RESEARCH PAPER

A. What is research?

If you’ve watched any detective movies, you’ll find the job of sleuthing that leads to finding a culprit to a crime, somewhat interesting. When investigators interview their witness, read through files and reports, piece together clues and attempt to uncover criminals, their search is exciting. The enthusiasm is often attributed to the purposeful excitement of discovering the unknown. Yet, the people who may find murder mysteries exciting may not be aware that academic research is in its essence similar in nature to all other research. Honest and inquisitive research writing demands attention to details. The research process can be tedious. However, if you see the work contributing to new knowledge and discoveries, you may find research work meaningful. As you consider what others have to say about your subject, you will become an expert on the subject in your own right. You will form an in-depth knowledge of the field that you care about, and you will be able to communicate that to your audience.

B. Why should you document your sources?

As with all good research, some amount of library work is essential. When using library research, you must be careful to keep a thorough record of all your sources. Do refer to the annotated bibliography assignment for the necessary items needed for documentation. In your process of researching, you must not only document your sources, but also analyze and evaluate your sources. You must also draw from work done by other researchers to form, support, and extend your own opinions. You must practice intellectual integrity by presenting the work others have done, accurately, and by acknowledging your sources of information. You are expected to develop a thesis for your topic, do research on it, form a position on your findings, and develop argumentations in support of your thesis.

C. What are the general requirements of this assignment?

You must make sure that this research paper is not a mere report, but a true research where you address societal concerns by exploring new ways of dealing with real life problems. The target audience must go away feeling that they’ve learned and discovered something new from your research findings. You must find a way of analyzing and studying your interest area from a fresh, new perspective. The research must allow for the readers to see a clear link between the findings and the analysis of the underlying issues, themes, values, assumptions or beliefs that control current ways of looking at the problem. You must find a way to persuade your audience to draw new meanings and new ways of seeing the world from the argumentations, analysis, and findings. The research paper should present your positioning on where you stand in the conflicting opinions of the field and how you intend to resolve it. It is extremely important that your arguments build towards a cohesive way of seeing the field of study from a new-fangled perspective.

D. How do you pick a topic?

Know that your choice of topic is very important for your research and that your topic proposal will be evaluated for research worthiness before it will be approved for the research project. Research worthiness will be evaluated on a scale of how the topic appeals to the concerns of a common audience and if it would have impact on the target audience. Obviously, topics that are more controversial are usually seen as topics that are more appealing to the masses. Having said that, what that appeals to the masses may be areas that may not completely satisfy the research worthy criterion as these may be topics that have not been addressed in scholarly research or topics that have very little impact value. Such topics would certainly be disastrous for our purpose. Therefore, I suggest that you leave such topics out. Be aware that all topics that do not meet the criterion of research worthiness, will have to be reworked for a better topic.

E. Parameters for the assignment:

For the purpose of this research, you must write an eight to twelve-page paper (excluding the references) on the topic that you have proposed. The research paper must be based on the research that was proposed, documented, and researched in this class. All papers must be double spaced and presented in Times New Roman 12pt. font, with a one-inch margin and presented in the MLA format. All papers must have at least 10 MLA style in-text citation and a minimum of 10 references in a MLA style work cited page. These references should be from those that were listed in your annotated bibliography. All research material referred to and cited in the work cited page must be presented in a research portfolio.

Your research portfolio must consist of all the materials below:

Research Process Total 2,000 points

Topic Proposal 100 points

Proposal Conference 200 points

Proposal Plan 100 points

Research Question 50 points

Topic Proposal and Research Plan:

Below are the heuristics for the topic proposal and research plan assignment:

· Topic proposal must be two pages long.

· Topic proposal must clearly define the area that you are studying for the research paper.

· The topic must show be narrow enough for the length of the assignment.

· The researcher must also suggest the reasons why he/she has chosen to limit the research within the specific area. The reasons can comprise of any particular social, political, economical hardship, or problem that communities around the world are facing. It is also crucial for the researcher to stipulate how the researcher is directly or indirectly impacted by it as well.

· The purpose for the topic proposal is to convince me and your classmates that your topic is research worthy.

· After identifying the topic, it is crucial that the researcher has a research plan.

