  1. My research paper will show both arguments on abstinence is it effective or not and what proof will back it up,i will also state my opinion on what i believe. I didnt have any difficulites because i know its a big topic so i could find everything i needed to support both points. i learned that teaching abstinence has its ups and down but according to a few studies done an all around sex education is important because the teens have a right to their options.

  3. My research paper is about how to improve in coping with the accounting environment. It also shows a person the positives and negatives in dealing with accounting.
    Some difficulties i had were how to incorperate my ideas in an organized manner. Also i hade some issues with how to do my work cited page

    I learned that there is a lot to accounting. It isnt only about just punching in numbers and seeing if there is a profit or loss. Its about building a relationship with a business and getting comfortble with the rules on how to be a good accountant.

  4. My research is about cancer. Because there is so much to talk about it was very difficult for me to concentrate on a specific theme. With this project, I learned to choose what was very important to me and the message that I wanted to give on my essay.

  5. To brandon: Just like you I had difficulties incorporating my ideas, I didn't know how to organize them, and with the citations as well.

  6. 1) My reseach paper is about how animals in medical exprementation is wrong for both scientific and ethical reasons. I start off with naming the scientific reasons, such as the difference between anatomies (humans and animals) and naming some chemicals that are poisonuous to humans but not animals or vice versa. I also have a paragraph on alternatives that would be better than animals. The scientific aspect is pretty much my whole paper, but I want to incorporate some ethical reason near the end because I truly believe (no matter how many scientists argue against it) that animals do feel pain, sorrow, lonelyness and compassion and for these reasons animals shouldn't be used in medical testing anymore. I have a scientif book that displays these emotions in animals.
    2) I'm having a difficult time incorporating the ethical part of my argument because I don't want my reader to think I'm trying to persuade them by making it too emotional; the anecdotes are emotional but they scientifically display that animals have and display emotions.
    3) I was already familiar with my topic, but I did learn more about chemicals that are poisonous to animals.

  7. My reseach paper is about"The Power of Music" music has the power to cause emotion to well up within us. When nothing else will do to soothe the soul,the perfect remedy for some is the power of music. Just as the biblical figure David played his lyre to calm trouble King Saul, sweet sounds often refresh the senses, touch the heartand heal the wounds during difficult times.

    It is really confusing for me the concepte essay and reseach paper.

  8. My topic for my research paper is somewhat informing people what goes on when a women who has HIV/AIDS is pregnant. The women will recieve prenatal care just was that a lot of info was based in other countries, I was trying to find info based in as any other women, but she will be given the drug AZT to prevent the infection from mother to child. Some of the difficulties with researching this info America, American stories if you will. I really didn't find anything to spectacular in the drug AZT, just that many third world countries do infact use that drug for pregnant women who are infected with the virus. Nothing else is a problem just have to complete the assignment.

  9. ATT: Vielka,

    Cancer is an enormus topic, I see how you can't just focus on one theme. My topic is almost similar in a way. Hope you can fit everything in one paper.
