont have time to delve into in your paper itself. Typically you are putting bibliographical information, depending on the citation system you are using, along with the occasion elaboration on material if you desire to. The end notes work as you would think, you put them after the end of your paper as sort of Works Cited pages. If you know what footnotes are, its that but instead of the bottom of the page they are placed at the end.

drawback of endnotes, you always have to flip back and forth to view the citations, not always an efficent way to study a material.
Reply:end notes are some what similar to conclusions.u can say to sum up this what u feel about the entire study.