· The purpose for the plan is for the researcher to have an individualized timeline or plan for the completion of the final research paper.

· The researcher is required to incorporate all the due dates scheduled in his/her calendar into his/her plan towards the final completion of the research paper.

Topic Proposal – The need for space exploration

I have always been fascinated with the many wonders of space. The vast majority of it is unknown and is just waiting for man to discover its next wonder. Since I was younger I wanted to be one of the few pioneers that explore the final frontier known as space, but later on as I discovered more my interest to a pioneer declined. However, my interest in space itself never did. With everything that goes on today in politics it seems like space exploration isn’t anyone’s interest at this time, but it should be. Overpopulation, global warming, the every going lack of unrenewable resources, these problems will impact the Earth heavily in the 20-30 years. It’s even estimated that the human race would go extinct by the year 2100 by the late Stephen Hawkings if we don’t make space exploration a top priority. In my paper I plan on talking about the growing need for space exploration by addressing these issues and solving them with the limitless expectations of space travel.

I will begin by briefly addressing the history of space exploration. The earliest example of this would an event during the Cold War, the Space Race. This relatively short event is what kick started a lot of technological advancement for western society. It was also the peak of Americans’ interest in space exploration. Although space exploration is fairly new, it should still be one of America’s top priority because it could solve a lot of the nation’s problems when it comes to resources and could be the next million-dollar idea. A lot of business type millionaires actually invest in private companies to fund programs like asteroid mining. Asteroid mining could supply the world with billion dollars’ worth of resources that could supply us for centuries.

After talking about a brief history and some of the benefits of space exploration I would go in-depth into issues like overpopulation and how it treats humanity’s existence. Then after addressing each issue I will then explain how space exploration can solve it. In many case of overpopulation, in the next 20 years the earth’s population should grow near 10 billion. This means third world problems like hungry, dehydration/water shortages, and wide spread diseases could become a big issue in first world countries despite how develop most are. With space exploration we have a few options. Either colonize place like the Moon and Mars which are quite simple. Each colony could hold up to millions of people. Or the more extreme possibility would be terraforming planets which would deserve its own few paragraphs because terraforming is very useful.

Lastly, I could possibility talk about space exploration but more in-depth. I could talk about it in a certain aspect. For example, space travel. Space travel because a very intense problem once you talk beyond our solar system. It’s still a huge problem within our solar system but it is very manageable.

Topic Proposal

A. How do you pick a topic?

Know that your choice of topic is very important for your research and that your topic proposal will be evaluated for research worthiness before it will be approved for the research project. Research worthiness will be evaluated on a scale of how the topic appeals to the concerns of a common audience and if it would have impact. You must try to find a research angle that will provide you a meaningful research experience. Obviously, topics that are more controversial are usually seen as topics that are more appealing to the masses. Having said that, what that appeals to the masses may be areas that may not completely satisfy the research worthy criterion as these may be topics that have not been addressed in scholarly research or topics that have very little impact value. Such topics would certainly be disastrous for our purpose. Therefore, I suggest that you leave such topics out. Be aware that all topics that do not meet the criterion of research worthiness, will have to be reworked for a better topic.

B. Parameters for Research Proposal and Research Plan

Below are the heuristics for the topic proposal and research plan assignment:

· Topic proposal must be two pages long.

· Topic proposal must clearly define the area that you are studying for the research paper. Find a scope that is interesting and narrow enough so you will be forced to research deeper instead of broader.

· The topic must show be narrow enough for the length of the assignment.

· The researcher must also suggest the reasons why he/she has chosen the topic and the scope of research. The reasons can comprise of any particular social, political, economical hardship, or problem that communities around the world are facing. It is also crucial for the researcher to stipulate how the researcher is directly or indirectly impacted by it as well.

· The purpose for the topic proposal is to convince me and your classmates that your topic is research worthy.

· After identifying the topic, it is crucial that the researcher has a research plan—a strategy on how to get the research done.

· The purpose for the plan is for the researcher to have an individualized timeline or plan for the completion of the final research paper.

· The researcher is required to incorporate all the due dates scheduled in his/her calendar into his/her plan towards the final completion of the research paper. The plan must also differentiate the class due date and the date when the researcher is planning to work on it.
